The following is part of the Press Briefing today by Scott McClellan...
(Read today’s Briefing in full Here)
... Q Secretary Rumsfeld in the past has said that he's offered his resignation to the President, but the President has refused. Has Secretary Rumsfeld recently offered --
MR. McCLELLAN: I don't have any update. That would be a question to ask him. I don't have any update.
Q And can I just ask you to explain a little bit, why do you feel it's so necessary -- if you could explain why it's necessary to distinguish between a retired member of the military and an active in talking about evaluating their opinion?
MR. McCLELLAN: I didn't think I said that. I just said that --
Q Well, with Jessica --
MR. McCLELLAN: I'm sorry?
Q But with Jessica, you made it a point to clarify that right away.
MR. McCLELLAN: That was General Pace. Or, was that Kelly, I think, was bringing up former -- you said military officials, and I was just saying these are some former members of the military.
Q And why is that?
MR. McCLELLAN: It's just a fact.
Q But are you somehow suggesting that --
MR. McCLELLAN: No, I think you are.
Go ahead, Goyal...
AubreyJ says: You got to love Scott McClellan sometimes... I just wish he would take it to these ‘stuck on stupid’ reporters more often. Yet-- I guess it doesn’t matter... He’ll be gone from this job in the White House soon enough if I heard the news right today.
I do think it’s probably time for a change in this position... I for one think Mr. McClellan has just about got a major case of ‘Burn Out’ with his job and I do not blame him. He’s been hammered by an over rude Press for the longest...
