Fabulous Fumble of the Week, Oct. 16 - George and The White House
Watch the video here
One would think that after all the problems that the President has had over the past couple of months that he and the White House would be a bit more careful about deceiving the American public. The teleconference, the denial by McClellan that it was scripted, then the proof that it clearly was scripted, was a massive fumble for the President.
Scott McClellan was asked whether the teleconference the president had with troops in Tikrit was scripted. Here's what he said ...
QUESTION: How were they selected, and are their comments to the president pre-screened, any questions or anything...
MCCLELLAN: No.
QUESTION: Not at all?
MCCLELLAN: This is a back-and-forth.
Here's how the pool reporter, from the designated reporter on the scene, described the event.
The soldiers, nine U.S. men and one U.S. woman, plus an Iraqi, had been tipped off in advance about the questions in the highly scripted event. Allison Barber, deputy assistant to the Secretary of Defense for internal communication, could be heard asking one soldier before the start of the event, "Who are we going to give that [question] to?"
You might think that they would just stop it, stop the nonsense and play straight, for a while at least. However maybe this sort of activity is so ingrained in their psyche that they can't act any other way.
