Scotty has a new name for * fuck ups - "presidential perogative"
Another way of George saying "I am the president so I get to decide."


Q So the President is inconsistent?

McCLELLAN: No, David, we put a policy in place regarding this investigation --

Q But it's hypocritical. You have a policy for some investigations and not others, when it's a political ally who you need to get work done?

McCLELLAN: Call it presidential prerogative; he responded to that question. But the White House established a policy --

Q Doesn't it raise questions about his credibility that he's going to weigh in on some matters and not others, and we're just supposed to sit back and wait for him to decide what he wants to comment on and influence?

McCLELLAN: Congressman DeLay's matter is an ongoing legal proceeding --

Q As is the Fitzgerald investigation --

McCLELLAN: The Fitzgerald investigation is --

Q -- As you've told us ad nauseam from the podium.

McCLELLAN: It's an ongoing investigation, as well.

Q How can you not -- how can you say there's differences between the two, and we're supposed to buy that? There's no differences. The President decided to weigh in on one, and not the other.

McCLELLAN: There are differences.

2. Bagdad Scott
Bagdad Scott hasn't much credibility these days. He sounds just like Bagdad Bob. Why should anyone ever believe anything he has to say ever again? He is just another republican who gets paid to lie to the American people. In other words, a traitor to the American people who will hopefully go to prison with the rest of them!

3. "ad nauseam"
Go, David! You just can't use that phrase too much with this administration.
