Scotty pulls the old hand-buzzer trick with GW.
Presidential Press Secretary Scott McClellan announced his resignation this morning. McClellan delivered the news to the press corps with his boss by his side. Said McClellan:
MR. McClellan: I quit.
Actually, he had a little more to say including a threat to tie up Helen Thomas and drag her behind Marine One.
I have heard a little speculation as to who will be Scotty’s replacement. John Cornyn’s Box Turtle at “In the Pink Texas” suggested the short list included “Baghdad Bob, Joe Isuzu and Robert Black.” By the latter name I suppose he means the flak Robert Black.
Doggone it, I’m going to miss old Scotty with his puppy-dog eyes and his ability to say absolutely nothing of substance. But life goes on. I am wondering if Scotty is going to work on his mother’s independent campaign for Texas governor. That mother would be none other than Carole Keeton McClellan Rylander Strayhorn Foghorn Leghorn. Stay tuned, lest you play offkey.
