Okay ... link to MSNBC's headline ... no story yet.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/

[No DUplicitous DUpe]

1. Bye Bye Scotty...Good move.

Get a good lawyer, scott.

[Mugsy]

114. Did Scotty finally develop a conscience?

If the man had any sense of decency, he would have resigned in protest years ago.

[zann725]

174. Think he FINALLY realized he's on a sinking ship, perjuring himself daily

And he would NOT look good in orange. And how much MORE can the poor Scotty "puff up?" With the "wabbit hole" spinning so badly, didn't know which end was up.

[Sub Atomic]

2. More time with the family?

Anyone seen Jimmy Jeff hanging around?

[central scrutinizer]

68. Did anybody ask his family if

they even want him to spend more time at home. His family probably prefers that the smarmy asshole be away as much as possible.

[Mokito]

113. BREAKING NEWS

Scott McLellan's family resigned...want to spend less time with '...err...that thing (sic).'

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

3. Don't let the door hit you in the ass, you puffy ass bastard. n/t

[deutsey]

4. Bush's remarks broadcasting on Stephanie Miller now.

[deutsey]

10. Oh, and by the way:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

11. Lol

"And IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII...."

[seaglass]

5. MSNBC - Press Secty Mike McClellan resigned - did you

see that on the crawl...what idiots.:rofl:

[Catchawave]

23. Yes ! LOL....

It wasn't crawling when I saw it, "Mike" was printed big and bold under their BREAKING NEWS flash box :)

[seaglass]

26. Yes, that's what I saw. Not a crawl. Maybe they should have

stuck with just his last name if they didn't know his first.:rofl:

[Catchawave]

172. Wasn't "Mike" from the Clinton era ?

I believe he was a Mc-something too ? LOL, a subliminal message perhaps?

[Catherine Vincent]

46. Were they thinking about Mike McCurry?

LOL!

[kcass1954]

107. Ironically, Mike McClellan is Snotty's cousin. I used to work with him,

and didn't know that until after he transferred to another location.

[wordpix]

109. hahaha, LOL

[WhiteTara]

156. how funny! Couldn't even get his name right

when he's being kicked to the curb. Another insult to the little fat pig...how's that marriage, Snotty? Jeff Gannon will want to know.
:rofl: buh bye fool.

[The Witch]

6. PLEASE GOD LET HIM SPILL HIS GUTS!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[AllegroRondo]

14. We can only hope

My wish is for him to hit the talk shows and tell what really went on.

[bdamomma]

76. him and Ari

will get together and compare notes.

[NashVegas]

7. Ho Ho Ho Hee Hee Hee

Guy's got the toughest job in the world.

[Boxerfan]

8. BuhBY!!

Pudgy Moon face liar....Take a nice long walk on a short pier!

[rocktivity]

9. Stephanie Miller just announced it

George is saying he has a tough job, but he's accepting Scottie's decision.

Poor Stephanie. First she lost Drunky McPuke-Shows, now Puffy McMoonface.

:headbang:
rocknation

[seaglass]

I thought Bush was the decider, why is he accepting someone

else's decision...:rofl:

[William Seger]

40. That's right

* is the decider, 'cause he's the leaderer, and decidin' is what leaderers do, ya see. So * must have resignated Scotty.

[kestrel91316]

122. Boy, you hit the nail on the head! LOL

[0007]

29. Why didn't junior take Rumsfeld resignation?

Guess dickie didn't like the press beating up Scotty everyday, huh?

[ronnykmarshall]

59. I'm sure someone will come along to replace them.

I do miss ol' Drunky McPuke Shoes' reports from Barfy's Bar & Grill.

Maybe Rep Squeezy McFeel Pants will take over for Puffy.

How about Kay Bailey Hutchinson the senior citizen, senior SENATOR of Texas?

[Jane Austin]

99. She's lost Squeezy McFeelpants, too.

Al Edwards, the real-life Texas legislator behind the law to regulate suggestive cheerleading, was defeated last week in his Primary for re-election.

Anybody see a trend here?

[rocktivity]

186. He lost his primary?

That means he lost the seat to another DEMOCRAT, right? Thank you, Jon Stewart?

