Scotty asked if stepping down, ``I don't speculate on personnel matters.''

http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2006/04/mcclellan_asked_if_he_was_step.html


McClellan: Asked if he was stepping down, White House spokesman said ``I don't speculate on personnel matters.''

<snip>

Q Have you had any thoughts that you might be leaving soon?


MR. McCLELLAN: I don't speculate on any personnel matters.


Q You're not speculating for yourself.

MR. McCLELLAN: I'm focused on helping the President advance his agenda, just like the rest of the team at the White House.

10. Ari Fleischer was better
Ari made you believe him. I was personally rather glad when he retired. He was damned good at his job.

But yeah, "I don't speculate on personal matters" = "I better get those speaking gigs lined up. Anybody need a lobbyist?"

20. Agreed. McClellan sucks at it, and he's just got a face you want to kick.

3. He doesn't think about his own job, right?
Of course he's speculating. Who wouldn't? What he means is, "I don't tell YOU what I know."

6. what a fuckin robot!! He'll be missed. Someone should ask him
what the temperature is--he'd probably say he doesn't speculate on weather events. It's time for a new robot!

9. What a poor, lost soul
Edited on Mon Apr-03-06 03:57 PM by Gman
He's so lost, he can't even talk about his own future. He's been completely absorbed and really no longer has a mind. In a way, he no longer exists.

Sad.

12. Any chance it would turn into "can't comment/ongoing investigation?
Has little lying Scottie been any part of a coverup?

21. His personal integrity, like his job, is pretty well
at the shelf expiration date. You may be through with your job as designated Liar/Spinner for the White House, but your personal credibility will never be recovered. Hope the public humiliation was worth it.

23. You want fries with that, buddy?
I don't speculate on dieticiary concerns of the President.

I ain't askin about no President, you want fries? If not, just say no and drive to the second window

The President believes in a comprehensive healthcare package, and that includes dieticiary concerns

31. "I won't speculate on an on-going scapegoating/lynching.."
It's not nice.
