Grab the popcorn and join us as we watch Baghdad Bob’s distant cousin, Scotty McLellan, furiously spin the news faster than a Cat 5 hurricane. (Photoshop work by susanhu.)
Watch the storm live at 1pm ET via the Whitehouse, C-SPAN or WaPo.
Will Scotty accuse Helen Thomas of being against the broader war on terrorism again today? Or will it be puppies this time?
Scotty’s late. Someone check the bathroom.
good hes late….i have time to make some of that new marshmallow popcorn.
That’s interesting. 🙂
GRIN it took me two or three tries to get my eyes off your tag line and onto what you were talking about
Love the pic, Susan! lol
It was a bit rush-rush. Needs tweaking.
But man, the hardest part was resizing the beret for Scottie’s big head!
You need to use a pic of thousands of protesters from the “anti-war” protest as the background! lol
Or how about the ghostly apparition of Edward R. Murrow over his shoulder?!
just put Helen Thomas over his shoulder… should work in a pinch… 🙂
who is this boob on cspan now?
journalism attracts liberals to such a degree?
where are they hiding them?
I still can’t get in there. Nothing on REAL Player yet.
here we go
maybe we can sneak in some special forces and find bin laden while we are there
He testified for 3 hours this morning.
Dio you suppose that’s why Bush’s “talk” with the soldiers yesterday was such an unmitigated disaster? Rove wouldn’t have let that happen — bet he was prepping for his testimony.
If everything they do hinges on Rove, they’re screwed.
Really, i think that the people who pull the press’s strings are feeling the stress and tiring of their poster boy, myself. They were willing to bolster him as long as it looked like there was a shot in hell of him limboing under these current scandals.. but more keep coming to light!
Shrub has obviously past his sell-by date.
did you watch the howdy doody pesident talks to the soldiers show yesterday?
thats what happens when rove is busy figuring out which lies sound the most plauible
“the president has a great team” blah blah blah
Too bad they’re all so bloody corrupt.
we are getting so much done without him
probably more than when he was around
Oh, OK. Now I got in on CSPAN.
What was that “Why Liberals Can’t Defend America” bullshit?
As far as Rove is concerned, I don’t know, we don’t have time to waste on anything but the agenda of the American people.
Yeah, I noticed that, too. It almost prevented me from clicking on it. Almost.
Classic psyops tactic- mislabel something to reduce its reach/audience.
dont ask me
i have a case of the shakes
helen hates america and loves terrorism
Q. Where do those reports come from?
A. From your colleagues who write them.
(Right.)
Scotty breaks into song about Harriet Miers…
“getting to know her…getting to know all about her…”
She’s widely respected by her peers, and even though she’s rabidly partisan as Bush’s handler, she has a “judicial temperament.”
“peers” = “other members of the Bush White House”
“peers” <> “people who have some vague understanding of what SCOTUS is all about.”
Q. Does the president still have full confidence in Karl Rove?
A. ongoing investigation…blah blah blah
very interesting reply – he will not say that Rove has Bush’s confidence.
He really wouldn’t say Chimpy has Rove’s back?
Wow, maybe the “jitters” thing has real legs. If they let Rove go down, he’s not going quietly.
he will get pardoned
all of them will
Next you’ll tell me there’s no Tooth Fairy.
No…honestly..he said Rove was “fulfilling his duties” etc…nothing about Bush backing him up…and he won’t say any more until this is all over.
eating marshmallow popcorn – sweet yet salty…
watching scotty defend the dumbass – fascinating yet horrifying….just like watching a toilet overflow.
juxtapositions….when nobody knew what was going on we had no problem commenting on the investigation….now that you all smell our dirty drawers we aint talking.
Edible panties taste like crap.
Don’t you know that you are supposed to eat them fresh out of the box?
(Ducking and running from flying objects coming my way!)
lol
the ones i got came in a little plastic bad
what brand are you using?
what brand are you using?
I am not sure? I’ll have to check my wife’s box and let you know…
(You had to know that one was coming? 😉
Q. Does the WH hope the Iraq referendum will pass?
(While a simple “yes” would have sufficed, Scotty decided to ramble on with Iraq talking points).
Defined as: hogging all the air time in Philadelphia?
Make that filibustering.
or filieblustering.
or fillet that buster.
Rove to Gannon, as Gannon positions himself behind Scotty.
“Bust her! That philly!”
Q. (about the troops being coached)
A. Iraq, Iraq, Iraq…blah blah blah
the questions suck
What happened to the real reporters from the last few days?
Scotty’s decided to stick really closely to his script today – probably to avoid a rumble like he had yesterday.
Why can’t Scottie pronounce English correctly either?
for responding to natural disasters
we sent most of them and their equipment to iraq but the ones that are left are gonna do a bang up job when god strikes again
His voice… it’s very very shakey. Is he trembling???
These fucking journalists…. SPINELESS SHITS
how much time is karl rove spending on his pending defense as compared to his normal white house duties?
McClellan Says Helen Thomas Against War on Terror
Meanwhile, during the same White House press briefing, McClellan declared that veteran correspondent Helen Thomas opposes what he called the broader war on terrorism. His comment came in response to her critical questioning of Bush’s Iraq policy. Eventually ABC’s Terry Moran jumped in defending Thomas. Here is some of the exchange:
McCLELLAN: Well, you have a very different view of the war on terrorism, and I’m sure you’re opposed to the broader war on terrorism. The President recognizes this requires a comprehensive strategy, and that this is a broad war, that it is not a law enforcement matter. Terry.
TERRY MORAN: On what basis do you say Helen is opposed to the broader war on terrorism?
McCLELLAN: Well, she certainly expressed her concerns about Afghanistan and Iraq and going into those two countries. I think I can go back and pull up her comments over the course of the past couple of years.
MORAN: And speak for her, which is odd.
McCLELLAN: No, I said she may be, because certainly if you look at her comments over the course of the past couple of years, she’s expressed her concerns —
THOMAS: I’m opposed to preemptive war, unprovoked preemptive war.
MR. McCLELLAN: — she’s expressed her concerns.
From DN!
if Bush went back on the blow to take the edge off his “jitters”.
We used to call it “geeking” (no offense to true geeks) when people did that after too much blow.
if he stands by his answer than say it again scotty…
Q. Are you saying that despite the CIA leak case the president does not have full confidence in Karl Rove?
Scotty told the reporter to check the transcripts…wow…he absolutely refuses to say yes!
That will probably be today’s soundbite.
Military can not speak their mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can’t beleive they accept this shit answer.
WE ALL KNOW a soldier can not disagree with the CO or CIC. HOLY MOTHER OF G-D
since we learned the katrina lessons?
did you pick only troops with nothing to complain about yesterday?
is karl rove doing a heckava job ala brownie as dumbasses advisor?
has karl advised the president on what to do if cheney is indicted in a conspiracy?
just thought I’d share that with you…
Just continuing the spirit of sharing. 🙂

