What will McClellan say about NO Mayor Nagin's comments?

[Kurovski]

I hope the press briefing today is all about the contents of his interview, which was an emotional demand to save people who are dying.

and he minced not one single word.

You can find a transcript here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x4574241

It should be worth tuning in for. I hope the press corp develops some powerful questions that will at last result in some action.

I went to C-Span to see if the briefing is scheduled but came up with nothing. Anyone know when it will occur?

1. "This president understands.. .. This president cares... This

president's heart goes out... This president is...."

He'll do what he always does, make it all about *.

[PDittie]

2. "The Mayor is upset..."

"...it's obvious he needs a nap, just like the President gets, every day."

[Spinzonner]

3. "Not helpful"

[TornadoTN]

4. Not sure

But I heard this morning that Bush will go to New Orleans to deliver some remarks.

I can't see how that will happen, given the state of things on the ground and tremendous clusterfuck that he has put on New Orleans. Those people down there have lived through this (and many are dieing) not seeing any help or aid, and I venture to guess that they know where the problem is.

He's going to defer all questions to Michael Chertoff.

Just like he did yesterday.

[durablend]

5. "He's not seeing the GOOD we're doing"

[LunaSea]

6. same tape loop you all ready heard.

Why bother?

[Kurovski]

10. Have you heard or read the Mayor Nagin interview?

Because that's why I'll be bothering to tune in.

Or read the transcript if I miss the briefing.

[ohioliberal]

7. I applaud Mayor Nagin, he's sure saying it like it is

and he's not backing down, good for him!!!!

[Halliburton]

8. "now's not the time to be playing politics."

[Kurovski]

9. How about if a reporter responds by saying,

"Now is not the time to be playing with people's lives" ?

[Jeanette in FL]

11. Yep, that is the line he kept repeating yesterday

And I am sure that he will be using it today as well. Along with, "There will be plenty of time later to see what could have been done differently". Bastards, all of them.

[Blue_Roses]

13. who gives a rats ass

That was the best thing I've heard out of this whole fiasco. Go Mayor:applause:

[Kurovski]

14. Did you pick the name "Blue_Roses" because of the

Tennessee Williams play, The Glass Menagerie?

Williams and New Orleans had some history together...

[sinkingfeeling]

15. "I've all ready handled that question. We've been over that before."

[Spike from MN]

16. "I can't comment because of the ongoing investigation."

He hasn't used that one for awhile.

[Kurovski]

17. You guys really know Scotty's modus operandi.

I'm impressed.

Anyone here from the WH press corp?

Just send a PM, I won't tell nobody. B-)
