If you want a good chuckle, you HAVE to catch a video clip or transript of Monday's White House Press Corps briefing. It was some funny shit.
It was a shock to see that the Washington press weren't complete invertebrates. Somehow the ghosts of Woodward and Bernstein inhabited their bodies for a few glorious minutes and they all remembered what the press is actually there for.
For a few seconds there, I almost felt sorry for Scott McClellan ... but I got over it. It was like the great philosopher Norm (of Cheers fame) said, "It's a dog-eat-dog world and I'm wearing milkbone underwear". Well, today, McClellan was wearing the milkbone underwear. Witnessing him mining the depths of Orwellian doublespeak went beyond humorous into ludicrous.
You have to wonder if the combination of this and the Downing Street Memo may be the straws that broke the camel's back. We can only hope.

The media have re-grown their spine? What happened?
That was so fun to watch McLellan squirm.
Interesting new twist ... former press secretary Ari Fleischer's name is being bandied about in relation to the Plame leak case:
Was Ari the other Leaker?
This is awesome! It's Jon Stewart's take on the press conference:
We've secretly replaced the White House press corps with actual reporters
Nobody can quite get a handle on things like Stewert. that was just too funny!
