3. a few of my favorites:

QUESTION: It’s not my job to have a constructive dialogue, Scott. Sorry.

QUESTION: (OFF-MIKE) why you can’t answer Andy’s question about whether, generally speaking, whether the administration has a credibility problem. I think a lot of people are tuning in wondering, Can we trust what this White House says? Can we trust what Scott McClellan says?

Not talking about the case, can you just address — do you feel like there’s a credibility problem?

7. Guess who was the questioner for this one....?

QUESTION: Has he apologized to you for telling you he was not involved?

MCCLELLAN: I’m not going to get into private discussions.

QUESTION: I mean, he put you on the spot. He put your credibility on the line.

MCCLELLAN: I appreciate you all wanting to move forward and find the facts relating to this investigation. I want to know all the facts relating to the investigation.



That's right, Helen Thomas! :loveya:

5. "investig" comes up with 61, maybe investigators?

6. Once again, Deep Throat causes trouble for the administration....

Anyone think the press would be in full attack mode if Watergate wasn't fresh on their minds, forcing them to remember what real reporters are like?
