the white house's idea of an "absurd question"

Scottie’s Daily Press Fleecing

Great moments in McClellan history:

MR. McCLELLAN: That’s a pretty absurd question that you just raised.

How can this man say these things with a straight face?!?!?! How is that question "absurd"?! My gawd, how f'k'd up can this country get?!
