What I hear about the book does not sound like the Scott McClellan I knew for two years. I can say, without fear of contradiction, that I knew Scott better than any other White House correspondent or Washington reporter.

Pentecostals believe they experience the power of the Holy Spirit at various times. I believe that also since I have experienced it first-hand. It's not something that can be easily explained.

I have come to understand what being a public person means. I don't let things I can't do anything about bother me.

All my stories were usually titled, 'White House Says,' 'President Bush Wants,' and I relied on transcripts from the briefings. I relied on press releases that were sent to the press for the purpose of accurately portraying what the White House believed or wanted.

I drink a lot of everything; beer while watching football. I have a taste for whiskey, but Jack Daniels and ginger is about as fancy as it gets with me.

I have always had an attorney on retainer, and now I believe I will have to put him to work.

I judge each person on individual merits.
