MR. McCLELLAN: That's a nice try to keep bringing up questions relating to media reports about an ongoing investigation. As the President indicated yesterday, we are not going to prejudge an ongoing investigation based on media reports. The President directed the White House to cooperate fully, and that's what we've been working to do. And we will be more than happy to talk about the investigation after it is completed.

But the President -- I again made clear yesterday that when it comes to the President's confidence in Karl and his support for him, I made clear our views.

Q Does the President believe it's appropriate for the RNC to continue to weigh in on this matter? They put out another memo today, with a top-10 Joseph Wilson lies. If indeed it's an ongoing investigation and it's improper for the White House to discuss it, does he think it's proper for the Republican Party to weigh in on it?

MR. McCLELLAN: You know, Geoff, I appreciate the question, and as you heard me say yesterday, we are not going to prejudge the outcome of the investigation based on media reports. And I'm not going to get into --

2. So, are they going to prejudge an ongoing investigation or not?

They really need to come up with a few other ways to say that. It's getting old.

9. Great question!

Why is it okay for the Repukelican party to issue talking points and continue to slander Joseph Wilson but the Repukelican administration clings to the 'we won't make any statements until the investigation is concluded' answer?

Which reporter made that question?

[Carolab]

15. I think it was Gregory. n/t

10. Stonewallin' Scotty McClellan Strikes Again

I just can't believe how they get to ignore everything.....its getting ridiculous....this is so obviously a play out the clock manuver.

SCOTUS naming will come the monday after the ACLU Abu Ghraib photos dump. And the one-track mind press will MOVE ON.

Until the indictment anyway :)

12. He sprinkles every answer with "media reports" as though

the media is just makin' shit up. :grr:

Why is Matt Cooper allowed to talk about this case, but the WH house isn't?

[Lone_Star_Dem]

13. Ah, Karl wouldn't answer questions himself.

I bet Scotty wished it were Karl back there instead of him. :D
