WTF Is It Now?!?

Fun with Scottie
Helen Thomas, Viagra-infused press corpse rip WH spokestool Scott McClellan a new cornchute:

MS THOMAS: The other day - in fact, this week, you said that we, the United States, is in Afghanistan and Iraq by invitation. Would you like to correct that incredible distortion of American history...

MR. McCLELLAN: No, we are - that's where we currently --

MS THOMAS: ... in view of your credibility is already mired? How can you say that?

MR. McCLELLAN: Helen, I think everyone in this room knows that you're taking that comment out of context. There are two democratically-elected governments in Iraq and --

MS THOMAS: Were we invited into Iraq? Did we invade those countries?

MR. McCLELLAN: Go ahead, Steve. {snip}

Q [T]he President said yesterday that there are no spare embryos. I'm wondering what the President would say to those potential parents who create embryos knowing that some of them are going to be lost, some are going to end up frozen forever; in their efforts to create one child, one baby, that they are effectively destroying many embryos in order to do that. Does he see an irony in that?

MR. McCLELLAN: And I think I just pointed out to you some of the facts about frozen embryos and I think you should listen to that. But the President supports in vitro fertilization. And I don't think the way you characterize it in any way reflects his view.
