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.’”
John Roberts has not started of well in the beltway.
The level of ethics and decency in the media has dropped to levels experienced in....... media press rooms.
Recall when Slick Willie pulled the WH press credentials of one reporter who asked him a legitimate question?
Roberts should be moved to the far back of the WH press room - and never acknowleged again for any questions.
Let him die back there.
Call on the press from the smaller flyover papers and broadcasters.
Shut down phone access by media to the VP's and President's staff.
GW should cut his WH press appearances to that of Bill Clinton.
He should talk to the press when out on trips - but not to the major networks or print media.
Let them beg for scraps from the little guys.
This was no inadvertant slip of the tongue or lapse in judgement - this was deliberate and meant to demean President George W. Bush and all the White House and all of the Republicans.
Payback is rough John - ask Danny Boy.......
What the hell was this guy thinking? Can anyone have less class than this???
