My guess is the idiot had no clue as to the meaning of what he said.

I'm betting that is the case. This is one of those few times that I think people should just accept the apology, move on, and be ready to raise up on their hind legs if it happens again.

CBS REPORTER TO WHITE HOUSE: ALITO 'SLOPPY SECONDS?'
Mon Oct 31 2005 11:26:56 ET

CBSNEWS Chief White House correspondent John Roberts described the President’s selection of Judge Samuel Alito as “sloppy seconds” during today’s press gaggle with White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan.

John Roberts: “So, Scott, you said that -- or the President said, repeatedly, that Harriet Miers was the best person for the job. So does that mean that Alito is sloppy seconds, or what?”

Scott McClellan: “Not at all, John.”

Sloppy seconds” is described in the United Kingdom’s A Dictionary of Slang as:

Noun: “A subsequent indulgence in an activity by a second person involving an exchange of bodily fluids. This may involve the sharing of drink, or more often it applies to a sexual nature. E.g. ‘I’m not having sloppy seconds, I want to shag her first.’”

Or at least pull his White House Press Pass. The man shouldn't be allowed to darken the doorway of the White House ever again.

McClellan should have replied..."Thats ok. When you said sloppy seconds, I thought you meant the guy you picked up over in Adams-Morgan last night."

I still say he should have been lead out of the White House and relieved of his White House pass, regardless of who's president.

You think he deserves to be fired over the "sloppy seconds" comment??? Was it in poor taste? Yes. But to fire him over that? I probably wouldn't.

"Unfortunate" -- most over-misused word of the last century.

It means "unlucky." This wasn't "unlucky."

It was crude and offensive.

It's tough to divide the language so what is said inside staff meetings does not drift out into public. That separates the pros from the wannabees.

Scott should have let Roberts finish. He meant to say,"I'm sorry for my unfortunate choice of words this morning, and the fact that I am a bottom-dwelling liberal troll who wishes to belittle all that is good with this country"

I just called CBS and lodged my very strong complaint. The woman who answered sounded very, very beleaguered.

Is it safe to say that today Roberts lost whatever shot he had at the anchor desk?
