"that I have given it my all, sir."
In the aftermath of numerous botched administration moves, McClellan could barely hold back the barrage of media inquiries, dancing through inquiries and hopelessly getting stuck on his talking points. Earlier last week for example, he used the term 'wild speculation' eight times in one brief verbal sparring session with Helen Thomas over Iran. He was simultaneously praising Rumsfeld as doing "a very fine job" while dancing away from inquiries over a recent front page Washington Post article pinpointing White House lies on Iraqi WMD's that he deemed "reckless". Phew... and that's just a tiny few of his week's statements.
His previous accomplishments are no doubt too many to mention here. I'll just list a few of my favorites.
- Clarified that the Abu Ghraib photos did not represent US policy, and we of course believe in "The Geneva Convention"
- Continually denied & defended the US policy of torturing of political prisoners.
- Sang the praises of Bush's handling of Hurricane Katrina
- Compared decorated war vet Rep Harry Murtha to Michael Moore
- lauded Harriet Miers for her dubious credibility as a potential Supreme Court justice
- Blamed Dick Cheney's shooting accident on the 78 year old victim
- Joked about the same shooting, while he also withholding Whittington's heart attack info from reporters.
"...the protocol was not followed by Mr. Whittington, when it came to notifying the others that he was there."
No doubt some deep pocketed right wing corporate interests have offered the pudgy faced loyal boy a job already. Rumor has it the Bush Admin is looking for a possible photogenic Fox commentator & blowhard like Tony Snow to take McClellan's place at the podium...
Bye Bye Scott...
