Editor's note: Each week, WorldNetDaily White House correspondent Les Kinsolving asks the tough questions almost no one else will ask. And each week, WorldNetDaily brings you the transcripts of those dialogues with the president and his spokesman.

At today's White House news briefing, WND asked presidential press secretary Scott McClellan about the Palestinian Authority's online publishing of the fraudulent "Protocols of the Elders of Zion."

WND: From Jerusalem, WorldNetDaily's bureau chief reports that an official Palestinian Authority information website has published on its Arabic language section a copy of the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion." And my first question – will the president, when he hosts PA President Mahmoud Abbas on Thursday ask him why they are publishing this notorious anti-Semitic forgery, and why Abbas hasn't repudiated his doctoral thesis denying the Holocaust?

McCLELLAN: Let me just say that the president has spoken out strongly against anti-Semitism wherever it exists, and he has stood firmly for ending anti-Semitism in this world. We stand with Israel when it comes to that issue.

And in terms of President Abbas coming to the White House, the president looks forward to welcoming him back to the White House, this time as president of the Palestinian Authority. And I think the focus of the meeting this week will really be on the Gaza disengagement plan that Prime Minister Sharon outlined. We need to make sure that that is successful.

WND: Congressman Barney Frank has for the second time publicly denounced Democratic National Chairman Howard Dean for Dean's repeatedly saying that Majority Leader Tom DeLay is likely to go to jail and should step down. My question: Does the president agree with Congressman Frank on this issue? And what was his reaction to Dean, as a physician, making fun of Limbaugh's battle against addiction to painkillers?

McCLELLAN: There's a Democratic National Committee. There's also a Republican National Committee. I think the best place to look for a response would be from the Republican National Committee when it comes to that. I think the president has made his views pretty clear when it comes to Leader DeLay. Leader DeLay is someone he considers a good friend and someone that we work very closely with to achieve important priorities for the American people. And that's what we will – WND: That evasive –

McCLELLAN: – that's what we will continue to do. I think we'll let others respond –

WND: That means the president really wants Dean to continue forever as Democratic Chairman, doesn't it?

McCLELLAN: We'll let – we'll let others respond. We'll let others respond to the Democratic National Committee chairman.
