I'm sorry, since I think he's probably a good guy...but sending McLellan out there in front of this mob every day is like opening your chicken coop to the wolves.

He's not effective.

At all.

McLellan . . . not effective.

I've only seen him in action a few times, but I agree. Bush could do a lot better. The job requires someone who can think on his feet and will call a spade a spade, and McLellan just doesn't have it.

They should have sent Rummy....THAT guy has BALLS

[KimmyJaye]

I agree.

I miss Ari!

Scott always looks like a deer caught in the headlights.

He needed to say that he wasn't telling them what to write, he was telling them to do their job responsibly.

Amen, Amen,Amen.
The WH press office is the weakest link in the PR war and the powers that be at the WH refuse to acknowledge this.
I am sure Scott McClellan is a decent guy, but, he is absolutely the worst person for the job of WH spokesman.
He stammers and hems and haws and is rolled constantly by the bags of garbage in the media.
His presser defending President Bush's military record was horrendous and gave life to the CBS charges.
A lot of the media brush fires could be stopped in the press room by an effective spokesman who would not tolerate the abuse and insults routinely launched and accepted by McClellan.
I also have no idea why the WH does not make the press corps identify themselves before asking questions-
(at the daily briefings and presidential press conferences) as a common courtesy to the American people.
