5. So now they're pretending Clinton is still president?

Every damn time anything goes wrong in Chimpy's house, he wheels out his most reliable bogeyman: Bill Clinton.

7. OMG! David Gregory is furious with Snotty Scotty.

He is yelling at McClellan to stop dodging his questions. And stop accusing him (Gregory) of playing the "blame game" because he is asking questions to which people deserve an answer.

This is the most contentious press conference yet!

10. Helen Thomas asked if Bush agreed with his mother's categorization of

the people in the Astrodome as "underprivileged" people for whom their situation is an upgrade.

I still can't. It's clear that the media has woken up to what's going on (or not going on) in the White House.

14. My favorite question

Q Well, the President has said that this government can do many things at once: It can fight the war on terror, it can do operations in Iraq, and aid and comfort people in Louisiana. Can it not also find time to begin to hold people accountable? It sounds, Scott, as if the line that you're giving us -- which is, you don't want to answer questions about accountability because there's too much busy work going on --

16. Ohhhh, they said it. They called him out.

MR. McCLELLAN: We can engage in this blame-gaming going on and I think that's what you're getting --

Q No, no. That's a talking point, Scott, and I think most people who are watching this --

And again....

MR. McCLELLAN: We are securing the American people by staying on the offensive abroad and working to spread freedom and democracy in the Middle East.

Q That's a talking point. That's a talking point.

Will this be re-broadcast? I would like to watch.

25. When I heard him say that. . .

I swear I saw a pig fly by my window.

Satan called me and told me he was freezing.

I found Jimmy Hoffa

My cat and dog made up

A great bean stalk sprung forth from the ground. I climbed it and discovered cold fusion

and so on. . .. . .

Kicked for exposing a crack in a crumbling empire!

36. True True.. but a little push

never hurts, Scotty only needs a tiny nudge. I bet the repukes are longing for the days of Ari. well at least the Ari before he got all tangled up with that Rove, Cia leak, stuff.. but that's just one more shining example of where the buck stops, so far it hasn't like the broken levees it just keeps on hemorrhaging!