Actually it’s the high fructose corn syrup you have to look out for. That stuff’ll kill ya. Anyhoo, you get a buy for being a Jersey girl — that earns you cool points. Now, Susan, on the other hand. What is going on up there in the Pacific Northwest? Are they in another time dimension? I know it’s a 3 hour difference, but I thought they used the same calendar.

specific softwood lumber types, you’re ok for now.
I already talked about that
I already talked about that
Read the transcript because I already talked about that
I won’t talk about that
Read the transcript where I talked about not talking about that.
I’ve already talked about not talking about that.
The President has friends.
The President has concerns, friends and confidence.
I don’t know about that.
I haven’t heard about that.
I haven’t read about that.
I already told you I don’t know about that.
I won’t talk about what I alreayd talked about.
Good g-d why won’t these people get up and walk out on this asshole???
lmao…omg that was funny! Thanks!
I spiffed it up and reposted it in the Froggy pond 🙂
If Susan’s right, these will soon to be added to his repertoir:
“God will roast their stomachs in hell”
“We will welcome them with bullets and shoes.”
“These cowards have no morals. They have no shame about lying”
“They are not in Baghdad. They are not in control of any airport. I tell you this. It is all a lie. They lie. It is a hollywood movie. You do not believe them.”
“Their infidels are committing suicide by the hundreds on the gates of Baghdad. Be assured, Baghdad is safe, protected.”
And, of course… “W. Bush, this man is a war criminal, and we will see that he is brought to trial”. Oh, wait, forget that last one.
Political Animals – Featuring an All-Nude Cast!
Oops, I forgot to mention where I got those quotes:
We Love the Iraqi Information Minister
Just more credibility. Oh, and gravitas. Not to mention a better hat.
Eventually, Scotty will have only need one answer for every question.
MR. McCLELLAN: Yes, this is relating to an ongoing investigation…We will be glad to talk about it once it’s over, but until that time, what we’re going to do is let the special prosecutor complete his work.

soldier takes part in nationally televised
teleconference with President Bush
CNNi first did a report on 4th GJ interview of Karl Rove and shots of Patrick Fitzgerald – nice.
This was followed by CNNi video clip on Bush theater – big smiles – for all.
CNNi was so nice to have this video clip followed by Bill Schneider with the latest poll numbers ::
Poll Approve Disapprove
PEW 38% 56%
NBC 37% 54%

In diary by Patrick Lang :: Numbers down, what shall we do?
When asked about the rehearsed event, White House press secretary Scott McClellan said the coordination was done because of the “technological challenges” of a satellite feed. He denied responses had been screened.

Are we getting Bush bashing from the MSM?!!▼ ▼ ▼ MY DIARY
You know, when Bush’s APPROVAL was at just over 50% the MSM was touting him as being a popular president. I wonder why, now that his DISAPPROVAL is in the mid-50’s, he’s not being called unpopular.
