From today's White House Press Beefing:
Q I just have a quick question on Karl Rove's new and expanded role. Will he attend National Security Council meetings in this role, and will he participate in the President's daily intelligence briefings?
MR. McCLELLAN: No, on the latter. I don't expect any change in that. It's just like the previous Deputy Chief of Staff; he'll do the same thing that the previous Deputy Chief of Staff --
Q Well, what is --
MR. McCLELLAN: Well, let me back up, because there is an exception to this. The Deputy Chiefs of Staff essentially represent the Chief of Staff in various meetings and help to make sure that the process for developing policy is flowing smoothly, that it's open and it's fair and that it's moving along.
So I'm guessing the exception is that NOW the Deputy Chief of Staff will make sure that the process is NOT flowing smoothly, is NOT open and fair and is NOT moving along.
Well, instead Scotty goes on to say a bunch of other impenetrable poppycock, but I still think I'm right.
In general, I think you are pretty much wrong..mostly.
