Q. So the description that the President “scolded” his CIA Director for the bad publicity coming out of the CIA in the last few days, would that be an accurate representation?
SCOTT McCLELLAN: I don’t know who is making that suggestion, but I don’t think that they have an idea of what’s going on.
Q. So you’re saying, no, he didn’t scold him, Scott?
MR. McCLELLAN: No. Go ahead.
Q. Wait, do you want to finish that? Do you want to finish with John?
MR. McCLELLAN: I don’t know where that’s coming from. I certainly have not heard anything of that nature.
Q. Then are you saying, no, he didn’t scold him?
MR. McCLELLAN: That’s what I just said, John. I have no idea where that’s coming from.
Q. Okay. I just wanted to hear the answer. Assuming Tommy Thompson and Tom Ridge resign in the next day or so, that means that more than half — (laughter) — I’m not asking you to address that, I’m not asking you –
MR. McCLELLAN: You’re just asking me to assume that. (Laughter.)