:headbang:
rocknation

[Jane Austin]

190. That's right.

Boris Miles wins - all precincts reporting.
Edwards - 46.46%; 2,679 votes
Miles - 53.54%; 3,087 votes

[borlis]

118. I love your avatar Rocknation!!!

Have A Nice Day!!!:hi:

[AngryAmish]

12. This is a distraction

[rpannier]

13. Stephanie Miller just reported it

They played scrubbies live announcement.

[Catchawave]

15. "to spend more time with his family"

:rofl:

Didn't name a replacement ? Or did I miss it?

[YDogg]

108. So he's going home to live in his mom's basement?

[DrDan]

16. in the old days, "resigned" used to be a voluntary move

why do I not think this was entirely Scotty's decision

[mcscajun]

35. Probably not entirely his...Bolten did say "anyone who's thinking

of leaving later, please leave now." or words to that effect.

[DrDan]

98. the key word is "thinking"

"scheming" would be more appropriate with this bunch

[bdamomma]

79. they gave him an offer

that he couldn't refuse.

[maddiejoan]

17. If Tony Snow replaces him..

Does that mean we should be ready for a real "snow-job"?

[KnaveRupe]

18. They're talking on Steph that replacement will be Tony Snow n/t

[Stinky The Clown]

I don't think they'll do a FauxNewzer ......

Way to easy to attack the credibility.

I think it'll be an unknown from the inside. Some third tier turd.

[japple]

105. ....third tier turd...

Have you tried saying that 3 times real fast? I can't. Bet it would really tie *'s tongue.

[wordpix]

111. How about Shit Fume (Brit Hume). He's already on *'s payroll by the way

he talks.

[unblock]

19. gee, couldn't see that one coming. as if it matters!

naturally, the shrubbies see their problem as an IMAGE problem only. they're perfectly brilliant at running the country, of course, so if popularity is low, it must be that they're simply not getting the right message out.

so sacking the guy in charge of getting the message out is pretty obvious.


but does anyone think he'll be replaced with anyone other than another smarmy liar?

maybe this one will be female and/or hispanic or maybe just a different voice will distract us.


but we all KNOW the replacement will be a liar, so it really makes no difference.

[City Lights]

20. Good riddance to an arrogant POS.

The sight of his beady-eyed, grinning face turns my stomach.

[Greeby]

102. Sorry about Watson, btw

I lost my Whiskers not long afterwards :hug:

[City Lights]

150. Thanks, Greeby.

:hug: Sorry about Whiskers. :cry:

[Bassic]

21. Cya Puffy

And congratulations on that impordent decision. I hope you can move forward with your life, and try not to get gaught up in more ongoing investigations.

Good riddance you sack of shit.

[Stinky The Clown]

27. "Impordent"

hahahahahahaha

That always bothered me, too.

[WhiteTara]

158. and his haf a willion jobs n/t

[chat_noir]

22. yesterday at gambling.com:

Oddsmakers have Press Spokesman Scott McClellan replaced by end of month

A number of top White House aids positions are in jeopardy as reported by Gambling911.com yesterday. Among those appearing to be on the chopping block are Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Treasury Secretary John Snow and Press Spokesman Scotty McClellan.

http://www.gambling911.com/041806Enews.html

one down...

[katinmn]

24. They need to replace him with a more convincing liar

[LisaLynne]

32. Just what I was thinking.

Snotty was getting too flustered. They need a smoooooth liar.

[tocqueville]

96. Baghdad Bob is available... nt

[Radio_Guy]

170. Bush will hire someone just like Baghdad Bob

One that tows the party line no matter what evidence there is to the contrary.

"No, the Democrats are not taking the House and Senate" he said as we take back the seats in droves.

[dchill]

171. He HAS to hire someone just like him...

We can't have a press secretary actually telling the truth, now can we? How would anything ever get done? I just wonder who the next smarmy, piece-of-shit prevaricator will be...

[PassingFair]

180. I hear Chalibi's looking for work. ... n/t

[Dulcinea]

103. I'm surprised he lasted this long.

He looks like he's about to crack up more with each passing day.

[UpInArms]

[NMDemDist2]

30. ROFL

Mr K says "I'm sure it's just so he can spend more time lying to his family."


