Replacement for McClellan announced!

[DBoon]

One candidate emerged with the skills and background necessary to lend a credible facade to the Bush administrations....

[rkc3]

1. Baghdad Bob is the perfect replacement for DC Scotty.

[Spazito]

2. LOL, no doubt it will be someone equally as 'qualified' as your

candidate. I can only hope Snotty Scottie's replacement is, at least, amusing in spewing his/her lies.

[cain_7777]

26. Anybody is going to look amusing....

squirming on that podium trying to deflect Bushco's incompetence, and its only going to get better as the media start to turn up the heat. The media has been pathetic while Bush had power but now I think they are smelling blood, and that will lead to harder questioning of the new press secretary. Dig your teeth in boys, FRESH MEAT is on the table.

[gratuitous]

3. I was thinking of the DU grovelbot

Programmed to say over and over again "We can't comment because of the ongoing investigation."

[peekaloo]

4. Rats. I want Grover from 'Sesame Street'.

[shenmue]

5. Oscar the Grouch...

would be more appropriate.

[0007]

7. I'll second that!

[peekaloo]

15. I don't think Brit Hume wants to leave his cushy job at Faux.

;-)

[movie_girl99]

6. any reasons as to why he's leaving? n/t

[BrklynLiberal]

9. "To spend more time with his family" ?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Canuckistanian]

21. To spend more time with Jeff, er, I mean the family

Now where did that family go....?

[movie_girl99]

24. typical exit excuses i suppose n/t

[TheBaldyMan]

11. the last six years might have something to do with it.

Ari Fleischer bailed just as Valerie Plame was outed, maybe Scottie has just been asked to do something equally heinous and he just can't stomach the job anymore.

edited for spelling

[FuzzyDicePHL]

17. That would be plausible

if I could believe for a second that Scotty has the scruples that would be required for him to find doing something dishonest for the administration heinous.

[Dr. Death]

18. Ran out of pants - all his burned up

"Liar, liar, pants on fire"

[BrklynLiberal]

8. Just heard the news on NPR/BBC!! Scotty out!! Baghdad Bob is the BEST

replacement. Has more credibility than any of the predecessors.

[LisaLynne]

10. He would be perfect.

They need somebody who can spout complete fabrications and laughable untruths. Because that's what a Bushco Spokesperson's job is.

[LynneSin]

12. My money is on this guy

He's already a puppet and at least we'll be able to determine reality from the shit they try to pull over us

[Atman]

13. Really? I heard it was this guy...

"Yeah! That's the ticket!"

[peekaloo]

16. lol.......I think Subway pays better.

[dogday]

14. Scotty was our version of Bagdad Bob.....

I don't know if anyone can do the "cover your ass" dance like Scotty could, he will be missed....

[lonestarnot]

19. The so called "shake-up" is cracking me up!

:rofl:

[Atman]

20. Yeah, this is EARTH SHATTERING!

Who will LIE TO US now?

[lonestarnot]

22. Neeeeeeeeeeext liar please.

[Patsy Stone]

23. Absolutely!

God will roast their stomachs in hell!

I've always thought he should be part of the administration. It seemed a perfect match.

[Gregorian]

25. Ronald McDonald.

He's corporate friendly!

[cascadiance]

27. Hmm... Dubya was a cheerleader himself!...

Perhaps to replace Whitehouse Cheerleader ('er "spokesman"), he'll pick someone that a) he's known for a long time, and b) was someone he knows is a good cheerleader. Perhaps one of those people on his Yale cheerleading squad shown here!
