WTF Is It Now?!?

Why do they hate freedom?
WH spokes-hamster Scott McClellan tries to explain to the press just how helpful Condo 'fried' Rice has been, without actually saying anything:

Q: Is this White House willing to share her responses that she's already given to the 9/11 Commission?

SCOTT: I think she's been out there taking your questions in the media. So she's been very pleased to do that.

Q: Can we get a transcript?

SCOTT: Well, again, she met with them for more than four hours. And this goes to the issue of public testimony --

Q: She's been so forthcoming --

SCOTT: -- from White House staffers. And again, it's not a personal preference. This goes to a matter of principle. This goes to the issue of separation of powers between the executive and the legislative branch. And when you start crossing those two, it could have a chilling effect on the President receiving the kind of advice that he needs.

Q: If she's already been candid and helpful, could we get access to --

SCOTT: Well, again, if you have specific questions like that, you need to direct those questions to the 9/11 Commission. She was pleased to meet with them and answer all their questions that they had for more than four hours.

Q: It they want to release it, that would be okay with you?

SCOTT: I'm not saying that. I'm saying that, again, there are separation of powers issues, there are principles involved. And that's where it stands.
