Scotty's Party

Friday was Scott McClellan's final White House press conference and following it, reporters held a little party to toast Scotty's departure....From a source at the scene:

"Scott came down with his wife, Jill, who is super-nice but bears a disconcerting resemblance to Laura Bush.

There was a recorded message from CBS' Mark Knoller, who is recuperating in the hospital, and another from Scott's mother, who told 'Scotty-baby' to gather up that ragamuffin menagerie (two dogs, four cats) and get his wife home to Texas, etc. She is one tough grandma. Her campaign t-shirts and yard signs are all over the basement.

There was a poem, and a faux briefing, and other entertainments, and a toast. There was also tons of food and a plate of sugar cookies that say 'Scott' in red, white and blue frosting....Scott told Helen Thomas, 'No more follow-ups for you.'

She dispensed some sage advice on the margins: Don't be photographed with a drink in your hand."....

1. How sweet of the White House Press recorders

to have a party for their recording overlord, Scotty. I hope he told them to continue just writing down what the new press secretary says, and don't ask any questions, or look around any corners, just like they have been doing for 5 years.

Sweet.
