Scotty McClellan sure got up on the wrong side of the bed today. He
is attacking every single reporter that asks a question. The media is lying, spinning, and irresponsible. Well, they've blamed everyone else. What's left for them but the media.

The problem is, they think the American People are Stupid. Well, I have to agree. The 50% or so that agree with Bush are stupid; however, we Dems tend to dig for information. Like reading foreign news sites, verifying information that Scotty nor his bosses will let out that Afghanistan is right back under Taliban control except in Kabul. The troops protect Kabul so when dignitaries come in, they can set up scenarios of schools, women on the streets not covered, etc. Kind of like they set up the pull the Saddam statue down and act like we are so happy the Americans have come to save us. Our friends, the Christians who love the Jews have come here in peace and not to take our oil.

What-ever :rant: :sarcasm:

1. It must be getting tough for him to keep spinning the bull shit.
Every day he has to get up in front of a media that is finally asking questions and the wheels are coming off the bus. Snotty Scotty is the one who is the first line of spin for the regime.

2. Well, it looks like only 30% still agree with Stupid, and most of them
are probably responding to name recognition, not knowledge of what the asshole has been up to. Like it or not, ignorant morons will always be with us and they'll always be proud uvvit.

I honestly didn't think McClellan would last this long. I expected him to need more time with his family once Stupid had stolen the office again. I suppose he's still there because no willing replacement can be found, Gannon/Guckert being outed by all those mean old left wing bloggers.

The stress of telling so many lies is really showing. I don't think he'll last much longer, replacement or not.

3. You're probably right on them not being able to find a replacement.
I heard several reports that they asked 5 or 6 people to head the DHS before they found ONE that was willing to accept!

6. The "ignorant"
Near 30% of US adults are still illiterate! the fact, also, is that some radical religious are not supposed to read any newspapers of magazines or even own a TV! Much more than 30% of eligible voters have never seen a ballot or voting machine. Many of those, received some type of gift for allowing themselves to be escorted to the polls, a couple of years back, to play with new (to them) diabold equipment! Another portion of the population can only "follow" and always do what they are told by military and industrial supervisors!
It is sad that these people are not true Americans in the sense that they are supposed to be "free" in this nation as long as it remains a democracy! (Which isn't for long at the daily rate!)

5. Isn't it time for McClellan to resign?
He'd be happier and we'd be happier also.

9. He has Plans to Help His Mother's Campaign in Texas...
Scotty's days "are numbered" precisely because he's got a very hot gig in his future that will pay off big dividends in the World of Texas politics...

8. He calls every negative story about Bush "irresponsible".
Now, one thing for sure. McClellan and the rest of the Bush Fascist Party in control of the White House since the bloodless coup of 2000, should know "irresponsible" when they see it. I mean, they are the kings and queens of "irresponsible" propaganda.

But, it seems that they want to make it look like that the ONLY RESPONSIBLE people in the country are Bush and his minions.

Of course, for a while, that worked for Adolf Hitler and Josef Goebbels!

10. Yeah, it's so much easier when the press is supine
Begging for scraps, instead of asking pointed questions about hard facts. Scott and his predecessor Ari were terrific at playing the press for a bunch of chumps. The only folks in the room who didn't routinely play along were Helen Thomas, David Gregory and Terry Moran. The second half of the old adage "Never give a sucker an even break" is "and never smarten up a chump." It's not so much a rule so that you can keep fleecing a rube, but there's a self-preservation aspect to it: People don't like to be played for suckers, and when they figure it out, they tend to get real mad.

So now they're real mad, and the only guy in the room to take it out on is Scott. Hee, hee, hee.
