“I got the recipe from Patrick Kennedy!” “That’s really funny, Scott. Tony’s not around, is he?” [AP]

McClellan’s top secret real “last day” was yesterday, and the AP reports that, yes, he made brownies for the press corps. Clever reference to his entering the pantheon of gloriously unqualified and unprepared Administration appointees or simple good-naturedness? And what did Ari hand out on his last day? Razorblade-laced apples?

The story provides this fascinating glimpse of Scott’s next move:

McClellan is expected to spend some time on the speaking circuit, weigh whether to write a book and step in as an informal adviser to his mother, state comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn, in her bid to run as an independent to unseat Republican Gov. Rick Perry in Texas.

Translation: We have no **** ing idea what he’s doing next. Here some plausible stuff we made up. Frankly, we lost interest in him a year ago.

McClellan Spends Last Days Under the Radar [AP via Yahoo]

• CIA Director Porter Goss called it quits this week, and didn’t make up a reason for leaving. Not even the standard “time with my family” excuse, which of course makes us think it had something to do with the hookers or the gambling and payola. Anyway, he’s back on the gulf shore already, and everyone is waiting to hear who the next shady character to take over the job is going to be.

• Scott McClellan gave his last press conference on Friday. The door did not hit his ass on the way out.

• In a drug-addled haze, Patrick Kennedy drove his car into a concrete barrier early Thursday morning. We were so hoping it was an 8-ball he chased with a liter of plastic-bottle vodka, but it looks like Pat is just your average congressional pill-popper. To add insult to self-induced injury, he only made it three blocks away from the bar before he crashed, which is nothing new for him. This was the straw that broke the camel’s back, though, and he’s admitted powerlessness and is heading to rehab. Godspeed Patrick, we’ll probably see you there soon.

• All the breaking real news wore us out, so we took a little break to talk some smack about Elaine Chao.

• Crazy-ass Zacarias Moussaoui gets to spend the rest of his life at a supermax prison in South Park Florence, Colorado.

• Dick Cheney is featured in the June Vanity Fair. The article confirms a lot of suspicions about him being a bit of an odd duck and a “big time” **** .

• We almost forgot, there was huge party last weekend that we wrote all about after sobering up. Of course after the party, there’s the after-party, and after the party it’s the hotel lobby.

It begins in about 5 minutes. Pour out a 40 for him. Maybe this’ll be the one where he reveals that it was all a horrible, Ambien-induced hallucination.

We think it should be a clip show, or a slow-motion montage set to “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life).”
