I'm confused: Just what is Scott McClellan so highly miffed

[CatWoman]

and upset about?

And just why should the Washington Post be ashamed of themselves?

[Ioo]

1. I agree, he is saying every media outlet lied?

I am not sure what the hell he speaks about.

[Roxy66]

6. I missed the beginning...I'm not sure

If we could get clarifiction, it would be great

[saracat]

2. This is why!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House on Wednesday angrily denied a newspaper report that suggested
President George W. Bush in 2003 declared the existence of biological weapons laboratories in
Iraq while knowing it was not true.

On May 29, 2003, Bush hailed the capture of two trailers in Iraq as mobile biological laboratories and declared, "We have found the weapons of mass destruction."

The report in The Washington Post said a
Pentagon-sponsored fact-finding mission had already concluded that the trailers had nothing to do with biological weapons. The newspaper cited government officials and weapons experts who participated in the secret mission or had direct knowledge of it.

The Post said the group's unanimous findings had been sent to the Pentagon in a field report, two days before the president's statement.

8. Oh geez.

It's a foregone conclusion that these asswipes lied about everything. :eyes:

Enough with the righteous indignation!!

[tridim]

19. Another way to say it.. They've NEVER told the truth about ANYTHING!

I can't think of a single example where a WH claim (even a benign claim) turned out to be true. Anyone who can think of one example where they did tell the truth wins a cookie.

[laheina]

33. Thank goodness I have my own cookies!!

I'll be damned if you aren't right on! ;)

[Roxy66]

9. Well, what part of that is wrong?

[CatWoman]

12. I don't get it

so what's the problem? :shrug:

[opihimoimoi]

25. Snotty was his typical shitty self...lying thru his damn teeth...

Sweeping the whole thing under with "Old REHASH material addressed years ago...etc etc..."

The man is clever and indeed astute enough to get by...

But he is clearly rattled and upset that the Lies are coming back to bite their collective asses.....in the end, TRUTH will win...

[CatWoman]

27. Hi, Dennis!!

:hi:

:loveya:

Have I mentioned lately that I HATE THESE PEOPLE!!! :grr:

[opihimoimoi]

29. You should write a BOOK like that lady who teaches kids on how to HATE

Liberals

LOL

:hug:

[ChairmanAgnostic]

3. being caught in a lie, (germ trucks) just as they are working up their

attack plans for Iran.

[Jane Austin]

4. Thanks for asking that, CW.

I just came over here to seek the same info.

I can't tell what he's talking about.

[madame defarge]

5. not watching, but i assume it's this artcle...

[tularetom]

7. I'm not watching but I think it's about

the socalled mobile biological weapons labs that turned out to be portable shitters. Apparently * knew they were shitters two days before he told us they were labs. It's as close to an accusation of lying that the Post has done or is liable to ever do.

[coalition_unwilling]

35. This WP story parallels the revelations about Libby's leak of NIE:

to wit, Libby "leaked" only those portions of NIE regarding SH seeking Niger uranium that bolstered adminsitration case, while not leaking the truth, which was that intelligence community had concluded that the whole thing was bullshit.

That is, in both instances, the liar (Libby or Bush) knew he was lieing at the time (or even before) he told his lies.

Here is Peter Daou's take on scandal control at the WH:

21. I like his last line

"rinse and repeat" just what the dems do every time.

[skooooo]

11. He's not aware of much of the recent reports of announcements..

...and he's not goign to speculate.

P@#$*@#%(*@#$)*#@$e

[karlrschneider]

17. He's about as informed as Chimpy. And he gets paid for being

an idiot. Par for the course, apparently.

[oasis]

13. R-winger Len Kinsolving commenting on sex perverts in the Bush Ad.?

:wow:I never thought I'd live to see the day.

[bahrbearian]

14. Moving Helen to the the front row seems to have given the

Media a new backbone.

[CrazyOrangeCat]

18. You sure got that right!

SHE knows how to do her job, and isn't the least bit afraid to do it.

[goclark]

26. What caused them to let her sit there again!

[WI_DEM]

15. They have the audacity of accusing others of lying!!??

[Quakerfriend]

16. He was saying that it's "IRRRESPONSIBLE>>>!!!" for the WP

to 'suggest' to the reader that the Preznut knew that the trailors where NOT being used as weapons labs before he gave the SOTU address, I think.

[Alamom]

20. He seemed a little rattled in the last Press Briefing, too ...Upset,

angry, unsure and talking in circles.

He's not use to answering "real" questions. :hide:

[blm]

24. That's been our point for years now - press hadn't asked tough questions

in Bush's first term, at all. Since Katrina gave media back some voice and blew some braincells back into their heads, the WH doesn't know how to tell truths it never had to deal with in the first term.

[onehandle]

22. The angry remorse of constant lying and guilt by association. nt

[Alamom]

23. One reporter just told him , "You seem agitated" . eom

[Malikshah]

28. Faux outrage from a faux human

with faux morals and faux integrity.

[H2O Man]

30. Be careful!

Scotty might look like a little pudgey fat boy, but when he gets this angry, he could easily bite Mike Tyson's ear off. And even Pat Fitzgerald wouldn't dare say it was anything other than Justifiable Assault.

[CatWoman]

32. hah!!

I'd like to stitch Scotty's mouth shut!!

:hi:

[sinkingfeeling]

31. Scotty's unhappy because they've been caught in another lie.

[Hubert Flottz]

34. If Scott don't want to do his job I think we can find a replacement

in some other country! Baghdad Bob would love to have a good job like that!
