I didn't hear much of the program, so I'm not sure if Rush said anything about McClellan's statement.

I'm not sure why McClellan put the President right in the middle of this if he didn't have to. Had the press been hounding him for a response from the President prior to this press conference? If not, why not let the story cool and release a statement later?

There is also the possibility that McClellan said exactly what President Bush thought, and what he wanted said.

He didn't. A reporter asked a question about Bill Bennett, and near as I can tell, the White House looked beyond the reporter and his stupid question.
