Props to the White House Press Corp!

Well, not the whole group, but one of the reporters. Today, in Lil' Scottie's PC, a female reporter (don't know her name) broached the topic of the pending medicare and energy bills and what * will do to push them through, since they were big campaign promises in '00. A male reporter (Keith something-or-other) followed up and said * is "essentially going to be AWOL" in England. Several snickers from the other reporters followed. Anyone else catch this?

"Q How concerned are you, though, that here is two most important pieces of legislation, they're coming up for vote this week, and he's essentially going to be AWOL. He's going to be out in Great Britain." :thumbsup:

Another enjoyable exchange:

Q Scott, we don't here anymore about Osama bin Laden and attacks are still going on against the United States, India, Israel and Turkey now, and also in Iraq. Do you think now Osama bin Laden is not behind all those attacks going on or al Qaeda or terrorist activities are going on around the world?

MR. McCLELLAN: You're right, we haven't heard a whole lot from him lately. I think he continues to be on the run. We will find him and bring him to justice, as we have been doing to a number of the leaders within the al Qaeda hierarchy. We continue to pursue those leaders and bring them to justice. Many of the -- certainly the middle management leaders have already been brought to justice. The war on terror continues. I think the tragic attacks in Turkey over the weekend are a reminder that the war on terrorism continues and it goes on. And the President's highest priority is winning the war on terrorism. We will continue to take the fight to the terrorists and bring them to justice.

Q Is he still wanted dead or alive?

MR. McCLELLAN: I'm sorry?

Yes Scottie, you are. :evilgrin:


Oh, and Scottie repeats the Faux lies about ties between Saddam and Al Qaeda too.
