Why Ari Fleischer gave up the job
Q So why not -- why aren't you standing behind [the prediction that America will add 2.6 million new jobs this year]?
WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY SCOTT McCLELLAN: I think what the President stands behind is the policies that he is implementing, the policies that he is advocating. That's what's important.
Q That's not in dispute. The number is the question.
MR. McCLELLAN: I know, but the President's concern is on the number of jobs being created --
Q My question is, why was the prediction made --
MR. McCLELLAN: -- and the President's focus is on making sure that people who are hurting because they cannot find work have a job. That's where the President's focus is.
Q Then why predict a number? Why was the number predicted? Why was the number predicted? You can't get away with not -- just answer the question. Why was that number predicted?
MR. McCLELLAN: I've been asked this, and I've asked -- I've been asked, and I've answered.
Q No, you have not answered. And everybody watching knows you haven't answered.

Didn't they know he had importrant things to do?!
Few Can Offer Confirmation Of Bush's Guard Service: "Holcombe and Jean Sullivan, a former Republican national committeewoman, say it was well-known that Bush was enlisted in the National Guard.
But Sullivan, now 70, said Friday that she remembers hearing grumbles in 1972 about Bush not showing up at Dannelly field for Guard duty. She was so angry, she said, that she called a Guard commander to say that Bush was in fact participating in Guard duties, but was spending most of his time on the Blount campaign.
'He didn't come to Montgomery to serve in the Guard; he came to work in the campaign,' Sullivan said. 'He was there just in case [the Guard] ever needed him.' "

Can anybody explain what this means or how it relates to the denial of his "scoop"?
I'm sure there will be immediate retractions and apologies
