McClellan Recuperating From Shark Attack?

Washington - After a week of refusing to answer numerous legitimate
questions about White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove's
involvement in the potentially illegal outing of a CIA agent, and
jokingly comparing those briefings to a shark attack, White House Press
Secretary Scott McClellan has not held a public briefing in two days.

"After three days swimming in the shark-infested waters of the White
House briefing room earlier this week, it looks like McClellan is
'once bitten, twice shy,'" said Democratic National Committee
spokesperson Josh Earnest. "Given his attempts to keep his head above
water this week, it's no surprise he's unwilling to take a
proverbial dip in the White House traveling press 'pool.'"

The last time the White House went two weekdays in a row without a
gaggle or briefing was more than 3 months ago - while President Bush was
in Rome attending the Pope's funeral.

1. Scottie is such a fucking wimp

As Jack said "You can't handle the truth!":bounce:

2. Hiding out, hoping it all blows over

And considering the ease with which the presstitutes on the White House beat can be distracted, that may not be a bad bet. Again. Snottie will come back Monday morning, all energized from his extended weekend, and declare any further questions about Rove to be "old news" or "we've already addressed that (by not addressing it)."

Have the presstitutes indeed gotten up off their matresses, or will they resume their prone position while Snottie resumes blowing smoke up their asses? Time will tell . . .
