Scott McClellan Doesn't Know
Click here to watch White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan avoid answering direct questions about last weekend's vice presidential face shooting. (You'll need QuickTime 7.)

Why wouldn't you obfuscate? It's a non-story that has nothing to do with Iraq, Al Quaeda, or the economy. The longer the media perseverate over it, the less chance they'll have time to ask a question about topics of real concern. (And of course, the less credibility they have when they do come across something worth digging into. "Well, there you go again.")
You are one formidable adversary. I throw out "obfuscation", you shoot back with "perseverate".
Well I assure you, Mr. Van Baker (if that's your real name!). This is all far from over.
