16. SM is a bigger weenie head than Ari!
I did not think it was possible, but fact is,
they found an even bigger liar to
replace Ari.
Really fits the whole theme of the neocon story though-
Just when you think it can't get worse, it DOES!

Says in effect that Wilson keeps changing the subject. Note the "fair game" answer spin. Reporter says-we're asking you. Scott keeps asking her to repeat her question. Now he's getting snotty-what's the issue here?

Verbal tap dancing to avoid the questions-
He doesn't say crappola and then attacks the reporters
with smart-ass retorts, or uses the most infantile debating

Scotty loses his place while defending the "anonymous source" and starts talking about how the pretzel in chief doesn't condone leaks. Interesting. We know now who his first priority is as far as protecting people. Was the Prezz involved? Who knew he knew???

Nevertheless he's even more vindictive than Rove, if that's possible.

I'm intrigued.

80. "He has changed his statements many times" re:Wilson
OF course no one else has recently changed their positions/reasons or back tracked on previous statements.

78. Where is Helen Thomas?
I am holding my breath, I REALLY want to

"Dear God, if you are there, PLEASE give Helen ONE question!"

83. McClellan says there was no communication WH-DoJ Monday night
They asked earlier about waiting a day to issue the order to save everything. No real answer.

87. Just asked about W's responsibility to find leaks when story broke
Edited on Wed Oct-01-03 12:23 PM by underpants
Scotty says that the WH had no information other than what was in news reports. Earlier he said that "anonymous sources" were cited in the article, he just did it again.

Uh Scotty the "anonymous sources" were also called "Senior White House officials".....this is Rovian to the extreme.

93. And this will be their downfall.
I believe the CIA has PROOF that the order came from the top! They are just letting the WH dig a deeper hole. All I got to say is you DON'T mess with the CIA. Bugs anyone?

What day and time will Scott McClellan get the "Nixon Shove" from Smirky, Like Ron Ziegler did during Watergate?

Nixon bristled when he saw Ziegler helping the news media too much. During one visit to New Orleans, he shoved Ziegler and snapped, "I don't want any press with me, and you take care of it."

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/02/10/politics/main540113.shtml

My fellow geezers will remember the footage of Ron getting spun around by the shoulders and shoved toward to podium by Nixon. Humiliating.

And note that Ziegler actually apologized to the press when the resignations came down.

98. David Kay, Current head of WMD goose chase in Iraq.
He will or has issued a report, that will say that they found nothing.

92. I Miss Ari
Now there was a guy who you could just hate and feel good about it. He was such a damned good jack-booted guardian of the President's media visage! That lying bastard must have spent hours in front of the mirror practicing not gut-laughing or snorting while spinning some of this outrageous yarns and ignoring questions. He was good, but in a really, really bad way.

This guy looks like he needs to go back to whatever high school debate team they recruited him from.

96. I agree. But something really, really smelly must have been
going on when Ari felt the need to step down. I remember I talked to a friend about this, when Karen and Ari jumped ship if something really dangerous to the WH might be coming down the pike for the first rats to start jumping ship.

94. "Brutal regime"
is the reason Iraq's infrastructure is in shambles.
NOT the sanctions or the relentless bombing.
Got that?
Now, next subject.
He is blowing it soooo bad...
"I'll be back tomorrow, gotta go change my depends,
cause I just pissed my pants"
The reporters ATE him for lunch!
GOOD, say I!

99. I was really offended...
...by Jim Angle's "questioning" that was meant only to present Scott McClellan with ways to dodge the questions. He was feeding McClellan help. As was that other reporter who kept insisting on the partisanship of Wilson.

In the meantime, on FAUX, David Corn was battling C. Boyden Gray and a whole audience of FAUX viewers. He did pretty well. Someone needs to tell him, though, that Wilson donated to Bush-Cheney 2000.

101. I thought Wilson was lost at sea a few years ago
I guess he got saved. The Fed Ex guy went lolo but he too got saved.
