Heads Up - White House Daily Briefing - Snotty Scotty goes to bat again
today on C-Span 1 @ 12 noon. Pop some popcorn, get a cool drink and settle back. Anybody want to guess how many times we hear "finger pointing" and "blame game?"

Expect it to start late - seems it takes a bit of time for Snotty Scotty to screw up his courage and walk out to face the cameras.

1. If it wasn't so early in the day I would suggest
the blame game drinking game. Hospitals everywhere would be inundated with alcohol poisoning cases!

2. I wish a reporter would ask "Is fingerpointing and blame game Karl's
marketing idea or Karen's"

5. I wish a reporter would reply, when Scotty says "no blame game"..
.."Okay, how about instead we play the *ACCOUNTABILITY game*...where government officials take responsibility for their inaction and lack of preparedness.."

To Bush and his cronies, accountability is a four letter word.

6. What's your guess? Karen and Bushbot mentioned 'human dignity' in
their speeches this a.m., precisely because they exhibited a COMPLETE LACK of it in the manner in which they with NOLA Katrina victims.

4. He will not say "blame game"
that has been outed as code for "I will not answer that question."

but there will be plenty of "Now is not the time to look at those issues.
We are concerned with saving people and helping the victims."

The key questions ........ What did the President know and when did he
know it? i.e. WHEN DID BUSH KNOW THE LEVEE WAS BREACHED?

19. I'm not sure if junior even knows what a levee is.....other than a word in
in a song.

Soo..Bye, bye miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And good ol' boys were drinking whisky and rye?
Singing this will be the day that I die

13. once, just once, I'd love it if a reporter asked them
why they aren't capable of multitasking and suggested that maybe we should get some gov't officials who are.

16. Scottie, why was NO not covered in the declartation of emergency
pre-Katrina? Why were the inland areas given a declaration of emergency in LA, but not the coastal areas?

WHY??????????????? :grr:

18. What most don't understand about Scotty
I've seen a lot of posts here that ask the equivalent of How can that man sleep at night after lying like that?

Well, you don't understand Scotty or his position.

His position is designated to keep the White House talking points out front in the media and not to let the press control the White House agenda. He does that every day.

When he leaves the podium after planting the appropriate talking points and dodging, obfuscating, or refusing to answer specific questions, he walks off very content that he has done a professional job for the White House.

He is completely focused on that job.

He doesn't see bodies floating in the water in NO as anything but a PR issue that has to be shoehorned into his talking points or deflected in some way or another.

If, at any time, he becomes emotional or loses his cool in any way shape or form, then he has failed. If, at any time, he lets his personal feelings (if he indeed has any left)come to the fore, he has failed.

On this level, that's what a professional does. It's disgusting but it's true.

22. The reporters need to print out pictures of the dead and show them
to Scottie. They need to capture his response to the horror.

24. I think it should be called a "White House Press Beating."
That more accurately captures the spirit of these friendly little get-togethers. ;)

29. Snotty going on and on about national terrorism security. Reporter says
you have "strayed off topic." Snotty, says no I haven't. We are talking about "keeping this country safe." Reporters are asking about New Orleans and Snotty is dragging out that ol chestnut - is to keep the country secure. Oh, good grief...

Snotty is really earning his money today.
