Another Republican president screwed by another McClellan.

They never learn.

Sigh.

I sit here so frustrated.

Wouldn’t all this hysteria, this big deal piece of nothing story that is only the Perils of Pauline to those living on a cloud in Washington DC, be simply put to rest if Bush would just use the bully pulpit and end it in its tracks?

Why doesn’t Bush just put out a statement that reads, to the effect...”I regret that this administration’s former Press Secretary has published what we can only consider untruths in a recent book...but I would remind the American public that it was CONGRESS, yes our House or Reps and our Senate, who voted to takes this country to war in Iraq. If it is Scott McClellan’s contention that this was a bad decision, he has no right to change history. “

In other words, it’s always about this supposed “illegal war” and lies about this war and the libs are determined that Bush’s legacy, including I would remind, every precious member of our military, reflect Iraq as his own private decision and a failure. When it was CONGRESS that approved that war.

I’m tired of seeing life so simply but damn any fool can see the Dems are working from presenting a hysterical, constantly repeated until it becomes true rant....and the administration should, using simple common sense but what the hell would be wrong with just saying that bit about congress over and over and hey, the ladies at the beauty parlor will hear it too?

Or maybe that would just take all the fun out of it. Those political elites live on some lala cloud that in no way approximates our own lives, us fools who carry this country on our backs.

Bah humbug.

Maybe the publisher went looking for him. Or maybe McClellan's mama was the one who did the looking around.

I'll tell you what, after I saw who published the book I don't know how anybody's taking the dang thing seriously.

This reminds me of the 180 degree turn by Scott Ritter when it was later discovered that a Saddam middleman had given him $400,000 to change his story. Similar deal. His publisher publishes lots of left wing trash including books by Soros. On H&C tonight someone reported that Ari Fleischer said McClelland told him that after he had finished his part he allowed his editor to change a number of things, including the title.

All we need to do is get G. Gordon Liddy to invite Scottie over for a chat. Putting the pencils away is optional.

“I would not hire Scott to pick up dog crap in my yard after his WH work.”

Which brings up an interesting point that Ari Fleisher brought up on Fox & Friends this morning. McClellan better enjoy his “celebrity” while it lasts and his new friends on the left. They will drop him like a hot potato as soon as they have gotten what they need from him. He also said that McClellan’s career in government will be extremely limited...anyone willing to trust a snitch with their secrets is a damn fool! (Fleisher didn’t say that by the way, but I do)
