I agree, McClellan was in a no-win situation. The WH press corps are a bunch of spoiled little children who think they have a God given right to do as they want. They are so hell bent on making the news, that they couldn't find their asses with both hands in the dark. McClellan did the best he could. I don't think his personality let him go after these idiots. Here's hoping the President hires a real a-hole to deal with these clowns now.

This is a very opportune time to remove the dead wood within the White House Press room -

Hello, my name is ------. In my new position as the White House Press Secretary representing our elected Republican President, President George Bush, there will be a number of policy changes as to how we conduct ourselves within this room. You will notice differences immediately as to what you have known from past press secretaries and the way I will conduct myself. Not only will there be policy changes but, I intend to bring 'journalism' back into your practice. The policy changes will be as follows:

1. All inquiries will be addressed with respect to myself and the office of the President of The United States of America.

2. All inquires towards President George Bush will be stated as "President George Bush. Not George. Not the President. Not Bush.

3. All questions directed to myself or President George Bush will not be worthy of a dignified answer if the question, as determined by myself, is presented with a false premise. The question will be ignored and I will move to the next question.

4. All behavior within this press room will be dignified and respectfull of each other.

5. All white house press corp reporters will be placed on notice for violation of any of these new policies.

6. Any violation of these policies by a member of the White House Press Corp member will immediately be reassigned to the rear of this room. A second violation will be reassigned to the other side of the door. Only those showing respect for this office will be allowed inside this room and the privilege to ask questions of myself in this greatest nation on earth.

7. I will allow only one (1) question per reporter with one (1) followup question. Bundled or multiple questions will be disallowed and dismissed and I will move without hesitation to the next reporters' question.

9. I'm confident we will be able to work well together and those that don't or can't may eventually see their white house press corps pass revoked and, be removed from your position.

9. These new policies take effect immediately and with that, may I have the first question . . .
