==White House press briefing with Scott McClellan==
If you tune in through www.whitehouse.gov, they're already feeding the audio. I love picking out Helen Thomas' voice as she bitches about the admin.

9. Reporters asks why they disregarded Bremer's recommendation.
Scotty says that it's because "the president makes decisions based on the recommendations of military advisors". Indeed!

12. Thanks for the "heads up". I really enjoy watching



the "Scotty Hem n Haw Show". It's usually better viewing than most sitcoms.

16. Reporter brings up "Culture of corruption" at the WH re: Abramhoff
Scotty lightly admonishes reporter for expressing the concept. Goes on to describe how president sought campaigh reforms, regulation of 527 groups and how Repubs are building on what's in place, looking at ideas, blah blah THEN comes to current laws and says that they're currently being enforced.
