My old friend Charlie McAteer fills in a crucial gap in Scott McClellan's recent remarks:

Q: Are we to believe the President didn't know all this time that his closest advisor was a source of this leak?

MCCLELLAN: That's an interesting question. I appreciate it. It's a question that I will avoid at all cost. I'll deftly talk around it, take up as much time as I can, and then get off stage, maybe go get a Frappuccino. Perhaps I'll mention an investigation several times. People respect ongoing investigations. Can't meddle in them, right? Investigation. Investigation. There, said it twice. Investigation. Bammo! Here's some other stuff we practiced backstage. Loyalty. Nothing improper. President's word. Frappuccino. Whoops, that one slipped out. Ongoing grand jury investigation. Ohh, nice finish Scott. Next question.
