Edited on Wed Nov-16-05 03:08 PM by CatWoman

1. Who Could Blame Him? I Think I'd Rather Be an Asst. Crack Whore
Than have his job.

If this is true, it means some big, bad stuff if probably right around the corner for Bushco. and he wants no part of it.

11. Probably. In a way, too bad. I was hoping for more -- but
we are very greedy these days :)

12. Thinkprogress also reports:
Bye-Bye Scott? Trade publication PR Week: “A White House correspondent, who asked not to be identified, predicts McClellan, who replaced Ari Fleischer as press secretary in summer 2003, will soon be leaving his post. ‘I’m expecting very big changes,’ the correspondent says.” (Via FirstDraft

17. I thought they started with the dregs...
Ari weren't no Prince Charming and I thought at the time he was the lyin'est scumbag to come down the pike... but then, they topped themselves. They dredged up ole' Scottie (or maybe they "beamed" him up... oh no, that was Jeff Gannon that did that, I'm sure)... oh, I'm not so sure. Anyway, they surely can't top Simple Scottie, could they?

Well, what could they possibly come up with this time?

Hey, maybe Charles Manson will finally get his parole and find gainful employement. :rofl: Well, at least he has charisma. They really do need to find someone who won't grate so terribly on poor Helen's nerves. :shrug:

21. You have *got* to be kidding me? Victoria Toensing?
Well, she's about the biggest liar and spinner I can think of.

It fits then, I guess.

She seems easily perturbed, so I hope the WH Press really gives her hell.

22. Aw, I Kinda Like Having Snotty "Take Charge" Of The Press Briefings
I might miss all the fun. Don't forget, if it wasn't for Scotty, we'd never have the fun we've had the last few years. Hope thay can find someone as "good."

23. If I Were Him, I'd Ask For A Jetpack
I know just taking a job in this administration is a bad sign, but if i had to go out everyday and face a press that now smells blood in the water, i couldn't get out of there fast enough.

26. Either That Or Build a Trap Door Under the Podium and Get Some Smoke Bombs
That way he could just disappear in a puff of smoke whenever he wanted. Now THAT would be a great job perk!
