"I want to thank Scotty for saying --- nothing" - Bush

As the press briefing junkie that I am, I couldn't let this one pass without mention. Overall, it's strangely complimentary, painting McClellan as an honest and sympathetic guy who is a victim of circumstance. I just wonder what kind of favor McClellan has done for the WaPo to get this story? Or maybe it's the pre-retirement piece? It's titled "Unanswer Man."(WaPo C01)

ALSO: Dont miss yesterday's HUGE Plame story by Jason.

And, there's a pretty funny WaPo piece about Bush citing an "urban myth" in his press conference about the press leaking "sources and methods" regarding Bin Laden's satellite phone. Page A02.

It's not gonna get any easier for McClellan.
