Spot on !

A CIA station chief would never have been identified outside the tight NSC group in the WH and certainly not printed on documents accessible to WH PR flacks.

Sidenote: when did the acronym SPOX for spokesman come into usage? Sure it’s pronounced “spokes” but my mind reads it as S-pox, just like a STD, and ever so appropriate for this administration.

SPOX? Isn't that like a bunch of (fictional) guys with pointy ears? (paging Leonard Nimoy)...

Seriously, is it just because no one wanted to spell out "spokesman", "spokeswoman" or (for the gender sensitivity afflicted), "spokesperson"?
