Double Super Secret Background: Karl Rove Scandal

Just watching the 7/29/2005 press briefing from White House press secretary Scott McClellan. His incoherent ramblings combined with his seeming 'at-ease' demeanor indicate a decades-old alcohol dependence. The signs are clear. Reporter asks a question, and instead of answering it, he berates the reporter for asking the wrong question before stumbling into a disjointed tirade repeating the words "president" "American People" "dreams" "growth" "explore" "decision" and "difficult" frequently throughout the 32 minutes of Razzle Dazzle.

At one point, he responded to a reporters question, "Of course you don't want to talk about it," To which the reporter responded, "No, I do, that why I asked the question, here I'll clarify it...", to which McClellan said, "See , I told you so, its so obvious you're not going to talk about the president's dream to explore growth of difficult decisions.. for the American People. You're going to report on it anyway, but you don't want to talk about it... are you going to let me respond? See, nobody wants to talk about this... Its time to move on..." When a foreign reporter asked a question, he chuckled at her accent before telling her she asked the wrong question and repeating the drill. He ended the briefing, "We are getting things done for the American people. Have nice weekend everybody," and stumbled off the stage.
