It May Have Been A Little Rude

But it sure was funny!

A question posed to White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan at this morning’s “gaggle” by CBS White House correspondent John Roberts has attracted quite a bit of chatter on the Internet. Of course, the topic of the day is the Supreme Court nomination of Samuel Alito, and the question from Roberts, was, “Scott, you said that – or the President said, repeatedly, that Harriet Miers was the best person for the job. So does that mean Alito is sloppy seconds, or what?”

He later apologized but one thing it is showing is that McClellan's credibility is thin and reporters seem to be losing respect for him and a sense of decorum in his daily briefings.
