If you work for a regular company, employees have to sign a non-compete claus and other legal documents promising not to diparage or damage the company and it’s reputation, now or in the future, yada, yada, yada.

Can’t the government get it’s sh*t together and do something similar to prevent these asshats from making a profit off of their positions of trust???

[syriacus]

So... McClellan is saying he was a Grade A dupe?

[Wallace T.]

Scott McClellan married Jill Martinez, who also worked at the White House, in 2003. At least one homosexual blog tried to “out” him, alleging that he frequented gay bars in Austin.

*****Is Scott MARRIED? ****

Apparently not - he seems like a Mama’s boy.

Sounds like someone is angling for a job at ABCNNMSNBCBS, emphasis on the BS, especially in this case. Old Scotty boy has a serious case of Gergenitis, which sadly is an uncurable degenerative disease.

That said, you do have to wonder why the Bush WH kept him around so long. I never thought he was particularly effective or strong “voice” of the administration.

Hmmmmm.....last nite watching Mike Allen talk about Scott’s book just brought up the word “GAY” to me.....

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPSSSSSSSSSS

ME BAD

SORRY;(

[canuck_conservative]

You posted that, to imply that even Slick thought Saddam had to be attacked.

One problem: that wasn’t really why Clinton did it then.

... because he knew that three days later would be his impeachment vote, and he needed something to unify and rally support around him, and Iraq was an easy target.

I remember those waning days of ‘98. In the words of former S-O-S Lawrence Eagleburger, the reasons for that attack “stunk to high heaven”.

sorry - should have read the whole thing:(

[tobyhill]

MSNBC will be offering him a job real soon.

[Kaslin]

I have never cared for McClellan. It was a sign of relief when he left

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

...admits to having been deceived by some in the president's inner circle about the leak of a CIA operative's name.

How can anybody be misled on a story that was bogus from the start?

[shadowgovernment]

“Does the book cover the part where the President of the United States hires the inarticulate half wit stuttering son of big mouthed Texas crony to be his press secretary?”
>>>................................
W picked these people, left clinton’s buddies in all the
depts in DC.
W's history will be one of incompetence and the left will
gain from it. Sad to say He never got it..open borders and illegal immigration came first above all else for him..shaking head while walking away, what could have been with a GOP majority in both houses and a president, what opportunities were lost, a nations future flushed down the drain.

[omega4179]

I already had viewed mclellan as a major dud who’s lack of press skills did a great disservice to HIS employer his boss the president.

[sodpoodle]

Powell disagreed with W and left.
Ashcroft & Rumsfeld fell on their own swords.

Presidential politics for a GOP president means having to defend your administration against hourly media onslaughts. If a team member keeps drawing flak - you cover his back...and when honorable (Ashcroft & Rumsfeld) they take cover or take the heat.

[Ooh-Ah]

Didn’t his mother run for an office a few years ago and Bush supported her opponent?

[Lurking in Kansas]

...you do have to wonder why the Bush WH kept him around so long...

Because GWB is loyal to a fault.

[SMARTY]

NOW he objects to the administration policy!!! Oh, I get it!! Election time... money to be made in a tell-all book, no matter how much he incriminates himself to do it!!! What a money grubbing creep

[4integrity]

Scott McClellan was a sniveling wimp when he was the WH spokesman....and now he’s a bigger sniveling, whining, wimp. He needs to crawl back under his rock or maybe the rock thru him out too....

[The Hound Passer]

Don’t forget about Libby. Talk about falling on your sword!
