Former Bush rodeo clown Scott McClellan creeped put of the primordial ooze long enough to write a book telling us what we already know. Thanks, Scott. We got it, buddy. Now, having said that, I would like to argue, very briefly, that McClellan is not as bad as other late converts. This is the press secretary we're talking about. Press secretaries are born to be ignored. He's just their lawyer in the court of public opinion. If not him, then someone else would have done the same job either a lot better like Tony Snow, or a lot worse like Dana Perino. But it doesn't matter and they're rarely in on anything significant. This is not Ari Fleischer (now that dude was evil) we're talking about here. This dude was in over head from the beginning.
Having said that, McClellan is a long way from redemption. I'll check out your book, Scott, because I believe in redemption, but if you want to really get on the right side, just be ready to testify in a court of law against all you're old buddies when the time comes.
The Daily Show covered McClellan's surreal 2006 departure. I don't think McClellan and Bush will be rocking in those rocking chairs talking about the good old days when he was press secretary after all.
