Fleischer, Fitzwater: 1, McClellan: 0

Looks like the White House Press Secretary Alumni Club isn’t as tight as we thought. Both Ari Fleischer and Marlin Fitzwater have criticized the White House’s handling of the Cheney shooting.

Ari:

    “It would have been better if the vice president and/or his staff had come out last Saturday night or first thing Sunday morning and announced it,” he said during a phone interview Tuesday. “It could have and should have been handled differently.”

Fitzwater:

    Former White House Press Secretary Marlin Fitzwater criticized Vice President Dick Cheney Tuesday for delaying the release of information about his hunting accident on Saturday, saying Cheney “ignored his responsibility to the American people.”
