Scott McClellan

“There's been nothing, absolutely nothing, brought to our attention to suggest any White House involvement, and that includes the vice president’s office as well."

White House, 9/29/03

As you know I have more Scott McClellan video clips than probably anyone. I'm hoping a few people can search the site and make a cool compilation video of what you believe are his greatest hits. Use the calendar or the Google search function to find all the entries. Just email me your videos to crooksandliars@gmail.com.

House of the Rising Sons: Reconsidering Judas. Could be a hard sell in view of the fact that yesterday's MSNBC poll found that 35% of Americans believe that EVERY DETAIL OF THE BIBLE IS TRUE. Even though the Bible contradicts itself in places, and the English translations sometimes warps and distorts the original meanings.

This is what we've grown to expect from the press and Scotty.

Glenn:

Here, according to an article from Reuters, is what Scott McClellan said today in response to Sen. Feingold's censure resolution:

"I think it does raise the question, how do you fight and win the war on terrorism?" McClellan said. "And if Democrats want to argue that we shouldn't be listening to al Qaeda communications, it's their right and we welcome the debate. We are a nation at war."

This is not advocacy. This is just lying. No Democrats are advocating that we not listen to Al Qaeda communications, and Scott McClellan knows that. And no journalist ought to pass along this falsehood without pointing out that it is factually false...read on"

Froomkin:

Is there any excuse for a news organization to print a statement that they know is untrue, without at least trying to clue their readers into the truth? That seems to defeat the central purpose of journalism. So what should Time have done? One option might have been to go to Rove and say: We know McClellan isn't telling the truth. You either need to tell us the truth, on the record, or tell him the truth.

What if Rove had refused? One option might have been to go to McClellan and tell him that they had reason to think his statement was not accurate. And if McClellan brushed them off? They should have stopped at nothing until they found a way to report what they knew to be the truth.

Here's the press briefing with Scotty and the gang.

Atrios before the briefing:

Why was the White House relying on a Texas rancher to get the word of Cheney's hunting accident out over the weekend, asked Gregory, accusing McClellan of "ducking and weaving.''

"David, hold on-the cameras aren't on right now,'' McClellan replied. "You can do this later.''

"Don't accuse me of trying to pose to the cameras,'' the newsman said, his voice rising somewhat. "Don't be a jerk to me personally when I'm asking you a serious question.''

"You don't have to yell,'' McClellan said....read on

Raw Story has the transcript up now...

Tweety makes like McClellan and defends Cheney's delayed press notifications. There's more of Gregory and Scotty. Did Chris actually think that it would have been a walk in the park for Scotty today?

Arianna has her latest installment up and I agree with this point:

"And now David Gregory apologizes. Why? Gregory's a reporter. McClellan was being a jerk. So why the apology?"

I found that odd too. What went on with Gregory was off camera. I wonder if the powers-that-be over at NBC made David do it because the apology played into the "press is out of control" meme that Mary and her pals have been trying to sell us all week.
