McClellan to Become White House Spokesman
.c The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - Scott McClellan, the No. 2 spokesman at the White House and a longtime loyalist to President Bush, will succeed Ari Fleischer as White House press secretary, administration officials said.
McClellan, 35, will oversee a news media communications team of about a dozen people and will move into the spacious West Wing office of Fleischer, who is leaving to spend more time with his wife after two decades in public life.
The next press secretary dates back about a decade with Bush, whom he first met while working on campaigns for his mother, Carole Keeton Strayhorn.
Administration officials said McClellan does not plan sweeping changes in the press shop, which has fiercely stuck to its preordained ``message of the day'' through two and a half years of the Bush White House.
But McClellan is well liked by reporters for his disarming humor, and respected by his colleagues for his command of a broad array of issues.
Indeed, it is, friend. hehe
