This is shamelessly stolen from Atrios. In re: the resignation of White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan and the search for his replacement:
CNN's John Roberts on how the job of White House press secretary would be described in a job listing:"Be willing to take it full in the face every day."
Random White House Press Secretary Fact: Nixon's Press Secretary during Watergate, Ronald Ziegler, started his professional career as one of those tour boat guides telling transparently not-funny jokes on the embarrassingly racist and imperialist Jungle Cruise at Disneyland. And he ended it feeding transparently not-true stories to the American people for the embarassingly racist and imperialist Nixon Administration. Zing!
