…when you’ve realized that you’re working for an administration that has lied to the American people about… well about every fucking thing… to just quit your job, go out and find the biggest bunch of microphones you can and then scream at the top of your lungs, “Hey, America, I got something really important to say”?
I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m quite appreciative that Scotty way-too-pasty, reminds-me-a-little-of-an-overstuffed-glazed-jelly-donut McC finally came out and writing what we already knew to be true, but the whole “book deal” of it chaps my seat heater.
Thirteen months.
Really?
Over four hundred days during which the war was still killing people sixty years too early,
Karl and Scooter were still making a mockery of the American constitution and Dana was.. well… she was pulling what I’ll now call a Scott McClellan!
And you, sir? You were doing what all those hours?
Were you trying to figure out whether or not to re-edit that paragraph on page 67?
Were you sitting down with another photographer for the book jacket?
We’re you jauntily listening in on conference calls, discussing the TV chat tour while, say… Governor Siegelman sat in jail, the victim of the SAME KIND OF LIES from the EXACT SAME SET OF PEOPLE you spend page after page exfoliating in that little tome you were so highly compensated for?
I’m just asking.
Again, VERY APPRECIATIVE for your coming forth, while still feeling the need to remind you that the Today Show and Hardball and Countdown ALL EXISTED back then as well.
So, to the next potential Scotty McClellan who, if I’m lucky is reading these words on some ages old PC in a tiny government office (do they allow The Daily Kos in Washington D.C. these days?)… do us all the favor when you decide that you’ve just plain fucking had enough and GO TO THE PRESS FIRST… GO TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FIRST… COME FORTH AND BE PART OF THE DISMANTLING OF QUITE POSSIBLY THE MOST CORRUPT GOVERNEMENT THIS COUNTRY HAS EVER KNOWN.
We promise… we’ll still buy the book.

…well the early end of Friday.
case he was after all the mouth piece for them. He had the mike right there. While he may have a glimmering of something wrong I don’t believe he has truly grasped the moral aspect of it. To him Bush will always be a good ol boy, who took bad advice, and let him down. The magnitude of corruption the meaning of corruption, are incomprehensible to his limited soul. Most revealing was the blank look he gave KO when he asked him how democracy can be established with killing and torture. I kept asking myself as he waxed on about what a great governor Bush was didn’t the fact that he gleefully executed more people then ever before give you pause?
… Discrediting Administration critic Richard Clarke. Keith Olbermann reported that McClellan, as WH
propagandistpress secretary worked to discredit Clark:There was even a clip of McClellan calling Clarke “disgruntled” after the release of Clarke’s book criticizing bush for ignoring the intelligence about bin laden.
If I had to guess why McClellan waited to speak up, I’d say one reason was he knew that he was going to be smeared and ridiculed by the bushies. Maybe it took him this long to work up the courage to stand up & wait to be smacked down by the bushies. Then again, maybe he was just running out of money and needed the book royalties. Or maybe he was royally ticked at bush for dumping him & hiring Snowjob. Maybe it was a combination of the above. If McClellan isn’t afflicted with the GOP “I Can’t Recall” syndrome, we may get some insight into his motives:
Although the current WH
propagandistPerino said today that The WH Can Block McClellan from Testifying to Congress… Cue the “Godfather” music…I was really hoping you would write about the keffiyeh kerfuffle Jeffrey.
I could use a good laugh right about now.
