I'm waiting for the "3rd Rate Burglary" sound bite....Talk about "Critical mass"? Cheyney's Shit is percolating on the front burner,911 Commission taking testimony,Halliburton.

"I was at Harvard Business School(smirk)!? The Army and I 'worked it out'...I did my duty" More LIKE HOWDY DOODY!

1. He had such a self-satisfied smirk on his face
when the press conference began...but slunk away with his tail between his legs.

2. He was absolutely terrible. He was FREAKING OUT....
The repetition alone was hard to watch. "The president fulfilled his duties...blah, blah.... you only get paid for the days you show up...blah, blah...I already answered that...blah, blah". He is not the guy for the job. He doesn't believe his own spew and he's not very good at hiding it. I say he won't last long at all.

4. Why do you think Ari bailed? He had to have known what was coming.

7. Do you remember Clinton's press secretary?
I forget his name... He must've really HATED going to work in the morning! The press never let up on him at all. He took alot of crap before he quit.

3. More Nixon flashbacks, please!
I want to see The Chimp with that line of sweat on his upper lip--the kind that Nixon had when he began to see The End approaching. It was horribly fascinationg to watch; no amount of TV makeup could hide it.

:evilgrin:

5. Ron Ziegler was better at his job than McClellan and had a sense of humor
He appeared on SNL in the early days, when politicians didn't do that.

6. His Mommy Will Take Him on As Her Press Secty (TX Governor)
She has her sights set on replacing Governor Goodhair (Rick PERRY, he of the TX redistricting-Tom DeLAY theft). But before Scott gets over his post-traumatic-stress-disorder from the crumbling Shrub regime, there will have to be sessions between him and mommy around the question, "How come Brother got the cushy FDA job, while I got this hellhole press secty job for Shrub? Did you like Brother better?"

Now that Carole Keeton McClellan Rylander Strayhorn has remarried (again), do you suppose they'll rename 26th Street to match?



Kika, technically the street is named after her father, former Dean of the UT Law School. But I've always figured it was really named in tribute to Carole K.M.R.S. and if she weren't a powerful politician, UT and the city could've found somebody else to name it after.

http://www.ourcampaigns.com/cgi-bin/r.cgi/CandidateDetail.html?&CandidateID=3464

She is married to Ed Strayhorn, the founder and president of the oldest tennis court construction business in Texas. Mr. Strayhorn also is an accomplished jewelry designer whose works are on display in galleries across America.

They are the proud parents of five grown sons, and proud grandparents of four young granddaughters.

Her son, Scott McClellan is the new White House Press Secretary.

9. Did you catch the take the "media" is giving it?
On MSNBC they felt SORRY! for him. *rollseyes* Then they went on to say that the WH Press Corp could/will be used as the picture perfect example of the "liberal media".

I didn't see it, but after all of the hulaballoo, I wonder how many Press Corp assignees got called onto the red carpet.

11. Ah, the late, unlamented Ron Ziegler...
Mention his name to my mom and watch her blood start to boil... :evilgrin:

The capsule description given of him by Hunter Thompson in Fear and Loathing On the Campaign Trail '72 is classic: "An arrogant punk who treats the press like a bunch of winos who are allowed to hang around as long as they don't disturb the boss."
