MCCLELLAN ZIPS HIS LIPS The transcript will be out later. But at the 1pm White House briefing, Scott McClellan is hunkering down--big time. He's obfuscating. He's trying to change the subject. He's retreating to legalese.
He's also wound up tongue-tied more than once. Indeed, there have so far been many, many extraordinary moments.
Today's briefing is like nothing I've ever seen.
More later.
UPDATE: Again, the transcript will be out in a little while. But it won't get across a few things: McClellan seemed at moments, at least from the C-SPAN feed, to be on the verge of tearing up. His tone was unusually somber. And he spoke much slower than usual.
UPDATE UPDATE: Crooks and Liars offers this footage from today's briefing.