:rofl:

[renate]

127. I'll second that ROFL

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[ContraBass Black]

31. Did he jump,

Or was he pushed? :evilgrin:

[ChairmanAgnostic]

36. Recall that Indiana Jones scene with the big rolling rock? same thing.

Not so much a push as three armed guards showing up and saying, "don't waste time packing. We'll do that for you."
is my guess.

[Boomer]

93. I vote "pushed"

If he had the sense to jump, he would have done it before now.

[DWilliamsamh]

33. Did he finally vomit while lying to the American People?

Or did he get a spine and some integrity thereby making himself unqualified to serve in the Bush White House?

[AlecBGreen]

45. hi DWill

welcome to DU! :hi: :toast: :party:

[KnaveRupe]

34. The PERFECT replacement for Scotty......

..... BAGHDAD BOB!!!!



Wonder if he's available?

[OKNancy]

37. LOL

:rofl:

[muriel_volestrangler]

42. The other replacements - they are nowhere. They are on the moon! (n/t)

[VP505]

67. Oh what

a great idea, Bob would be the perfect replacement, LOL.

[cascadiance]

123. Or another cheerleader Bush's known for a long time...

Perhaps one of these guys...

[paparush]

125. Zee Prezident's Approval Rating is 5789%. Moaning Hoards of Virgins

await El Bush** in paradise. Disbelievers will will impale themselves on the husks of burned out HumVees just to stand in the shadow of the Great One.

[acmavm]

38. Oh what, couldn't take the heat? I know it's not an aversion

to lying.

[Roland99]

39. Effective IMMEDIATELY?!?!?!?

[Canuckistanian]

41. We knew it was coming, but

:party: :woohoo: :hi: :bounce: :evilgrin: :nopity:

:hurts: Buh-bye, Snotty!

I know, I know, he'll just be replaced by another soulless 'droid, but for him to resign NOW is good news. The wheels are truly falling off this bus of death!

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[soup]

62. yep. Cue the music - The wheels on the bus go flat flap flap

flat flap flap
flat flap flap
The wheels on the bus go flat flap flap all around the town.

The driver on the bus goes 'move on out'
The people on the bus go 'what the f@#k?'

etc. etc.

[Canuckistanian]

80. LOL

[H3Dakota]

43. AP's link

McClellan Leaves White House Press Office

[drm604]

69. Your AP link also contains what may be a bigger story.

"Also, a senior administration official revealed another move in the ongoing shakeup of Bush's staff, saying that longtime confidant and adviser Karl Rove is giving up oversight of policy development to focus more on politics with the approach of the fall midterm elections."

Could we actually see some separation of policy and politics? Naaahhh, that's too good to be true.

[Flying Dream Blues]

44. Parting words: Eloquent as always...

“I have given it my all sir and I have given you my all sir, and I will continue to do so as we transition to a new press secretary.”
--Scotty McLellan

[katinmn]

49. Is this for real?? Give that man a kleenex

:puke:

He needs to wipe the poop off his nose!

[donheld]

184. A Kleenex will never do

He'll need a case of Clorox wipes just to get a good start at getting the brown off that honker.

[bdamomma]

82. he has given bush his all?????

geez is that disgusting or what. bowing to the decider.:puke:

[OldLeftieLawyer]

47. Whaaaaaaaaaaaa?????

I just woke up - first time in weeks I sleep late - and THIS HAPPENED?

Why?

What does this mean?

I need educating, folks. Any help would be appreciated. I'm just trying to sip coffee here, and it's not easy.

[Patsy Stone]

128. Sweetie, didn't you get the memo?

No sleep 'til 2008! :)

[cal04]

48. McClellan Leaves White House Rove Leaves Policy Post

(snip)
Appearing with Bush on the White House South Lawn just before the president boarded a helicopter at the start a trip to Alabama, McClellan, who has parried especially fiercefully with reporters on Iraq and on intelligence issues, told Bush: "I have given it my all sir and I have given you my all sir, and I will continue to do so as we transition to a new press secretary."

Bush said McClellan had "a challenging assignment." "I thought he handled his assignment with class, integrity," the president said. "It's going to be hard to replace Scott, but nevertheless he made the decision and I accepted it. One of these days, he and I are going to be rocking in chairs in Texas and talking about the good old days."

