- DeskFlyer, on 05/28/2008, -10/+90Said current White House press secretary Dana Perino, "We are puzzled. It is sad. This is not the Scott we knew."
That's because he's no longer a lying douche like you are right now. - SheilaNoya, on 05/28/2008, -10/+37McClellan's book has become the #1 Best Seller on Amazon.com in less than 24 hours.
America LOVES a scandal, especially when it involves the most hated president we've ever had.
I wonder if Bush will put a copy of this book in his Presidential Library? - gypsi, on 05/29/2008, -5/+30sending perino out to stooge on this is absolutely hilarious. it illustrates everything mclellan is saying perfectly.
- chrisbaskind, on 05/29/2008, -5/+26Congress should now subpoena McClellan to make the "propaganda" statement under oath.
- peticsu, on 05/28/2008, -8/+27oooh snap...
lets have a DOUCHEOFF! - totorototoro, on 05/29/2008, -6/+24Notice how they all focus on the exact same talking points? "This is not the Scott I knew and worked with" "Why didn't Scott come out with his concerns at the time?" "Scott never brought this up while he was here"
All written by Rove and distributed this morning by email no doubt (which he promptly accidentally deleted ) :p - grlykool, on 05/28/2008, -3/+15The MSM knew too. I blame the war and the housing crisis on the MSM.
- edmondburke, on 05/28/2008, -16/+27Well, well - we are getting closer and closer to the truth - the First American President, and Presidenial Administration, of War Criminals! Now its time action was taken and the guilty made to pay.
I rest my long enduring case. - inactive, on 05/29/2008, -0/+11Scott McClellan's father is Barr McClellan. He wrote a book titled "Blood, Money and Power; How LBJ Killed JFK". Read it. He had inside information as a member of the Clark law firm.

My guess is Scott's father convinced him to tell the truth to the American public. - ConAmoreEFuoco, on 05/29/2008, -0/+9And Dana Perino doesn't know what the Cuban Missile Crisis was. So I wouldn't put too much weight on what or who she knows or doesn't know.
- loggia, on 05/29/2008, -2/+10Dana Perino: The reason I look like I've aged about 10 years in the last two is because
(a) telling the truth and being open with the American people is stressful and unhealthy
(b) lying and concealing things from the American people is stressful and unhealthy
Hmm, I wonder which one it is? - loggia, on 05/29/2008, -7/+15For those conservatives who are vilifying McClellan, let's see if this tracks:
If he did quit during the administration and speak out, you would call him a TRAITOR...
If he did as he is doing now, you call him a LIAR...
If he kept his mouth shut... you'd call him LOYAL.
Brilliant. - buckrogers1965, on 05/29/2008, -2/+9I can't wait for the Tony Snow and Dana Perino books.
- AndrewDB, on 05/29/2008, -3/+10Along side the Clifford: The Big Red Dog and Spot books?..
I wouldn't bet on it. - Pillage, on 05/29/2008, -9/+16Could we get an AP article detailing the White House's response? You know, something written by a real journalist.
- PhilLesh69, on 05/29/2008, -1/+7wierd, I didn't see my first comment, so I reposted another one, then it appeared.
Oh well. redundancy is good sometimes. Sometimes redundancy is good. - Berkana, on 05/29/2008, -4/+10Off course? The Bush administration had determined to invade Iraq from the very beginning of the administration:
Paul O'Neil exposed that Bush planned the invasion of Iraq starting 10 days after the inauguration, with oil maps and lists of foreign suitors for Iraqi oil field contracts in consideration:

