Scott McClellan is Stepping Down from Whipping Post

White House Press Secretary, Scott McClellan is stepping down.

Here is the announcement from the White House.

A sad day for Scott…

No more mornings with the smiling faces from the liberal press.

Lets hope the president can find a pitbull to face the vicious attacking liberals from the White House press corps. I wonder what Ann Coulter is up to? They could sell tickets to that catfight!

Here is today’s news:

White House press secretary Scott McClellan said Wednesday he is resigning, continuing a shakeup in President Bush’s administration that has already yielded a new chief of staff and could lead to a change in the Cabinet.

Appearing with Bush on the White House South Lawn just before the president boarded a helicopter at the start a trip to Alabama, McClellan, who has parried especially fiercely with reporters on Iraq and on intelligence issues, told Bush: “I have given it my all sir and I have given you my all sir, and I will continue to do so as we transition to a new press secretary.”

Bush said McClellan had “a challenging assignment.”

“I thought he handled his assignment with class, integrity,” the president said. “It’s going to be hard to replace Scott, but nevertheless he made the decision and I accepted it. One of these days, he and I are going to be rocking in chairs in Texas and talking about the good old days.”

There are rumors that FOX News Tony Snow is in the running for the job.

Karl Rove will also be shifting positions in the latest Bush Administration shake-up.

John Stephenson and GOP and the City have ideas for Scott’ replacement.
