Poll question: Scott McClellan vs Ari Fleischer
If you had to save either Scott McClellan or Ari Fleischer from a bubbling pit of hot molten lava who would you save? Say that they both had the same information in their pocket that would implicate Republican wrong doings that went straight to the president and would send him and 20 congressmen and 5 senators to jail just to give you a reason to save one of them.

Which one would it be, which do you prefer?

1. By the time I made up my mind it would be too late for either.

2. McClellan at least appears to have a conscience
(which is eating at him a lot lately, BTW).

Ari Fleischer is a soulless bastard. Let's hope he's writing a tell-all book.

3. If they both have the same evidence against Bush...
Then I'd just go by Ari being a more pretty guy. :P

4. Scott
He's just not as good at telling lies as Ari.

5. That's why he has less of my respect
Let's face it, McClellan is a moron. Like Chimpy.

Fleischer was a master of the lie. I'd save him because of his knack.

8. Indeed.
Hate Ari all you want, but his powers of obfuscating the issue at hand were truly Clinton's penis. :evilgrin:

6. Throw them both a life jacket
and let them decide.

7. McClellen is kind of a tool
But Ari was a simpering idiot.

9. They're both tools.
Scotty is even learning the smirk. Let em both fry and find the guy who leaked the information.

10. Ari was Prince of Darkness...and knew it.

11. I like Ari Fleisher
He treats the press with the exact amount of contempt that they deserve. I hope Clark or Kerry can convince him to work for them. If not, then Democrats should get someone equally if not more vile and disingenuous to handle the press.

This is important, because I can see Democrats like wide-eyed little school-children attending to the press' every whim and inflection, which will get us all crucified over every single little thing. The press has no respect for Democrats that cater to them. In contrast, they bow down to Republicans who will smash them if they so much as sound disapproving of Republicans.

That's how trivial twenty-year-old land deals and interns and lies about White House vandalism can bring out years of ugly media coverage on Democrats willing to take it up the ass, while stolen elections, national security negligence, economic destruction and lies to start a war are hardly even mentioned when they run agains Republicans willing to stick them up the press' ass.

I'd like to see a Democratic Press Secretary that makes Ari Fleisher look like Dee Dee Meyers, come out once a month to puke on the press. That will be the first step in running an effective Democratic administration.

13. Hah! I like your thinking on this
Jello Biafra for press secretary, perhaps... although it'd be hard to get him to toe the party line, he'd certainly be up to vomiting on the sycophants and hypocrites who comprise the press corpse.

14. I agree the next Dem Press Secretary has to have balls so big
they have to ride shotgun. I hereby nominate Al Sharpton.

Just take a few minutes and IMAGINE a press conference with Rev Al.

12. It HAS to be scott. Ari's parents are hardcore solid DEMOCRATS
and saving scott would put them out of their misery.
