Have you seen this Scott Mclellan guy? the press cor will clober this wimp

[59millionmorons]

This guy looks like he wants to cry after any tough question. This guy wont be there long.

1. He was actually unruffled but unable to gather his thoughts

in tense situations. I have the feeling he'll stumble at some point in his memes. He certainly isn't quite as dismissive as Ari or nasty but if today was his honeymoon then he is going to get shellacked as the steam rises!

[trof]

2. Just saw a small clip on CNN.

He was manfully trying to stick to the company line.
I think he's gonna have trouble.

7. there's a blow-by-blow thread

in LBN if you missed the c-span broadcast....

he was pretty pathetic and the corps were AGRESSIVE and we're taking some of the usual BS...

[Dr. Mullion Blasto]

3. I actually feel sorry for him.

' Doesn't seem as viscious as your typical Republ-ICK-an - he almost seems like a human being.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

4. I can get that!

BTW..saw your premiere post in another thread...welcome to DU!

[scrutineer]

10. I feel sorry for him, too, sorta

He’s been waiting for a gig like this all his life and it comes at the exact time when the consequences of the seamless lying of the Shrub cadre has reached critical mass.

Ari is one lucky bastard to get out just a couple of weeks into the meltdown.

[Skittles]

5. come on, people

it's his first day. How would you like to be judged from your first day on the job? Knock it off.

[random]

12. Sorry, but...

Anyone stupid or sinister enough to take a job lying for idiotboy deserves all they get!

[Skittles]

13. well

I will grant you that. :)

[BiggJawn]

14. I was FABULOUS on MY first day!

Sure glad THAT honeymoon's over and I can relax!

[bunnyhop]

6. Whatever they're paying him, it ain't enough

He's forced to defend a psychopath and serial liar and will only come out of this looking like one himself.

[Kookaburra]

8. Helen Thomas will have this guy for lunch.

If I were her I'd be "gunning for bear", and this poor fella wouldn't know what hit him. Misdirected, of course. Ari is the one who deserves it, but any lacky is better than none.

[midnitemoleman]

9. Loyal GOP hanger-on has been tossed to the wolves!

How pathetic is the GOP, they give up one of their own!.

[unfrigginreal]

11. I thought he did Too Damned Good

He came across as Mr. Niceguy and sidestepped every pertinent question about the lies that Shrub uttered yesterday by claiming "we've covered that in the last few days." Of course, it didn't matter to the press corp that they didn't receive any answers, they just dutifully went on to the next question to be sidestepped.

There won't be any headlines coming out of this briefing as very few questions we're answered. Damn I long for the days when we had Rather and Donaldson at the White House.
