MCCLELLAN: To Syria?

QUESTION: Yes. You’ve never heard of any allegations like that?

MCCLELLAN: No, I’ve never heard that one. That’s a new one.

QUESTION: Syria? You haven’t heard that?

MCCLELLAN: That’s a new one.

MCCLELLAN: By what, bloggers?
Can’t you just hear the sneer and feel the spittle as he sputtered out “bloggers” with all the contempt your mother attached to the name of a friend who was always allowed to do everything you weren’t allowed to do?

“But Joey’s allowed to sleep over on school nights!”

“Well, Joey will probably turn out to be a dodo-headed lunatic who has to rob liquor stores to feed his family.”
