Scott McClellan: he's no Ari Fleischer

its "rude" and "disrepectful" to question his credibility
Some were surprised, though, that the spokesman was treated as gently as he was. Two years ago, he categorically denied any involvement in the leak by Rove and Libby and said without qualification: "If anyone in this administration was involved in it, they would no longer be in this administration." Both statements are now inoperative. But instead of an explanation or an apology, McClellan resorted to time-tested scandal defenses: "Our counsel's office has directed us not to discuss this" and "We are expected to focus on the people's business."
Ummm, actually I understand where you're coming from Scott, even if nobody else does. 'Cause if you fired everyone involved in smearing Joe Wilson and leaking Valerie's name to the press, then the President and Vice President wouldn't have a staff. You'd have to fire them all.
"They turn in clusters, because their roots connect them."
