<snip>Q Is Mr. Rove's status the same? I mean, the reports say that he remains under investigation. He was not indicted today. Is there anything --

MR. McCLELLAN: Anything -- go ahead.

Q Any change in his status? Has he talked to the President about the continuing investigation?

MR. McCLELLAN: Are you talking about change in his legal status? Is that what you're -- I mean, it's --

Q Does he still -- he still works here, correct?

MR. McCLELLAN: That would be a question to direct to his personal attorney.

Q No, but he still works here, right?

MR. McCLELLAN: I saw his personal attorney put out a statement earlier today. But, yes, he has been here doing his work.

3. But, yes, he has been here doing his work

Of course he is. They will just keep him out of the public eye for a while. He is still getting a big fat government check, I bet. Once a welfare queen, always a welfare queen.

4. He answered in past tense. "he has been here doing his work"

So has Scooter but he isn't no more.
