Scott McClellan quotes. 100% real.

[socal_dan]

Never come between a man and his... podium!

McCLELLAN: I'm not going to try to speculate from this podium.

McCLELLAN: I think we're trying to resolve this from this podium

McCLELLAN: Well, again, from this podium, I don't want to get into negotiations

McCLELLAN: No, I don't have an update from this podium.

McCLELLAN: ... unsubstantiated accusations from this podium by responding to them...

McCLELLAN: And nor am I, from this podium, getting into those questions

McCLELLAN: No, I don't have an update from this podium.

McCLELLAN: ... Yet, from this podium, you have made that link

McCLELLAN: ...trying to negotiate on Air Force One or from the podium.

McCLELLAN: ... there was bullet-proof glass in front of the podium

McCLELLAN: Again, that's what I just said. What I say from at the podium

McCLELLAN: And I'm not going to sit here at this podium today and preempt the President's

McCLELLAN: I'm not prepared to discuss that with those countries from this podium

McCLELLAN: John, and I'm not carrying that out from this podium.

I think two things are in order:

1) Let Scotty keep his podium after he leaves.

2) Make sure he names it and we all get to know what it's named :)

Cheers,
Dan

3. "What happens at the podium, STAYS at the podium."

4. Follow-Up Question if I were in the Press Corps:

Where can we continue this PRESS BRIEFING so that meddling podium doesn't get in the way?

[geckosfeet]

10. That is an EXCELLENT point. Meet Scotty in Barbados for an "off

the record" briefing and do not invite the podium.

I wonder if he has anything of substance to add, or if the source of his daily spoutings is an executive version of the daily WH talking points.

5. "The Podium" is the source of the leak!

At last we know who(what) the other Senior Administration Official is.

6. I think it was Stephanie Miller ...

(or Randi) who made fun of this today and said that they were going to DC to destroy the podium, basically so he would quit referring to it.

7. Step away from the podium.....

[Kindigger]

8. Spirit the podium away

to a dark alley.

9. coin operated lie dispenser....

I felt a tremendous glee watching him have to bite his tongue in front of the rabid presshounds....

Hee hee.

11. The Podium OD-ed on Imodium

It's all stopped up.

Needs a good flushing, I'd say.

12. The speech writers came up with that line and Scotty recited to no end. nt