Just over a year ago, Rove was promoted to deputy chief of staff in charge of most White House policy coordination. That new portfolio came on top of his title as senior adviser and role of chief policy aide to Bush. But now, the job of deputy chief of staff for policy is being given to Joel Kaplan, now the White House's deputy budget director, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the president had not yet made the announcement.

The move signals a possibly broad effort to rearrange and reinvigorate Bush's staff by new chief of staff Joshua Bolten. Bolten moved into his position last week; Kaplan was his No. 2 person at the Office of Management and Budget. At least for the time being, the promotion of Kaplan would leave Bush with three deputy chiefs of staff: Rove, Kaplan and Joe Hagin, who oversees administrative matters, intelligence and other national security issues.

[Roland99]

53. "rocking in chairs in Texas and talking about the good old days."

Yeah...those good ol' days of raping Americans, kiss corporations' asses, killing tens of thousands of innocents, furthering the defamation of Christianity, lying, spying, etc.


Good ol' days!

[bdamomma]

85. what a sick comment

from the man who hears voices in his head.

[tanyev]

173. Is that before or after he sits with Trent Lott on his new front porch?

George W. Bush, Relaxer-in-Chief.

[xxqqqzme]

154. I picture them in side by side cells.

[Kolesar]

50. Was he becoming ineffective in that he started to tell the truth?

As NPR On the Media referred to Ari Fleischer when he departed?

[zulchzulu]

51. Puffy McMoonface hopefully writes a tell-all book

I'd be glad to help him out with dictation.

[RedG1]

52. Snotty McClellan resigns...

White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten said "We decided to replace Scott with a talking doll that will play a recorded message. During question time the reporters can pull a string and the doll will randomly play one of Scott's stock answers. Besides saving costs, the doll will be better looking." <giggle>

[warrens]

54. Rove, McLellan, Card????

Those are the three people closest to Smirky. He's making delicate adjustments with a meat axe.

[atomic-fly]

55. bye bye dough boy!

[ronnykmarshall]

56. Bye-bye Puffy McMoon Face!!

Miss ya already!

[melissinha]

57. I've got news for you, this is bad news

This means something is afoot. When the rats get backed into the corner, they make stupid foolish decisions.... just wait, Bush will do something monumentally foolish and dangerous......

OR its for mommy's doomed run at the Governor's mansion here in Austin.

[proud2BlibKansan]

100. But they have been making stupid foolish decisions

all along. So what is different now? :)

[melissinha]

131. Cause they are NOW in a corner

and talking about nuclear options.

[Canuckistanian]

58. Story up now:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12387465/from/RS.2/

[BlueInPhilly]

64. Instead of rocking in chairs...

what about hanging in their prison cells, talking about the "good ol' days..."

[Canuckistanian]

78. Somehow, I don't picture that myself

I think these guys WILL end up behind bars.

It may take a decade or so, but I don't think the American public really know the full extent of what's happening here.

[dweller]

60. he's run out of lies.

or else the spin cycle is done, and he's gonna be hung out to dry.

good riddance Sharkbait.
dp

[lonestarnot]

61. So much for the Great Decider.... OZ is crumbling.

[rasputin1952]

63. Also on CNN

http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/04/19/bushshakeup.ap/index.html

[skypilot]

65. "I have given it my all..."

Yeah. You would HAVE to, wouldn't you? Not an easy bunch to spin for.

[Roland99]

73. Reminds me of those Nazis in The Blues Brothers >>>>

"I have always loved you, sir."


:rofl:

[Demeter]

66. And The Shit Hitteth the Fan!

This is going to be our lucky week! And they say April is the cruelest month....

[BlueInPhilly]

70. One can only lie so many times

before they implode.

[underpants]

71. CNN:Wants to spend more time with his sippy cup

[Carni]

110. OMG LOL That pic is friggin hilarious! eom

[MadJohnShaft]

72. He did seem to wave bye more than usual after the briefing yesterday

[Bigmack]

74. I DO hope that poor man gets another job....

... cleaning colonoscopes, maybe. Or gutting chickens. Something equal to his talents and appropriate for his resume.

