it's becoming a monty python skit!

From First Draft:

Today's gaggle opens with Scottie's new "challenge the questioner" strategy.

Q Why did the President feel it's necessary to invite these former justices, or sitting justices, to the White House to talk about Harriet Miers? Is he trying to change the debate from the religious preoccupation, which was much discussed here last week?

MR. McCLELLAN: Much discussed where last week?

Q Here in this room.

MR. McCLELLAN: Actually, in this room we've been discussing her qualifications and her experience --

Q Well, you have. Some of us --

MR. McCLELLAN: -- and her judicial temperament. So that's what we've always been discussing here at the White House, and that's what we will continue to highlight.

I guess Chimpy must have raised the issue of Miers' religion in another room at the White House

Seriously, isn't this getting to be a "I came here for an argument", "no, you didn't""yes, I did" kind of scenario?! The repugs love to ask people to deny the evidence of their own senses.
