Some excerpts of his press conference....
Quote:
Q. Scott, why is it that you continue to cushion John Roberts' work during the Reagan administration --
SCOTT McCLELLAN: I don't cushion John Roberts -- oh, wait, Judge Roberts, okay, sorry. (Laughter.)
______________________
Q. Scott, when the Reverend Jesse Jackson admitted that he fathered a child out of wedlock, the President, as you remember, telephoned him after this admission. And since Karen Stanford, the mother in this case, has just stated, "I was attacked by friends, strangers in the black press without mercy and labeled by them a political stalker, gold digger and opportunist," will the President now telephone Jesse's victim, as he did, Jesse?
SCOTT McCLELLAN: I appreciate your question, Les, and I don't have --
Q. You appreciate the question?
MR. McCLELLAN: Yes. Les --
Q. Do you think I could appreciate an answer?
MR. McCLELLAN: Les, I don't think it's worthy of an answer.
Q. You don't think it's worthy of an answer?
MR. McCLELLAN: Because your characterization is not accurate.
Q. It's not? How is it inaccurate?
MR. McCLELLAN [to next questioner]: Go ahead.
___________________________
Q. . . .Why would the President feel it necessary to engage in that kind of deal-making, rather than just selling CAFTA on its merits?
SCOTT McCLELLAN: There is deal-making that goes on in the United States Congress?
Q. So I hear. (Laughter.)
_____________
SCOTT McCLELLAN: I keep saying, Judge Roberts, and I keep looking at John Roberts. (Laughter.)
_____________________
Q. Scott, while we were standing outside, the President was on the phone. And from your time line, it sounded like he was talking to Frist. Was he agitated? Because he seemed clearly agitated when he was on the phone. He was very -- and you were in there. His hands were going, and he -- no, his hands were going and he was holding papers and shaking the papers. And when he saw us looking, he moved away and went to another room. Was there some kind of problem between he and Frist on the phone?
SCOTT McCLELLAN: Not at all.
Q. No, seriously. What were they talking about other than --
MR. McCLELLAN: What I just described. I mean, seriously, that was the discussion of the conversation. They were --
Q. And then shaking --
MR. McCLELLAN: The President -- no, April --
Q. He looked agitated.
MR. McCLELLAN: No, not at all.
Q. Scott, how far will the President go --
MR. McCLELLAN: That sounds pretty dramatic, but, no. I can assure you --
Q. Well, if someone --
MR. McCLELLAN: I can assure you, no.
Q. If one of our crack reporters has footage, you will see for yourself --
MR. McCLELLAN: You sound a little agitated, though. (Laughter.) . . . It was a very good conversation.
_________________________
Q. Scott, just a clarification before a question. Yesterday the President in the East Room with the Indonesian President, he said that we are both among the world's largest two democracies. I hope he will not that -- with the Prime Minister of India, he will be in July here.
SCOTT McCLELLAN: I'm sorry?
Q. When the President said that we are here with the -- among the world's largest two democracies --
MR. McCLELLAN: Yes, yes.
Q. I hope that he was not talking that he -- with the Prime Minister of India.
MR. McCLELLAN: You hope that he would not what with the Prime Minister of India?
Q. Indonesia is not the world's largest democracy.
MR. McCLELLAN: Yes, that -- you're correct.
Q. Okay, that's the --
MR. McCLELLAN: He looks forward to visiting with Prime Minister Singh in the future. They have a good relationship, and he looks forward to seeing him and talking about how we continue to strengthen our relationship.
Q. The question is on this --
MR. McCLELLAN: Oh, that was a statement, okay. (Laughter.)
Q. Yes, I'm sorry. My question -- the question is --
MR. McCLELLAN: Careful now, some others make statements, too, before their question. (Laughter.)
Q. Just clarification.
Q. Who would that be?
Q. It was not a question -- just a clarification.

I voted I laugh my ass off because he is overmatched when really asked real questions and he looks lost and in a semi-panic.
Although, I don't believe half the stuff he says...

I don't know about you guys, but I see very few instances in here where anyone asks a complete question. Do all reporters talk this disjointed?
I guess this is one of those instances where you have to be there.

I think it has more to do with the fact that Scott starts answering questions before they are asked...
