I love hearing about good journalistic moments

From yesterday’s afternoon White House press briefing, we have this exchange between WH press secretary Scott McClellan and a reporter named “John”:

McCLELLAN: John, you can keep jumping in, but I’m going to try to keep going to other people in this room, as well. And we can have constructive dialogue here, I think, but that’s not the way to do it.

REPORTER: It’s not my job to have a constructive dialogue, Scott. Sorry.

Haha yes! Did you read the rest of the brief? Why even have a spokesman? Why not just put up a sign saying “NO COMMENT!” ??