[bdamomma]

75. simple scotty

http://cbs5.com/nationalpolitics/politicsnational_story_109093320.html

read this, we have a sick man in office don't we?? The good old days? what a sick sick man.


"I thought he handled his assignment with class, integrity," the president said. "It's going to be hard to replace Scott, but nevertheless he made the decision and I accepted it. One of these days, he and I are going to be rocking in chairs in Texas and talking about the good old days."

[QuettaKid]

81. "One of these days. . . ."

rocking chairs my ass...one of these days you'll be seeing the inside of a cell in the Hague.

[bdamomma]

88. the ignorance of the decider

is unbelieveable, he takes no blame for anything. He is hoping to come out of office sprinting yea, he will be sprinting alright.

[laundry_queen]

94. Geez.

"I thought he handled his assignment with class, integrity," the president said. "It's going to be hard to replace Scott, but nevertheless he made the decision and I accepted it.
I thought HE was the decider? Flip flop!

One of these days, he and I are going to be rocking in chairs in Texas and talking about the good old days."
That might happen sooner than you think, Georgie porgie!

[AndyP]

77. Don't let the screen door hit you on the ass on the way out

Although he should get a nomination for hardest fricken job on earth. I mean it can't be easy to cover up Bush's mess on a daily basis.

[MissMillie]

83. Hurl alert!

"...One of these days, he and I are going to be rocking in chairs in Texas and talking about the good old days."

:puke:

[lovuian]

84. His credibility was gone...

Guess Bolton is putting in a new batch of flunkies...

Scotty goes down as one of the worst press secretaries...

[connecticut yankee]

86. Here's the link from The New York Times

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/19/washington/19cnd-resign.html?hp&ex=1145505600&en=53aa51bcc89925b5&ei=5094&partner=homepage

[The Wizard]

87. Another rat

Abandons the sinking ship.

[E-Z-B]

89. I bet David Gregory is cracking open a beer right now...

:toast:

[tonekat]

90. Now they have to search for someone just as obsequious

as Scottie and Ari. Creepy to think there are more people like that in the gene pool.

"Wanted: Press Secretary. Total contempt for the truth required. Ability to grovel on command a plus. Minimum emissions of flop sweat when caught lying."

[LibDemAlways]

121. One of the local media whores here in L.A. actually

said on air "The WH will now have to try to replace McClellean...uh...er...I meant to say they will replace McClellan." I got the clear implication that this would be a thankless job no one but the most seriously kool-aid addicted ass-kisser would take on.

[Pharlo]

191. Reminds me of "Heck of a Job" Brownie.....

This administration may have to implement a draft for the sole purpose of filling key administrative positions.

[PassingFair]

181. Maybe they will "outsource it" ...

...some unknown Indian guy with a blue curtain behind
him...pretending to not understand the reporter's questions.!

:rofl:

[Ian David]

91. No no no! We Love The American Information Minister!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=106x27689

Scotty was the only one in The White House I actually enjoyed watching on TV.

[AngryOldDem]

92. Guess he took his own advice....

...about getting out while the getting is good.

Buh-bye.

[Tommyboy_2006]

95. Talking about the good ole days

Bush said McClellan had "a challenging assignment."
"I thought he handled his assignment with class, integrity," the president said. "It's going to be hard to replace Scott, but nevertheless he made the decision and I accepted it. One of these days, he and I are going to be rocking in chairs in Texas and talking about the good old days."


I can see it now...."Say Scotty...remember back at the beginning of "The Great Mistake"....the mistake that started the cascading mistakes that followed? Whew! Now that was a mistake!!!". "Yes sir Mr. President, that was quite a screw up you made. Funny how you really didn't get visions from God, but that the cocaine residues left in your body could still influence you decision and speaking ability. I can't believe the American public took so long to realize that.". Laughter....

[jasop]

117. Nothing in the BushCo Regime has ever been a mistake.

All of this has been well planned and orchastrated. They wanted huge corporate profits, a theocratic military complex, and new "cold war". They did what they want and they are all more powerful and richer than ever before and even if they all are allowed to resign it is a sick world we live in that these horrible people get to just leave public office with more power and money than the kings and "royalties" we founded this country to escape from. I think when this becomes understood maybe something more than just letting these peckers get away will be possible.