- pintomp3, on 05/29/2008, -2/+8that's the best talking point they could come up with?
- 1dog, on 05/29/2008, -5/+10Obviously the timing is weak. This guy is only interested in getting paid. Like everyone else in Washington he wants to get paid.Of course he can't be a lobbyist so he has to write this book.
- inactive, on 05/29/2008, -2/+7no. McClellan's definitely a douche. He had plenty of time to come out and now he does it conveniently at the same time he launches his book. That's total doucheyness.
- Obliviate, on 05/29/2008, -2/+7Don't you in the US have something called being an "accessory"? In Australia, if someone knows about a crime and doesn't come forth, it's called being an accessory to the crime before OR after the fact.
But then again, you Americans invented the term "conflict of interest" and never seem to enforce that one either. - Rovian, on 05/29/2008, -3/+8Discrediting the messenger and pooh-poohing the message has been used so many times the shtick has gotten old.
Saying Scotty is disgruntled or did it for the money is predictable and shallow. In all likelihood he did receive a very attractive severance package, and could have continued to tow the line. He could have written a book titled Why Bush is the best president ever, and it would have been gobbled up by delusional right-tards from coast to coast. Dick Cheney would have purchased the first ten truckloads just to get it on the best sellers list. He could have had speaking engagements and the lucrative fees that go with them, and all he had to do was continue jacking off every drooling right-tard in the echo chamber from the Discovery Institute to the Club for Growth.
That someone on that wrong side of the aisle actually develops a conscious is so remarkable it causes instant head explosions and a seething rage among a thick headed following that genuinely doesn't get it. Willful ignorance has no capacity for self doubt.
The jig is up right-tards, the first step is admitting you have a problem. Step 9 is making apologies to everyone you've hurt. Get yourselves checked into a clinic you sick f@cks. - magus_melchior, on 05/29/2008, -1/+6How about el Washington Post?
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/artic ... - magus_melchior, on 05/29/2008, -1/+5If the two are essentially equivalent, why not use the one provided?
If complaining to the digg admins didn't work, what's the point in bitching about it here? - Groovydoo, on 05/29/2008, -1/+5This could put Bush in jail; screw impeachment. He will be a citizen in six-an-a-half-months and it won't take an act of congress to have him arrested. Watch him get pulled before congress.
- RajAtWork, on 05/29/2008, -4/+8What the hell is World Court and why _any_ American should be forced before it?
- PeterODactyl, on 05/29/2008, -0/+4Don't forget My Pet Goat.
- Hangly, on 05/29/2008, -0/+4http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited_hangout
A limited hangout is a form of deception, misdirection, or coverup often associated with intelligence agencies involving a release or "mea culpa" type of confession of only part of a set of previously hidden sensitive information, that establishes credibility for the one releasing the information who by the very act of confession appears to be "coming clean" and acting with integrity; but in actuality by withholding key facts is protecting a deeper crime and those who could be exposed if the whole truth came out. In effect, if an array of offenses or misdeeds is suspected, this confession admits to a lesser offense while covering up the greater ones. - headzoo, on 05/29/2008, -3/+7So the lies told by the White House would some how differ if they were repeated by a reputable news source?
- Arkonnan, on 05/29/2008, -0/+4> That's because he's no longer a lying douche like you are right now.
No, he's an opportunistic douche who is trying to sell a book. Where was his inflated sense of moral superiority when we were being lied to in the first place? - BlacklabelSAR, on 05/29/2008, -0/+4I hope that everyone noticed that since McClellan criticized the the media in his book, how most of the MSM is joining in the dicreditation of McLellan?
- SaladCactusKing, on 05/29/2008, -6/+10God, Perino is such a *****.
- paigeinphilly, on 05/29/2008, -4/+8Wait...now they are trying to sell that same load of horse hooky about IRAN...along with Faux news of course.
umm humm...
Obama/Webb 08 - XternalHD, on 05/29/2008, -2/+5I could of sworn I heard that guy say on CNN that Bush is a "master mind manipulator".
- Inflammo, on 05/29/2008, -7/+10BREAKING: The Bush Administration still lies

Cheney has always wanted to have the power of a dictator without the consequences of being an obvious target. Let's eliminate the possibility of the latter. - diceau, on 05/29/2008, -4/+7The one thing Bush can do properly is pretend he's done nothing wrong.

Although I just realized the US hasn't joined. :x - loggia, on 05/29/2008, -4/+7Uh... let's see.
If he did quit during the administration and speak out, you would call him a traitor.
If he did as he is doing now, you call him a liar.
If he kept his mouth shut... you'd call him loyal.
Brilliant. - PhilLesh69, on 05/29/2008, -1/+4I only had my hand in the cookie jar because I saw a fly, and I wanted to shoo him away. I wasn't trying to steal the cookie, I just didn't want the fly to contaminate the cookies.
I'm actually a hero, not a villain. - PhilLesh69, on 05/29/2008, -0/+3If the Germans were not defeated in WWII, you would have seen the same trickle of truth coming out over the years.
I'm sure he's trying to make money. We all are. But If he is doing so while actually telling some amount of truth, that only means that his motives are not 100% about making money.
He could very easily sell a book that doesn't expose these inconvenient truths about his former boss. After all, he has now alienated himself from all the other people who still blindly benefit from Bush. He has surely lost support, credibility and job opportunities amongst that crowd. - inactive, on 05/29/2008, -1/+4Right on! What a bunch of STUPID Americans to vote these ***** in twice. Like most sane people is this country didn't know it was all lies anyway.
- PhilLesh69, on 05/29/2008, -1/+4Yea, I put my hand in the cookie jar. But only because I was trying to shoo away a fly. I didn't want the fly to land on the cookies. I didn't steal a cookie, I was simply trying to protect the cookies from being contaminated by a fly landing on them.
See? I'm not a thief, I'm actually a hero! - PhilLesh69, on 05/29/2008, -0/+3Damn, I made the same comment before I saw your's.
There are a few people who pay attention to, and remember, history :) - bugsy187, on 05/29/2008, -0/+2Try the Bush administration for the war crime of aggression.
- toddcat, on 05/29/2008, -5/+7Funny....apparently 90% of the world is insane and only the Bush administration and its allies (until they see the light) are sane. Dana Perino says this is not the Scott she knew. Let's wait until she has a book to sell or if she has any second thoughts.
- yosserhughes, on 05/29/2008, -5/+7Commenting on McClellan's book a member of the Bush WH team, (who wishes to remain anonymous), stated; "We knew things were going bad when we found child pornography on Scott's computer. That was after the Crack Cocaine and Gay hooker incident, and before his ties to Al Queda were uncovered. We could have forgiven him these peccadillo's, but selling WMD to Iran really was going too far, and finally, after sexually molesting Jenna and her dog in her bedroom; well that was just the last straw. Oh, and did I mention the time we found him conducting a Satanic ritual in the Oval office; one more minute and the baby would have been skewered and Beelzebub himself would have risen to start his 1000 year reign of Hell on Earth. But please don't quote me"
- radiofrequency, on 05/29/2008, -2/+4I bet you'll call McClellan a liar again when he recants everything in sworn testimony before congress.
