Yuck, I've never heard that definition for 'sloppy seconds' before.
Didn't CBS's John Roberts fail to even qualify for 'sloppy seconds' when it came to replacing Dan Rather?
McClellan should have pointedly asked Roberts to explain what he meant by that. When Roberts got done stammering and shaming himself in the public eye..Scott should have said..>NEXT and not have answered him at all.
Roberts should appologize publicly for his offensive statement.
That said, it's evidently the best to be expected from this president.
To elite media beasts, this expression is an everyday component of their social lives.
LOL!
This is yet another reason that Roberts is out of the running for Rather's chair. He's got the right CBS mentality but zero slickness.
That is truly disgusting.
you should have posted a "stuck on stupid" alert with this one.....
"but I'll pass on your suggestion to Mister Alito ... perhaps he will wash out your mouth with soap before he kicks your vulgar ass."
John Robers obviously spends too much time with Howard Dean.
Roberts is a filthy pig. Like that other reporter creep who's always combative during press briefings...what's his name?
Why did McClellan honor the question with an answer? Augh.
Namecalling, huh? LOL
keep it up Libs! Reveal to the people who you really are. You can't demonize this man. :-)
This was said IN PUBLIC?
Is the CBS that obsessed with sex?
President Bush never should have called Harriet Miers the best person for the job. Still, this comment, although well-deserved, is crude and degrades the White House and the Presidency.

First, Bill Clinton nominated Zoe Baird, a well-regarded attorney, for the post. She seemed to be sailing through the process, when damaging information from her FBI file was leaked that disclosed Baird had hired a housekeeper and had not paid social security taxes.
Baird withdrew, and Clinton nominated New Your Judge Kimba Wood. Again FBI file details were leaked to the press, and Wood too had not paid social security taxes for her domestic help. She also withdrew.
The Clinton administration, renown for putting positive spin on damaging information, made no effort to condemn the inappropriate leaks from Baird's and Wood's FBI files. "Baird and Wood were pawns to be sacrificed," my confidential source said.
However, with these nominees thrown overboard, the famed Clinton spin team went into overdrive with the nomination of Janet Reno. It was suggested that she was a tough, Eliot Ness-like prosecutor. After two failed nominations and with the standoff with the David Koresh cult in Waco, Texas escalating into a hot crisis, the White House press machine urged an immediate confirmation for the vacant Attorney General post.
Incredibly, the Clintons pulled it off, getting Janet Reno to head the Justice Department of the United States with virtually no vetting by the FBI, Congress, or the press.
Their control of Justice became complete when Web Hubbell, described as the president's best friend and an intimate of Hillary's from the Rose Law Firm, was named as Associate Attorney General…………….”
A person's natural tendency is to travel terrain on which he is most familiar. I guess this reflects the typical conversation of members of the White House press corps in unguarded moments.
