What's more, our man in the WH Scott McClellan is taking it in the nads today in the
press briefing about the matter. When the press essentially calls you a liar right to your face at a press conference, I'd say the media has found something of a backbone, at least for a day.
- QUESTION: Scott, this is ridiculous. The notion that you’re going to stand before us, after having commented with that level of detail, and tell people watching this that somehow you’ve decided not to talk.
You’ve got a public record out there. Do you stand by your remarks from that podium or not?
...
MCCLELLAN: If you’ll let me finish.
QUESTION: No, you’re not finishing. You’re not saying anything.
You stood at that podium and said that Karl Rove was not involved. And now we find out that he spoke about Joseph Wilson’s wife. So don’t you owe the American public a fuller explanation. Was he involved or was he not? Because contrary to what you told the American people, he did indeed talk about his wife, didn’t he?
Where, oh where are the strong arms and soothing questions of Jeff Gannon when we truly need him?
Be strong, Scott. Red Nation is praying for you.