[Divernan]

120. "I'd sit in my rockin' chair peacefully rockin there."

“I thought he handled his assignment with class, integrity,” the president said. “It’s going to be hard to replace Scott, but nevertheless he made the decision and I accepted it. One of these days, he and I are going to be rocking in chairs in Texas and talking about the good old days.”



Everything old is new again. Read these lyrics, or sing them if you know the tune.


Damn Yankees Lyrics

Those Were the Good Old Days Lyrics



Whenever I'm from time to time depressed
And a trauma wells and swells
Within my breast
I find some pride deep inside of me
And I fondly walk down the lane of memory
I see Bonaparte
A mean one if ever I've seen one
And Nero fiddlin' thru that lovely blaze
Antionetts, dainty queen, with her quaint guillotine
Ha ha ha ha
Those were the good old days

I see Indians draggin'
An empty covered wagon
When scalping the settlers was the latest craze
And that glorious morn, Jack the Ripper was born
Ha ha ha ha
Those were the good old days

I'd sit in my rockin' chair peacefully rockin' there
Counting my blessings by the score
The rack was in fashion, the plagues were my passion
Each day held a new joy in store

Was anybody happy?

I see cannibals munchin' a missionary luncheon
The years may have flown but the memory stays
Like the hopes that were dashed when the stock market crashed
Ha ha ha ha
Those were the good old days

I'd walk a million miles or more
For some of the gore
Of those good
Old
Days!

[Bushies gotta go]

97. Rocking chairs in TX

"One of these days, he and I are going to be rocking in chairs in Texas and talking about the good old days.”

Hopefully in the Federal prison in Seagoville.

[Patsy Stone]

101. Tired of swigging Mylanta like water

McClellan resigns to spend time lying to members of his own family.

[bleever]

193. LOL.

You coulda had a career...

[bluestateguy]

104. Eventually people get tired of being paid to lie for a living

which is what White House Press secretaries do for this president.

[4_TN_TITANS]

106. Run, Scotty, run......

before you get nailed in the coffin with this bunch. I simply cannot comprehend how the weasel could step in front of the press daily to represent this MisAdministration.

Maybe we'll get someone who can actually answer a question? Not....

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Tight_rope]

112. The White House Liar is leaving...LMBAO...this is a wonderful year!

[wordpix]

115. Ultimately it doesn't matter. Next PR spinmeister will be like last

As long as BushCo policies remain in "stay the incompetence course" mode & * has no intention of hearing from different pts. of view, whoever fills whatever post will be just like last.

[madrchsod]

116. so who is going to take the worse job in the world?

lying for the bush has to be the worse job in the world and one only a fool would accept.

[rateyes]

119. The rat is jumping off AF-1...

wearing a "golden parchute" is my bet. There ARE ways to buy someone's silence.

[adarling]

124. well this is wonderful but no more "Snotty Scotty" briefings

it was fun to watch helen and david rip him to shreds all the time :)

[MellowOne]

126. Lying gets old

He must have gotten tired of covering *'s azz!

[samhsarah]

129. Buh bye, Quackie.

So sorry to see you go.

[orleans]

130. Mike Malloy said he'd be gone within ten days

(and he said it last week--from what i remember)

132. Scott McClelland Resigns as WH Press Secretary (UPDATE)

McClellan Resigns Post as White House Spokesman (Update3)

April 19 (Bloomberg) -- White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan announced his resignation, the latest personnel change in a Bush administration struggling to find its footing in the face of political setbacks and declining public approval ratings.

Karl Rove, Bush's deputy chief of staff and his top political adviser also is shifting roles, the Associated Press and CNN reported, citing unnamed administration officials.

Rove is giving up the job of policy coordinator and will focus on political strategy, while keeping his title as deputy chief of staff, AP reported. Joel Kaplan, the No. 2 person at the Office of Management and Budget, will become deputy chief of staff for policy, according to CNN.

McClellan, the public face of the administration for almost three years, said he told President George W. Bush that the White House staff was ``in transition'' and that it was time for him to depart. ``I've given you my all,'' he told Bush as they shook hands in front of a crowd of reporters at the White House.

