The White House Briefing Retroactive Drinking Game: "Shadowy"

Talking points? What talking points? (Guess "nefarious coalitions" didn't test as well.)

And the President said he wanted to work together to pursue court action to shut down all the ads and activity by theseshadowy 527 groups. . . .The President thought we got rid of all of this kind ofshadowy activitywhen he signed the campaign finance reforms into law. . .. And so the President reached out to Senator McCain to say, let's work together and pursue court action to shut down all of this activity by theseshadowy groups. . . .The President condemns all the ads and activity by theseshadowy groups. . . All, all the ads and activity by theshadowy groups. That would include everything that theseshadowy groupsare involved in. . . The President wants Senator Kerry to join us in calling for a stop to all of the ads and activity by theseshadowy groups. The President has condemned all of this activity by theseshadowy groups. . . And so the President looks forward to working with Senator McCain to pursue court action to shut down all of this activity by theseshadowy groups.

As a friend of ours observed, "Scott McClellan, the political version of an orange parking cone."
