And a great deal besides. No new revelations here, except for the name of the source, an Administration insider who was W’s man from back in the Texas days.

Outrage fatigue.
Wow. Only an insider could possibly have figured any of that out.

He’s selling a book, too. Color me surprised.
I have long suspected as much.
Well, I’m shocked. Shocked!

Here I thought there was a storm coming by the rumbling I heard, but I guess it was actually 99% of the worlds population turning around and saying “Well, duh!”
The only good this might do is remind people what a douche Bush is while McCain is painted as Bush Jr during the election. And it’s kinda bad timing for that.
Well, I was reading the right wing blogs today, and it turns out that Scotty is a child molester and a drug addict. He rapes goats and pisses on war monuments. He often would pleasure himself behind the podium, and received 3 million dollars from Al Queda to publish his lies.
He is clearly lying.
It’s a hell of a drug.

Too bad these folks never seem to grow principles about truth-telling until years after they’ve left the administration.
The Bush stuff isn’t news, though it’s nice to see more of it confirmed by someone so close to the source.
But what’s despicable is how McClellan blames the media for not doing its job in being more diligent about challenging the administration and its assertions. “Hey guys! Remember when, during the times I wasn’t overtly lying to you, I was being endlessly evasive, parsing my language, and using straw men as cover so as to not have to answer the questions you were asking me all those years? Well, that was your fault!” :rolleyes:
Please note that I agree that the media did largely shirk its responsibility in keeping the administration more accountable. But for McClellan to be the one to take such a lofty, high-minded attitude about the role of the 4th estate–when he was chief purveyor of propaganda and spin for BushCo–is beneath contempt.
Preach it.
For once, I’d like to have someone call a press conference in the middle of the shit storm and say, “OK, now that I have your attention…here’s what’s really going on.”
Actually, I can sort of understand that. I may have done cocaine once, but I don’t know for sure. I was at a party and was offered it numerous times and I recall turning it down repeatedly. But I was also drinking VERY heavily and can’t discount the possibility that I said yes once. I would like to believe that said no everytime, but I’ll probably never be 100% certain.
That was my first thought too.
I think the appearance of this book tells us more about Scott McClellan than it does about the Bush administration. I wish one of them would say, during their resignation speech, that the reason they’re resigning is that they can no longer act as the spokesperson for such a corrupt administration.
The appearance of this book was as predictable as the rising sun anyway. The standard career path for so many business and political insiders nowdays seems to be a tell-all book, usually a self-serving piece of shit designed to make themselves look good, and then doing the rounds of the talk shows. I hope no-one buys his book, and that the publisher loses money on it.
My sarcastic post from above seems to be bearing fruit. Rove has called him “out of the loop” and others are saying that he was in over his head and not intelligent enough for the job.
Let the slander commence.
Oh, yes, he’s a rat!
And when a rat abandons a ship, what does that tell you about the ship? 
I heard Rove said “he sounds like a left wing blogger”.
Odd how no one at the time thought he was “over his head and not intelligent enough for the job”.
