Scott McClellan is campaigning on MY dime!
CNN just revealed that McClellan called Kerry a LIAR today, apparently during a press conference.

he ALWAYS gets out of sticky situations by telling reporters to talk to the "re-election" campaign staff

today, in response to Kerry's refusal to name the names of foreign leaders who support him, instead of the feeb on Pennsylvania Avenue, he suggested that if Kerry is unable to name some of the foreign leaders who'd rather him in the Oval Office instead of the haflwit, he must be MAKING it UP! doens'n that mean he's calling Kerry a LIAR?

how DARE he!

I insist he APOLOGIZE instantly!

anybody have a link, or copy of what he said?

that little swine is turning into Ari, AND blurring the lines between his role as a government official and campaign operative. WE citizens should not have to pay his salary, in the event he starts campaign out of the White House.

Didn't they excoriate Gore for making fundraising calls out of his offices while Veep? should we put up with this little twerp performing campaign functions on the government payroll?

1. Dan Bartlett is on CNN now, saying Kerry is "making it up," if
he doesn't "put up or shut up"

accuses Kerry of lying on several other topics.

"Only can lead you to the conclusion that he's making it up",
WRT various stories

sounds like they're going from flipflop mode to liar mode

4. Kerry should reply that he'll name them just as soon as
Bush turns over the energy taskforce documents.

6. that's the perfect response, and one that can be used in myriad
situations

why not toss in something about when chimpo releases ALL his TANG records (like the ones about that nuclear readiness stuff affecting his flight physical)

BTW, Dan Rather just quoted McClellan, saying he stopped "just short" of calling Kerry a liar

See?

5. Other than to try to discredit Kerry....
...I don't understand their purpose in wanting "names". What would they do with the names? Cut off aid? Any reasonable person with some intelligence would understand that #1-it would be improper of him to name names and #2-of course there are heads of state that would like to see a change in Washington. Why is that such a difficult concept for them to grasp?

9. Maybe * could release names of world leaders who endorse him...
... and we get the rest by default.

11. 'Other than trying to discredit Kerry'... Bingo
Kerry did slip by mentioning this and all they are trying to do is flog him for all it's worth, since they know he can't say any more on the subject.

I don't think it's a major gaffe by the way, I think it's a plus for most Americans who realize that the WHOLE WORLD essentially wants regime change for us. But it was a strategic error nonetheless. This news could have become widely known without Kerry getting involved in this way.

8. I suggest Kerry release these names (in private) to hand-picked
representatives of his re-election committee.

This should certainly eliminate any doubt by the press or by *co that such leaders, do in fact, exist.

10. Don't forget that half the mulitnational coalition
Don't forget that half the mulitnational coalition included countries unwilling to be named. If unnamed then of course they are not sending troops. Guess that makes them liars if they can't name them.
