Scottie Wants To Be Beamed Up
'Flop Sweat Scottie' has to be Scott McClellan's new nickname based upon his drenching by the previous moribund White House Press Corps the last couple of days over the Karl Rove-Valerie Plame matter. McClellan has dodged and feinted better than Muhammed Ali in his prime but when that failed, he simply went incommunicado--quite a remarkable tactic for the official White House SPOKESPERSON.
Oh so willing to discuss President Bush's official stance about both those who leak information and the Plame exposal in earlier sessions with reporters, McClellan became robotic in his responses and wouldn't discuss this change.
Well, The Cogitator possesses the capability of peering into McClellan's subconscious during his briefing time. Here are our findings:
McClellan: "No, I cannot comment on an ongoing investigation"
subconscious: ...why won't someone ask me a question about boogeyman Howard Dean...
McClellan: "The president wants to see this through..."
subconscious: ...jeez, where is Jeff Gannon when I need him...
McClellan: "No, no...no can do...next"
subconscious: ...holy hell, I'll even take a Halliburton question...
McClellan: "Anything I say about the matter would be inappropriate..."
subconscious: ...damn, Cheney and Rumsfeld are so good at BSing and getting away with it, what's the secret?...
McClellan: "What part of 'no' don't you understand..."
subconscious: ...what's that feeling...jeez, am I becoming incontinent?...
McClellan: "The special prosecutor wouldn't want us taking about his open case..."
subconscious: ...George and Karl are mincing about in the West Wing and I have to stand here and suffer the death of a thousand cuts...