I nominate Helen Thomas for White House Press Secretary. Or Jon Stewart. Or Keith Olbermann.

But "Give em' Hell-en. Just give em' the truth and they'll THINK it's hell," Helen Thomas is choice number one.

[xultar]

133. He gave his all until he just had shit left then he gave shit.

[rodeodance]

135. Norah O'Donnell just said he was well liked by the press! msnbc

[Roland99]

138. The "White Ho" said that?

:rofl:

[jojo54]

141. Excellent Roland 99!!!!!!

This time, ROTFLMFAO doesn't do you justice.

[Roland99]

145. How about some pics to go with that laugh!

[Orrex]

137. And then on his second day on the job...

[xultar]

140. ...

:spray:

[TankLV]

160. Which occured after his first 15 minutes on the job years ago.

[rodeodance]

134. its all about changing the face/image of the WH (not mentality)

[asjr]

136. The play will not change-just different

actors.

[Fridays Child]

139. But Scotty fit his role so well...

He was the worst liar ever for the worst president ever. How will anyone ever top Scotty's excruciatingly dismal performance?

[gmoney]

143. Two words.... Karen Hughes

I figure it will be one of the six people that Bush knows, OR it will be a disabled minority woman, to make the press even LESS likely to be aggressive. "Asking that follow up question shows a great deal of insensitivity to the disabled, women, and minorities."

[acmejack]

144. Very possibly.

She's a natural for that position, it's what she is best at. It would make for some really interesting press conferences too! I mean that woman is seriously full of shit, even when judged by the notoriously lenient Texas standards!

[Scairp]

148. God help us

At least she can tap dance better than Scotty-boy when the tough questions come.

[Ian David]

142. Think Scotty will write a "Mommy Dearest" book? n/t

[noonwitch]

146. He probably couldn't stand the lies anymore

Maybe he is one of those genuinely decent people caught up in something bigger than he thought it was.

Poor guy-Ari was such a better liar than he. I didn't hate Scott McClellan, which tells you he was likely the wrong man for the job.

[onager]

147. Good riddance, you smug, annoying bastard.

Now get the brown surgically removed from your nose and cash in as a Faux News "commentator."

I'm currently in Egypt on a long-term work assignment, so I only have to see Snotty occasionally on foreign newscasts. Which are usually laughing at him and his boss.

He never quite achieved the greasy, arrogant loathsomeness of Airhead Fleischer, but he came close.

Not that it matters much, but it's a tossup as to which one was worse to look at. I always thought Snotty looked like the bastard offspring of Joe McCarthy and Ms. J. Edgar Hoover.

[deadparrot]

149. Another one bites the dust...

:toast:

I wonder what sorry schmuck is gonna get stuck with the gig next.

[longship]

151. Buh-Bye, Scotty-Lube.

He can't issue a statement about *why* he is leaving for reasons of national security.
Or, is it an ongoing investigation.
Or, maybe he'll just equivocate about it.

[opihimoimoi]

152. He got FIRED, 86'd, Bumped, Let go, Kicked out, etc

They gonna bring in Karen Baby....

[Bridget Burke]

157. "with the horse he rode in on"....

Bye Bye...

[Dunvegan]

182. Or with "the whores he rode in on...."

[Greeby]

153. I can't seem to find 12th Harmonic anymore

I was hoping to repost the link to Scotty The Duck

Altogether now:
Sieg Heil! Quack! Quack!
I'm the White House Chief Hack!
You'll never pin me down!
Jeff Gannon, on the other hand.......... :think:

Press Secretary Scott McClellan Announces His Resignation
South Lawn

9:39 A.M. EDT

MR. McCLELLAN: Good morning, everybody. I am here to announce that I will be resigning as White House Press Secretary.

Mr. President, it has been an extraordinary honor and privilege to have served you for more than seven years now, the last two years and nine months as your Press Secretary.

The White House is going through a period of transition; change can be helpful, and this is a good time and good position to help bring about change. I am ready to move on. I've been in this position a long time, and my wife and I are excited about beginning the next chapter in our life together.

