KOOL AID GOLD COLLECTION

SCOTT McLELLAN WILL BE INDUCTED into the Kool Aid Hall of Fame.  McLellan attacked the accuracy of the Daily News report that Bush ripped killer whale Karl Rove a new blowhole for talking to the press about blowing the cover of Valerie Plame.

HOW MUCH DOES THIS BLOW?  When challenged, McLellan said he couldn't comment because the matter is under investigation.

QUESTION: Thanks. Is it true that the President slapped Karl Rove upside the head a couple of years ago over the CIA leak?

SCOTT McCLELLAN: Are you referring to, what, a New York Daily News report? Two things: One, we're not commenting on an ongoing investigation; two, and I would challenge the overall accuracy of that news account.

QUESTION: That's a comment.

QUESTION: Which part of it?

QUESTION: Yes, that is.

QUESTION: Which facts --

SCOTT McCLELLAN: No, I'm just saying -- no, I'm just trying to help you all.

QUESTION: So what facts are you challenging?

SCOTT McCLELLAN: Again, I'm not going to comment on an ongoing investigation.

McLELLAN CAME BACK for the press briefing later in the day.

There was too much Bono in that press talk, and not enough Dick.

Time for scottie to find a nice quite corner and enjoy the day watching how long a string of drool he can make and suck back in his mouth while the sun shine in from up on high in his padded cell. Psst, by the way, can I get a half pill of what he's on?

Maybe it's just one a them there Freudian slips, the dyslexia kicking in, or just plain wishful thinking, but I read your first sentence as "Scott Mclellan will be indicted into the Kool Aid Hall of Fame."
