	Mike McCurry
		McCurry was a familiar face on television during his 3 1/2 years as Clinton's spokesman, standing behind the White House podium day after day and sparring with reporters on topics ranging from the Whitewater investigation and the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal to weighty foreign and domestic policy matters.
		McCurry said he has been back to the White House just twice, most recently in February when the briefing room was named in honor of Jim Brady, the former press secretary who was wounded in 1981 during the assassination attempt on President Reagan.
		McCurry said the scandal, which involved Clinton's effort to conceal his illicit sexual affair with the one-time White House intern and led to the president's impeachment, was a "surrealistic experience," and certainly something he never imagined happening.

		Mike McCurry : As a person who has been involved in a lot of conventions you get a pretty good sense of how things are going and this convention is going extremely well for both the party and the ticket.
		Mccurry, that little girl (Ilana, I don't rememeber her last name) wowed me. I think she could be President in 23 years.
		Mike McCurry : Kerry and Edwards are no doubt liberal as you would probably define it, but they are assuredly not "socialistic" They have voted for strong defense budgets but they have voted against some weapons systems that are redundant and that even the Pentagon has had a hard time justifying.

		MCCURRY: No, in the ministry to him and to his family by people of faith that he respects, part of the pastoral care that's being given to him is the kind of pastoral counseling one would expect.
		MCCURRY: I don't know for a fact that she has, but she was there this morning at the breakfast and I think had the opportunity to talk to the President.
		MCCURRY: As a political matter, the President wants this expeditiously resolved for all the reasons that a politician would want this matter resolved, particularly because, as you now see, we believe we have a very strong case to say that there should be no consideration of impeachment because nothing arises that warrants impeachment.

	Mike McCurry - How to be a pro. By David Plotz
		McCurry subsequently served as spokesman for the 1984 John Glenn presidential campaign, the 1988 Bruce Babbitt presidential campaign, the 1988 Lloyd Bentsen vice-presidential campaign, and the 1992 Bob Kerrey presidential campaign—four woeful efforts.
		As press secretary, McCurry was political enough to explain a presidential position—even an untenable one—with eloquence and a straight face; honest (and cynical) enough to wink at reporters and whisper his real views to them later; ironic enough to joke about it all on the press plane a month afterward.
		McCurry has never been, and never wants to be, one of the inner-circle obsessives who will do anything—including lie, cheat, and steal—to help their boss.

		MCCURRY: His -- the only, I guess, new-new aspect of this today is going to be -- there will actually be some very specific discussions of the kind of testing elements that we foresee for the 4th grade reading and 8th grade mathematics component.
		MCCURRY: What really cost Senator Hatch was the leader of his party indicating that this was a deal breaker and that he would pull the budget resolution down if the Kennedy-Hatch amendment passed, to be candid about it.
		MCCURRY: Because a balanced budget agreement that includes 5 million covered kids at a cost of $16 billion with all the other worthy objectives of the balanced budget amendment is a very important historic achievement of this Congress and this President.

		MCCURRY: It's so hard to predict the future on this matter and a lot of it depends on to what extent this continues to be a preoccupation of all of you and official Washington.
		MCCURRY: I think you could have predicted a week ago that the American public would have had a reaction that enough is enough and let's move on to doing the work that we were all elected and brought here to Washington to do.
		MCCURRY: Well, it's the Congress that has a responsibility under the Constitution to appropriate and they have not lived up to that responsibility because they haven't completed the appropriations process, and it is obvious now that they will not do so by the end of the fiscal year, Wednesday.

		MCCURRY: I take the position that the President and the First Lady and their family and who they entertain in the residence is their business.
		MCCURRY: Well, I can't assess the specific developments, but I can tell you, generally, as we often say, the health of these emerging economies, particularly those economies that are emerging from communist command and control economics, is a vital part of what is now a interdependent, global economy.
		MCCURRY: Well, the condition of the Russian economy and the work we're doing to support the transition occurring in Russia has always been an element of every discussion he's had with President Yeltsin and that other senior officials of our government have had with their counterparts.

	Farewell to the Mike McCurry show - October 1, 1998
		McCurry has been the public face of the White House spin machine, the first spokesman to allow his daily briefings to be televised.
		But when the Monica Lewinsky story broke, McCurry proudly proclaimed himself to be "out of the loop." He couldn't respond to questions about President Clinton and the intern -- in fact, he didn't want to know the answers.
		After succeeding Dee Dee Myers at the famous podium, McCurry tried to be an ambassador between a president, who disdained the press, and reporters, who didn't much trust the president.

		MIKE McCURRY: Those questions that are unanswerable that everyone would like to have answers to, prosecutors or people working for the independent counsel have examined.

	IS MIKE McCURRY A SPINNER OR A LIAR? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		McCurry made that claim again just one day after "60 Minutes" aired an interview with Kathleen Willey, who claims she was groped and fondled by the president.
		When McCurry interrupted, suggesting the topic was out-of-bounds, the reporter shot back, "I have the right to ask this question." Another journalist followed-up, asking for a serious answer, and McCurry insisted that the president had not been treated for a sexual disorder.
		McCurry also stumbled badly on questions about why Kathleen Willey was given several important jobs by the White House after her encounter with Clinton.
