4. How about...
Looking like a giant chipmunk and babbling incessantly?

This is one of the few public speakers who sounds worse than the president on a regular basis. Having him interpret the deeds of the president is like having one crackhead take notes for another.

5. I'd give an important part of my body if someone in the press corps
would say:"But Scotty, why should we believe you now, you've lied to us before".

11. Would you expect him to tell you the truth? He is a big part of the Bush
propaganda machine.

6. Lying to the Press Corps?
Too funny! That happens all the time, i.e., lying and disinformation from the Executive Branch.

8. What I would like to see,
I would like to see the entire press corps, not show up for Scotty's
press conference.

Sitting, front row center, Hellen Thomas.

Would Scotty turn and run?
Or would he conduct the press conference with only Hellen Thomas asking questions?

13. That's easy. He would hold a press conference and they would splice intape
from a previous press conference.

10. He's not testifying under oath. He can lie at will and does so.

14. It's his job to lie and cover up Jr.'s many mistakes
In fact, the job requires tons of overtime just to think up more lies to cover up the more mistakes.

16. His penalty is that the WH Press Corps thinks he's a joke
not really a big deal and I doubt he cares. There's always his lucrative PR/Lobbyist career to fall back after * leaves office.

20. If the man had any honor, he'd hand in his resignation tomorrow.
Bushco sent him out there with lies. How do you live with yourself when your boss sends you out in front of the world to tell lies?

I worked for a boss that lied pretty consistently. I had to quit, because I couldn't handle it. Guess I have more integrity than our administration.

23. He doesn't see it as lying. Just catapulting the propaganda. To get and
hold power is the ultimate goal and the ends justify the means. I think they honestly believe that the Country would be much better off under the complete control of the cabal.

21. "I'm not going to comment on an on-going presidential meltdown."
Can you imagine coming home to this enabler?

"What do you want for dinner, Scott?"

"It's too soon to be pointing fingers about the choices for dinner."
"Let's get beyond dinner and take care of the impordand work of our house."

22. interestingly, if they were selling stock in company, he could be
If a spokesman knowingly misled the public on matters relating to the value of the stock of their company, they'd go to prison. But politics, and not under oath? He can lie all he wants.
