Helen Thomas: White House following a scandal script (You go, girl!)

[Bluebear]

.....Somehow, I feel we have been here before with White House scandals. Every time an official investigation gets underway involving the White House, a president always promises "full cooperation" with the inquiry -- and then circles the wagons.

And his spokesman always assures the press that the president is determined to get to the bottom of the problem. To complete the script-thus-far, McClellan said Rove continues to have the confidence of the president, though it was put in the context of "everyone working at the white House has the confidence of the president."

Bush on Wednesday joined the zipped-lips club at the White House and ducked questions by declaring: "This is a serious investigation. I will be more than happy to comment on this matter once this investigation is complete."

History shows that happy-talk rhetoric at the White House can be misleading......

16. I got to touch her once at the Democratic Convention in Boston

met her walking there and stopped her to let her know that they should be building statues in parks in honor of her - she was very gracious and I held her hand and marvelled at my good fortune of just running into her..

Anyone catch what someone was yelling as Scotty was leaving the briefing room today?

Sounded like, "Karl ROve, Karl ROve! Is Karl (indecipherable) optional?"

No captions so I couldn't figure it out, listened maybe 20 times.. any court reporters out there?
