Think YOUR Job Sucks?

Who has the worst job in America? Sure, we see survey after survey that ranks the worst jobs and usually something like coal miner or waitress or fruit picker tops the list. But I think that poor Scotty McClennan has the worst job in America. This poor schmuck is sent out day after day on national television to tell the same half truths, misrepresentations and outright lies that are the hallmarks of the Bush administration. Today he has to try to keep a straight face while claiming that Bush's cynical selective leaking of classified information was "in the public interest" rather than for political reasons. He then goes on to say that Bush decided to declassify and release some information to rebut "irresponsible and unfounded accusations" that the administration had manipulated or misused prewar intelligence to buttress its case for war. John Stewart's writers can't come up with anything funnier than this! But poor Scotty has to stand there and watch what little shred of personal integrity he has slip away as he repeats the same lies. At least he'll get a nice cushy job after this...probably as spokesman for Halliburton.
