The drizzle of the White House briefing was interrupted this week by a pointed exchange between NBC's David Gregory and spokesman Scott McClellan. Gregory repeatedly tried to get McClellan to talk about Jack Abramoff's meetings with Bush administration officials, and McClellan repeatedly did not. McClellan wouldn't say with whom the disgraced lobbyist met, what he was after, or what gift baskets he may have left behind. Had Karl Rove met with Abramoff, Gregory asked? "We don't ever tend to get into those staff-level meetings," McClellan said.
