Scotty peppered again ...

The whole shooting incident is all over the blogosphere. There is also a Harry-watch. I am still reading squirmy press briefings, and relishing every bit of it. Ok, you can read the briefing here, it is very entertaining ! I give you a sample of the ongoing saga of David and Golly-iath ..

Q Okay. And then the third issue related to this is, we know and established yesterday through you that the President heard about it on Saturday evening. Could you explain to us why it is this piece of information was important enough for the President to hear about relatively quickly, within three hours of the event --

MR. McCLELLAN: David, as I --

Q -- but in your view, it was not important enough --

MR. McCLELLAN: -- as I indicated, there are some pressing priorities before the American people and they want us to spend our time on that, and that's where we're going to keep our focus today.

Q It's our briefing, we get to ask the questions.

MR. McCLELLAN: You do, but I've indicated to you where I am today, and that's where I'm going to continue to focus.

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.

Q Two questions. One, lately the former two President George Bush and President Clinton both getting along well and they have been traveling together and also have done a lot of humanitarian work --

MR. McCLELLAN: Let's go to the question.

Q The question is, recently President Bush said that, I have a third brother, President Bill Clinton. What he meant by that? Is he getting some advice from him --

MR. McCLELLAN: I'm sorry, what comment?

Q He said that I have a third brother, which is President Bill Clinton --

MR. McCLELLAN: I think he was in a lighthearted way referring to President Clinton's relationship with his father.

The good news is that, that wasn't a long enough stupid question, and was only a brief respite, and the pit-bulls were back on Scotty .. Ah, such good entertainment ! Somebody asked him if it was the Rove-ster's idea for Armstrong to put out the news instead of it coming directly from the WH. and Scotty said,

MR. McCLELLAN: No, I think Mrs. Armstrong has said how that idea came about.

Q So did they discuss it while they were on the phone?

MR. McCLELLAN: Not that I know of, no.

Q Could you find out for us?

MR. McCLELLAN: I just said I don't believe so.

Of course this guy also said he didn't believe, actually was dagnamit confident, that anyone in the WH had anything to do with the Plame leak. Credibility is a finite currency ! And you ran out bro !