You have accomplished a lot over the last several years with this team, and I have been honored and grateful to be a small part of a terrific and talented team of really good people.

Our relationship began back in Texas, and I look forward to continuing it, particularly when we are both back in Texas.

THE PRESIDENT: That's right. (Laughter.)

MR. McCLELLAN: Although, I hope to get there before you. (Laughter.)

I have given it my all, sir, and I've given you my all. And I will continue to do so as we transition to a new Press Secretary over the next two to three weeks. Thank you for the opportunity.

THE PRESIDENT: First of all, I thank Scott for his service to our country. I don't know whether or not the press corps realizes this, but his is a challenging assignment dealing with you all on a regular basis. And I thought he handled his assignment with class, integrity. He really represents the best of his family, our state and our country. It's going to be hard to replace Scott. But, nevertheless, he's made the decision and I accept it.

One of these days he and I are going to be rocking on chairs in Texas, talking about the good old days and his time as the Press Secretary. And I can assure you I will feel the same way then that I feel now, that I can say to Scott, job well done.

MR. McCLELLAN: Thank you, sir.

END 9:41 A.M. EDT


:rofl::rofl::rofl:

[BigDDem]

162. Can someone fill me in as to

when those "good old days" were under Cheney/Bush?

[cboy4]

163. They should hire Zell "I need psychological help" Miller to

take his place...

During every press briefing, he'd challenge reporters to a duel. :eyes:

I'd watch that!

[alarcojon]

164. Bye Bye Scotty

So sorry to see you go.....NOT!

[mvd]

165. Good - another sign of trouble

Though I was happier when Ari Fleisher resigned. Ari was really good at his lies and spin. I hope all the media isn't portraying McClellan leaving as part of a reinvigoration effort - I mean, :puke:.

[cosmicdot]

166. take brother Mark with ya

who has been Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services since c. March 25, 2004

Leave No (crony) McClellan Behind (in Washington doing damage)

[sofa king]

167. Did Scottie dismiss rumors of his resignation as "Washington babble"?

Members of the White House Iraq Group today:

Andy Card: resigned

Karl Rove: preparing for resignation by exiting his position as policy advisor.

Karen Hughes: promoted to deputy Secretary of State; currently in South America arranging cocaine shipments

Mary Matalin: resigned; recently called Card replacement Josh Bolten a "raging success"

James Wilkinson: promoted to deputy national security advisor for communications

Nicholas Calio: Apparently, he never had an official position within the White House. He has since returned to his position as Senior Vice President for Government Affairs at Citigroup, called by some the largest money laundering operation in the world

Condoleezza Rice: promoted to Secretary of State

Stephen Hadley: almost certainly a major source of information for Special Investigator Fitzgerald; also a likely important source for Bob Woodward, judging by the efforts to which Woodward has gone to protect Hadley.

Scooter Libby: indicted and resigned.

[pinniped]

168. Damm, just when he had that serious look down cold.

Lying sack-o-$hit.

Burn in hell.

[fshrink]

169. 500 to go.

[Rex]

175. Scott was nothing but a small lump of shit compared to Ari.

Now there was a liar! I miss Baghdad Ari.

[Blue_Tires]

192. yeah, somewhere ari must be laughing

[LeftistGorilla]

176. His head was going to explode...

[Felix Mala]

177. Corporations take note: Skilled preveracator available for any occasion!

Can parse lies better than anyone in the nation... Let Scottie lie for you...
Of course, his momma is running for office.

[Thor_MN]

178. Is he shopping his res to Isuzu? He's a natural for a Joe Isuzu redux.

David Leisure could play his dad and Snotty could be Joe, Jr.

[BrightKnight]

179. When does the new temp start? -- n/t

[donheld]

183. I'm sure Helen Thomas is shedding bitter tears

NOT!

[suegeo]

185. Did AFLAC insurance call?

Did AFLAC insurance call and make Scott an offer?

[ShortnFiery]

188. Yes, Get the AFLAC duck! Perfect :-) eom

quack! quack!

[ShortnFiery]

187. Nope you got it all wrong ...

Chimpy whispered to Brit Hume that the man was *resignated.* :P

[tabasco]

189. Helen Thomas ran his dumb ass outta town!!

Victory for Helen!!
