Puffy McMoon face has a rough morning. Anyone see him almost lose it?
(Puffy is Scott McClellan in case you don't listen to Stephanie Miller) It's a long video but it gets good about 7.50 into it when Helen presses him and then he really gets it good from April Ryan, a reporter for American Urban radio about 22 minutes into it.

scroll down to audio video) and then click on Scott McClellan's daily press conference

1. That's just so sad. However, it's really good to see the reporters...
finally calling him on his spin.

2. I just saw him on the news.

3. McClellan's been attacking the reporters alot laterly. It's weird.
He keeps making comments like, 'we are determined to fight terrorism- some of you in the front row are not'. That sort of shit.

He seems unusually stressed lately. I don't know whether it's because the press corps is actually acting like journalists more often, or because he's in legal hot water over the Plame investigation, or if he's just freaked out watching the conservative house of cards collapsing or what. But his behavior is getting increasingly odd.

5. Craig Crawford talks about this in his book
Attack the Messenger.

It's the chimp administration's MO--if you don't like the questions, go after the questioner. Chimp has raised it to an art form of a sort.

4. I wonder if he realizes just how much he's used
as a sock puppet. All we can ever really do is laugh at the idiot.

8. Yeah, I know.
he's also a moron and he's a laughingstock. He takes a lot of shots so that * doesn't have to.

Did I give the impression that I felt sorry for him? Cuz i sure didn't mean to.

7. I saw it...
Helen really gets under his skin. I think he's going to come off that podium and attack her one of these days. His tone with her stinks, though. I would like to slap him. Helen can handle it, I guess. She's one tough lady, bless her heart.

9. Yeah, I LOVE Helen too. Ari was mean to her too. Very condescending ...
They hate it when they can't control the questions. Don't they!

10. Helen was great, as usual, but I was really surprised by April,
a reporter I wasn't familiar with. I thought she was going to leap out of her chair and go for Scotty's throat. Funny, isn't it? It took MSM years to go after this pack of criminals and now they're like starving dogs in a butcher shop.

11. He loses control and then suddenly the satellite beam hits his brain
and then once again it's "I...am...here...because...the...president...is...a...noble...man...sacrificing...himself...for...his...country...and...I...love...my...job..."

Sad.

13. I'm watching footage of the conference on Keith Olberman right now.
Testy, testy, testy!!! I thought he was going to spit on Helen Thomas!

And who's the African American reporter who was almost yelling at Scottie (who accused her of "playing for the cameras.")

Gee, Scottie, how much are you up to drinking now?

15. Just saw it on KO- actually brought me to tears- WHAT THE HELL IS
happening in this country?? I mean, I know- but man, when it is right in front of you like that it is overwhelming!

Alice- Helen and Dave (and whoever was pounding Scottie) are all my heros today!

I'm using Firefox (but I also tried it in IE). I got an error message:

Anyone know how I can get through this?

23. Thanks Danca
I can't take credit though. Stephanie Miller - Jones Broadcasting her show airs on Air America coined the nickname. Lovely and fitting IMO
