JJ: What is a Christian?

JG: Christian is a term used to describe a broad range of those who believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God. I think of myself at an Evangelical Christian and regularly attend a Pentecostal church.

JJ: When I think of Pentecostals, I think of speaking in tongues and snake handlers.

JG: No snakes, no tongues. I know we’re trying to be light, but that is insulting. Pentecostals believe they experience the power of the Holy Spirit at various times. I believe that also since I have experienced it first-hand. It’s not something that can be easily explained.

JJ: Do you believe in Heaven and Hell?

JG: I absolutely believe in Heaven and Hell. They’re just like what the Bible says they are.

JJ: Who were some of your White House journalist buds?

JG: Actually, Helen Thomas and I always got along well. I still see her from time to time. Even though we have vastly different points of view, we have great respect for each other.

JJ: Is their a journalistic hierarchy in the White House Press Corps?

JG: There is indeed a journalist hierarchy. I spend a bit of time talking about that in my book. There were no bloggers at the White House when I was there. They only got in after I left in February 2005.

JJ: Would you say you opened the doors for the new media and do you think it will soon be the media of choice?

JG: I am absolutely responsible for opening the doors to the press briefings for the New Media. I’m not sure when the New Media will replace the Old Media, but it will be sooner than later.

JJ: I want to mention some “old media” journalist and pop culture figures and get your opinion. Anderson Cooper.

JG: Being Gloria Vanderbilt’s son explains a lot.

JJ: Rita Cosby.

JG: Nice lady, too bad about having to go to MSNBC, it’s where news show hosts go to die.

JJ: Bill O’Reilly.

JG: Kicks Olbermann’s ass.

JJ: Howard Stern.

JG: A media pioneer, but not my kind of humor.

JJ: Matt Lauer.

JG: Where in the world is Matt Lauer and why are we looking for him anyway?

JJ: Mary Hart.

JG: Is she still around?

JJ: Rev. Ted Haggerd.

JG: He says that he’s “a liar and a deceiver.” I probably can’t add much to that.

JJ: The Scissor Sisters.
