The hat tip for this post goes to LGF reader John Williams in Texas.
The company that published Scott McClellan’s new Bush-bashing book is Public Affairs Books, and their Editor at Large is a guy named Peter Osnos: About The Century Foundation.
The owner of Public Affairs Books is a company called Perseus Book Group. Here’s their ownership tree: Perseus Books Home.
The firm is owned by Perseus Funds Group, (holding company Perseus LLC) a capital management firm that grew from about $20 million in 1995 to over $2 billion now. Big infusions of cash seemed to help it grow exponentially and it closed funds almost as fast as it opened them. The board has tons of liberals from the Clinton and Carter Administrations with credentials that almost put Osnos’ to shame as far as far left causes go. Their website is here: PERSEUS - merchant bank and private equity fund management.
If you go to the New York Department of State web site and enter “Perseus” in the “Business Organization” search, you get this on page 2 of the results:
Hi, George!
Mine, too. I am a Republican officer in my county, and I have outed several turncoats, and done my best to derail their political careers.
We only have only democrat elected to countywide office. We also only have one Republican official that I think still has democrat tendencies.
How embarrassing for Scotty.
Glad this is getting continued play.
Some hr. ago on the Mark Levin Live Thread a number
of FReepers put this same info together.
I guess the Soros crowd thought some conservatives couldn’t connect the dots on this crowd.
One of the clowns on the Perseus Board is the Professional Liberal,Richard Holbrooke
Whores aren’t easily embarrassed.
MR. FLEISCHER....after Scott left the White House, he went on TV shows and defended President Bush and the war. So I don’t know what changed so dramatically for Scott in the last few months, several months, that led him to write a book that was so different from everything I saw about Scott personally and privately.
Something changed. And there are parts of this book that just don’t sound like Scott. Scott, to me, will always be a friend and somebody who I always relied on. And I don’t know what could have led him to have such a dramatic change of heart.
And I talked to Scott yesterday.
MR. CHADWICK: You did?
MR. FLEISCHER: Yeah, and Scott and I remain close. And that’s one of the reasons I’m so heartbroken about this. Scott told me that this book really did change. And he said this book ended up a lot different from the way it got started. He told me he didn’t know if he could write a book like this a year ago.
MR. CHADWICK: So when this story broke, you called him and spoke with him.
MR. FLEISCHER: Well, actually, I called Scott because Scott and I frequently – we periodically have kept in touch ever since he left the White House. And when Scott and I, we got together – gosh –a year and a half ago for breakfast. And I remember talking to Scott about the book and he told me how good it was going to be for President Bush.

The temptation of Judas Iscariot by Satan is the analogy that comes to mind...
Or a Director of the Office of Management and Budget - like David Stockman.
Methinks Scottie is a pervert and someone has video.
a Scotty - Soros thread ping

Scotty’s dad also thinks LBJ had JFK killed.
Scotty’s family needs serious help

Very interesting!
Scottie has a bunch of TV appearances lineds up—let’s see how this plays out.
This quisling sounds like he is being blackmailed, which would be a plausible explanation for his sudden turn to the dark side.
Did Scottie ‘s Dad write a book accusing LBJ being involved in JFK death ? I read that somewhere ? He worked at LBJ's law firm .
see post 52
How can someone who knows no shame be embarrassed?
Sex In The City was a series, too.
Some whores like to flaunt it.
