"Scotty's lies should be tolerated because he has a mortgage to pay"

[CatWoman]

per ABC's John Roberts:

Incredibly, Roberts defended McClellan's decision not to come clean by saying that McClellan needs the "pretty good job" of White House press secretary because he has "a mortgage, he has got a wife, probably a family coming down the road at some point":

Now, of course, McClellan could do what some people might think to be the honorable thing and say, "I'm not going to take this any more, I'm going to quit." But he has got a pretty good job, by and large. He has got a mortgage, he has got a wife, probably a family coming down the road at some point, and I don't think he wants to give up a lucrative job like that.

4. Yes - full human beings with lives & careers are repukes. People

who do not think like they do should have their careers and lives destroyed. One set of humanity for them, one set for everyone else.

5. So, the only way....

....to pay for a mortgage, a wife and a potential family is to be spokesperson for a lying president? Has he ever considered supporting a family on minimum wage, like so many people have to do because of the policies he has promoted?

[ellenfl]

13. he could always get a job at walmart. eom

[area51]

18. What DianeR said. (n/t)

[sproutster]

25. He has a family to feed... His lies pay the bills for his family

While other lies ensure some don't have a family to feed.

Other peoples families are destroyed to feed his. Nice. Spread the word.

9. Yeah Scotty? What about the potential mortage of the thousands of

deaths that you have been directly and indirectly responsilbe for by covering up lies? This argument I've heard before, and it never ceases to amaze me! Like a mortgage protects one from the duty of telling the truth!

Snot-nosed Scotty, RESIGN.

10. Let's ALL make excuses for Puffy McMoonface!

"I lie because the President will forcibly sodomize me if I don't!" -Puffy McMoonfaced-Simpleton.

"I ejaculate whenever I successfully put one over on the White House Press Corps!" -Fat Bastard

"Bland platitude containing sexual innuendo but no pertinent information!"-Scott McClellan

Alright, I've had my fun. Anyone else want to have a go?

Sounds like a fair trade :eyes:

[leesa]

16. That was soooo funny! Spot on.

[CatWoman]

21. kick

:kick:

the looks on the reporters faces are PRICELESS!!!

[goodboy]

22. uh huh...and the dead troops had families too...(nt)O

[Touchdown]

23. This is damned by faint praise

I see Roberts' comment as a political jujitsu thing here. He makes this marshmallow comment to keep his corporate master happy, and the White House, but people know, and get what is being said.

Sort of like Reid's "She seems nice. I don't really know her well though."

24. White house press secretary

is a Wal Mart greeter (my sincere apologies to real Wal Mart greeters for the comparison) <Big smile!!> Hi, come on in!!! Have a great press conference experience! You'll notice we have bullshit on sale for 50% off today!
