Well, it's the correct answer but McClellan has to walk a fine line of not being that direct with the press corps...I think they'd explode if ever he was.
I nominate Wuli to replace Scott McClellan.
I simply would have reacted by taking away the press credentials of the idiot reporter who asked the question. I would cite as my reason the fact that such a stupid mass of protoplasm had no right to being in a position of "informing the public" when he/she themselves were so woefully uninformed.
it would be a "public sanity" issue.
Scott is a nice guy, but has zilch ability to wield a covert scalpel, let alone even think about it. He's too programmed.....almost robot-like. Not much thinking on his feet, at all.
I know comparisons are odious, but as the Bush administration's voice to the world, McLellan rates about two forks on a ten-piece place setting.
