Q Scott, a two-part. The Washington Post has published history professor emeritus Lewis Gould’s critique of the State of the Union speech as, in his words, “nothing but theater, meaningless annual ritual, continuous campaigning, a gaudy spectacle of ballyhoo and hype.” And my question: Since this professor emeritus is from the University of Texas in Austin, was he one of your teachers? (Laughter.)
MR. McCLELLAN: I don’t believe so.
Q Why aren’t the — you don’t believe so?
MR. McCLELLAN: I don’t recall him being one of my teachers. I don’t know if he was even there — when was that, 20 years ago, almost 20 years?
