Apparently, McClellan’s press conferences aren’t just filled with pathetic attempts at humor, but with his customary blend of arrogance and spite for the American public’s right to have honest access to its leaders:
On whether the press would receive a fuller account of Dick Cheney’s hunting accident: “I think we pretty much covered it all yesterday.”
(Since he brought it up, let’s talk about yesterday’s travashamockery of a press conference. Somehow, the weasel attempted to justify the fact that the White House didn't alert the press corps to the "Red Hot Cheney Pepper" incident; instead, witness to the crime and ranch owner Katherine Armstrong called her local paper in Corpus Christi, TX and passed along the gossip to a health and fitness reporter…I shit you not! Shame on you if you can’t be bothered to read the entire transcript, but here’s a great (and considerably shorter) overview than anything I could have written).
Back to today:
On whether Cheney would be offering any statement himself, even one of regret for the shooting: “You've heard from the vice president's office.”
On the true organizational power structure of the Bush administration:
The New York Times's Elisabeth Bumiller tried to sort out the shooting timeline. Why didn't the vice president call the president?" she pressed. "I don't get it."OK, so I made that last part up. But just how telling is it that McClellan “seemed grateful when Helen Thomas hectored him about Hamas, or when another [reporter] wondered if Bush still has confidence in embattled Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff”? If the administration’s domestic and international incompetencies are a welcome relief for its spokesman, doesn’t that say something about the man and his bosses?
"Karl [Rove] spoke with the vice president," [answered McClellan].
"He's not the president."
“Well not officially, no. But c’mon, guys, we all know the score.”
Gather 'round, America and meet Scott McClellan: Professional Douchebag.

Dude, is there a growing sentiment that our country is going down the tubes due to our nincompoop President and his joke administration?
I hadn't heard. Its a good thing you're here to tell me about it.
Jabs, my favorite thing about reading your written word is the amount of conviction and passion you can muster for the most banal topics. I count on you for more silliness than you're exhibiting over the last week or so.
Not to say that your posts haven't been witty and on-point, it just that every time I hear about Cheney now I have the uncontrollable urge to vomit, and this computer was expensive.
Also, great imagery with CSK rolling out of her casket and down steps. You just can't find that in the mainstream media, even on Fox News.
Lastly, the black dude in the stones is childhood friends with Mike Wilbon of the Washington Post and PTI fame. Wilbon lives to attack racism, and has mentioned his boy on air a number of times, I wonder why he didn't say anything about the institutional racism of British rock royalty.
Keep up the good work, and get your mom to do a weekly column.
I'll call her JABmOm, because I prefer not to learn the real names of others.
One of the many reasons I'm such a gangsta rap aficionado I suppose.
Keep up the good work,

and when i say week or so, i mean a signifacantly shorter period of time.
