Scott McClellan: Yapping Ankle Biter

Geez, like a friend of mine said, he's turning into a mini-Dubya. From the appropriately named Crooks and Liars, a link to E&P:

NEW YORK Questions today from longtime White House reporter Helen Thomas caused White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan to declare that she opposes the war on terrorism. His response caused one of Thomas's colleagues, Terry Moran, to leap to her defense.

They also note (via a link to TPM) that McClellan flat out lied about Shrubleroy's video press conference--he claimed it was in no way scripted. Wrong:

It was billed as a conversation with U.S. troops, but the questions President Bush asked on a teleconference call Thursday were choreographed to match his goals for the war in Iraq and Saturday's vote on a new Iraqi constitution.

Duh. Has there been ANYTHING this administration's done that ISN'T scripted? That's all they know how to do, for chrissakes. They certainly don't know how to govern, that's for damn sure.

Let's just hope, come 2009, there's still a United States TO govern...
