Scott McClellan Resigns
White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan resigned today to pursue a career as a deer in the wilderness. McClellan stated, "I can now spend my leisure time staring at headlights. It is similar to my experiences when fielding a tough question." Rumors of McClellan's replacement are running rampant throughout Washington, but sources close to The Man have confirmed the front runner here.

I had written a great comment and blogger ate it, ugh.....
ReplyDeleteAnyway I totally agree with your sentiments here. I loved Ari Fleischer but couldn't stand Scott. You are exactly right about him being a deer caught in the headlights and that always irritated me. Jack Bauer would obviously be a dream press secretary but since we can't have him I hope W picks somebody good.
I don't want Jack Bauer as press secretary but, as President!!
ReplyDeleteHave heard the job was offered to Tony Snow but no news on whether he's accepting. I'd love to see him up there, mega experience with the opposition. Jack Bauer needs to go to the middle east...quietly:)
ReplyDeleteLMC - Blogger ate my responses to an earlier post. I responded to 4 people. I was pissed!
ReplyDeleteSsssteve - He's got my vote.
SK - He would be a terrific choice. I've always liked him.
Bauer as Press Secretary = More positive stories about Bush (or else).
ReplyDeleteI think he should be replaced by Jon Lovitz. He could do that "yeah, that's the ticket" line all day long. Might actually make it possible to watch those press conferneces on c-span.
ReplyDelete"weapons of mass destruction? why there, ah,... in IRAN now.. yeah, that's the ticket!"
I like Scott, I think my favorite moment with him was when he finally just got tired of that idiot reporter badgering him with the same question again (that he just answered), about the Cheney shooting, and came back with a quick response of something like "well now it's just about you" to the guy.
ReplyDeleteI was like "yeah scott! turn it around on him! asshat.." hehe
Beyond that little exchange, he was also often quick witted and held his cool amid frequent heavy flak attack volleys from unhinged reporters.
I liked Fleischer, too. Glad to see Scott go, too. I hated watching briefings with him at the helm. While the reporters are way more annoying, Scott seemed like the type of guy to go home and have a good cry over his Ben & Jerry's and whine that nobody liked him....you know that kid from the playground when you were little that always went crying to mommy. He looked close to tears a few times.
ReplyDeleteAs long as people are bringing up replacements...Tony Snow would be awesome, but I think he's really into his family right now isn't he?
I think they should draft Zell Miller!
ReplyDeleteyes! Zell Miller!! I soooo second that!!
ReplyDeleteIt should just be a topless chick with big tits. It would still be the same lies and bullshit, but there would be a topless chick with big tits saying it.
