"McClellan is not a very impressive spokesman."
Nope...ari fleisher would have handled this much better, even if he didn't agree with the pick.
As an aside:
Earlier this week when people were ripping on david frum for his criticism of harriet miers, they were saying he left the white house because GWB wanted him gone, because "nobody would leave without GWB being the one to say they should go."
So if that's true, Ari Fleisher left the white house because GWB must have wanted him gone so he could replace him with McClellan. Which would reflect badly on the president, since McClellan isn't 1/10th the press secretary Fleisher was.
Agreed. Not incidentally McClellen is the son of the Controller-general, who is running against Rick Perry. She's not winning, but she is running.
Ari left because he hates the poisoned atmosphere in Washington. His family hated it, and this is the only reason that he left.
Ari went into great detail about his decision to leave Washington.
