A Busy Week for Dickheads - Scott McClellan
And the Dickheads keep coming.
Scott "Stay on Message" McClellan had one hell of a press briefing yesterday.
I wonder if, prior to the briefing, he held out any hope at all that the questions would follow in the spirit of his introduction about the former Yugoslavia.
The White House press corps woke up for this briefing, and other than the occasional softball tossed up by sympathetic reporters, the group did a nice job of playing off each other and sticking to task.
Poor Scottie. Although, to his credit, it's probably a lot easier facing all these questions without a soul.
Thanks to Hil for the link and Dickhead nomination.

Whoa, was that the press actually doing investigative journalism? Where did that come from?
Well, really they were just asking tough questions. Don't get me wrong: I applaud tough questions. But investigative journalism means research and interviews and lots of money and lots of time. And ever since news organizations became profit centers, very few do it anymore.
Oops. Sorry, Ted. I just got preachy. I don't mean to split hairs or get condescending, because I'm as surprised by the tough questions as you are. And for the first time in a while, I feel a sense of admiration toward the White House press corps. Power to the people, baby!
Any signs where it looks like journalists are trying to find the truth instead of passing along whatever bullshit is handed to them is good in my book!
