Scooped this one .. I did ...

Well, this is not much of a breaking news, but was tickled when I saw this in Yahoo News. Don't know if you remember, I had said a few days ago, that each time Scott McLyin' gets in a tight spot he goes to this strange Indian correspondent who asks the silliest questions ..
I had said in my blog entry -

The odd thing I wanted to point out that happens later in the briefing is, anytime Scotty is in a tight spot, he calls on this guy Goyal, who he went to again today as he was being hunted down by the Press Corps, and just as expected Goyal asked a completely stupid question that no one cares about ... It starts with Scotty saying,
Go ahead, Goyal.

Now there is a story saying the exact same thing by some correspondent called Ela Dutt, the Yahoo link for that news is here. Excerpts,

Goyal has been a White House pressperson for many years and is often ridiculed for his softball questions that deal exclusively with India and for which he has been labelled the 'Goyal foil' - or a way out for White House spokesman Scott McClellan when he is in a tight spot.
