"As a deputy, he has been very helpful, very open to reporters, and also very careful in what he says," said Bob Deans, outgoing president of the White House Correspondents Association.

"I don't think Scott sees the press as the enemy. ---

1. I hope he's less condescending than Ari.
I think the press corps may smell blood and try to take him to task. I don't envy the bastard.

7. About McClellan
Edited on Sun Jul-13-03 04:56 PM by BeHereNow
Hang on folks- just when you thought it couldn't
get any weirder:
Check out the namebase.org social diagram for McClellan-
http://www.namebase.org/cgi-bin/nb01?_MCCLELLAN_SCOTT_
I searched some of the names with his and we are
talking the ULTRA-religious right wing.
He was one of the spokepeople during the pResidential
campaign along with our favorite Karen Hughes, and
is quoted all over in the fundie news papers-
Check out the "Christian Alert Bulletin", run by James Kennedy.

Prepare for persecution TRUE Christians and all
outside the cult of the global elite, crusader style, Amurikkka.

8. Good catch
Maybe that's why OP's article was written in such a way as to describe McClellan as semi-deified. Explains a lot.

19. Good. Maybe his head will explode from all the lies
Or maybe he will speak in tongues when the questions (which they will) get too hot.

Probably he sees them as ass-kissing sycophants just as everyone else does.

18. Ah, don't judge a book by it's cover...
This guy is a PRO-
A neocon in every sense of the word.
He has been waiting in the wings for his moment.
You think Ari was a liar?
You aint see nothin yet...
This guy signals the beginning of the END.
Kiss your ass and your country GOOD BYE.
