WASHINGTON (CNN) — Former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan said Friday he would be willing to comply with a rumored congressional subpoena to discuss the administration’s handling of pre-war intelligence, telling CNN’s Wolf Blitzer he’d be “glad to share my views” if asked to testify.
Facing a firestorm over his book, McClellan also confirmed reports that he had apologized to Richard Clarke for questioning his honesty after the former counterterrorism official published his own book critical of the White House.
“That was part of our talking points at the time. I didn’t even read the book,” McClellan admitted Friday. “…And I think you’re seeing the same thing happening now at this White House, that information – or rather, that people are saying things about my motivations and about me in terms of this book, and they haven’t even had a chance to read the book, or haven’t taken the opportunity to read the book.
“I think that anyone who is objective who reads the book will see that it was a very tough process to come to these conclusions. It wasn’t easy to write these things.”

Time wounds all heels.
Lets do this, in “()” at the end of every McClellan article lets put (cause it will sell more books) and that can sub for Barf alert.
Within reason.
Ugh... as I said before, all these comparisons to Judas are insulting to Judas!
If this person has no honor, then they cannot feel guilty about their actions.
Testifying under oath is not “sharing your views”.
As Scott will no doubt learn.
Bring him on!
I hope he trips over a fire-ant hill and falls head first into quicksand.
McClellan isn’t a rat - He’s worse, he’s an idiot.
Put under oath by Conyers, Scotty boy, isn't going to asked for his "views" but for concrete "evidence" to hang around the Presidents neck to influence the 2008 election
I think that $75,000 advance he got will really feel like the 30 pieces of silver after it's all said and done
Interesting how this dirt bag couches each answer with, “That was my perspective,” “I thought that at that time,”. Blah, blah. Does he do any direct quotes at all? Such as, “The President lied?”
I hate to say this, but I really think that Scott McClellan will end up a lonely miserable man with no friends. Really sad in a way. He has burned his bridges and when the original swoon by the democrats is over they will forget him. He did not seem that smart as the press sec. and now I am convinced that he was nothing but a self-serving idiot all along. What the Bush administration ever saw in him is a mystery to me.
But a very useful idiot to certain factions.
He has a book to sell... it would not be selling at all without this publicity.
I never liked him when he worked as press secretary - he could never stand up for ANYthing, so naturally he’d fall for everything. So much of America has been completely and utterly corrupted by the love of money! I honestly feel the heart and soul of America is being waged over issues right now. And the saddest thing is that people will sell for the almighty dollar.
He’s Soros puppet. Been bought lock, stock and barrel.
He needs to enjoy his week of fame because when it is over, the liberal media will throw him away. Hope he like flipping hamburgers because no one else is going to hire a traitor like this for any job. If you traitor the POTUS, what would you do to a corporate pres? What would you do to co-workers in any job? Have fun Scot.
Republicans should insist that he testify. They should say these are very serious charges and congress needs to investigate. They need to get him under oath.
Views? What’s this about views? Waxman said Scott’s statements were Mb>admissions</b>. Hillary said the book was an apology. It would seem that Scott’s views are not germain to this discussion. If they are I would be delighted to testify under oath to my own views on the war, on its run-up, and on the treasonous Congressional malfeasance as we attempted to conduct this war.
So how much is Scott McClellan getting paid to be a traitorous jerk?
A man who cheats on his wife, will cheat on his wife. And a traitor who betrays the President will betray anybody.
He'll never have a position of responsibility again. Hope that book advance is large enough to support him in his old age, 'cause he won't even be able to sell used cars.
Let the games begin.................
Good thing I had a start on my Merlot before that one popped up!
You could have warned people before putting up a photo of Henry “Nostrilisis” Waxman! I ain’t getting any sleep tonight. BTW, can anyone do a side-by-side of Waxman and the final credit panel alien from the Original Star Trek Series?
This idiot is HOPING to be the next John Dean!
McClellan, you swine. You vulgar little maggot. You worthless bag of filth. As they say in Texas, I’ll bet you couldn’t pour piss out of a boot with instructions on the heel. You are a canker. A sore that won’t go away. I would rather kiss a lawyer than be seen with you.
You’re a putrescent mass, a walking vomit. You are a spineless little worm deserving nothing but the profoundest contempt. You are a jerk, a cad, a weasel. Your life is a monument to stupidity. You are a stench, a revulsion, a big suck on a sour lemon. You are a bleating foal, a curdled staggering mutant dwarf smeared richly with the effluvia and offal accompanying your alleged birth into this world. An insensate, blinking calf, meaningful to nobody, abandoned by the puke-drooling, giggling beasts who sired you and then killed themselves in recognition of what they had done.
I will never get over the embarrassment of belonging to the same species as you. You are a monster, an ogre, a malformation. I barf at the very thought of you. You have all the appeal of a paper cut. Lepers avoid you. You are vile, worthless, less than nothing. You are a weed, a fungus, the dregs of this earth. And did I mention you smell?
Try to edit your responses of unnecessary material before attempting to impress us with your insight. The evidence that you are a nincompoop will still be available to readers, but they will be able to access it more rapidly.
You snail-skulled little rabbit. Would that a hawk pick you up, drive its beak into your brain, and upon finding it rancid set you loose to fly briefly before spattering the ocean rocks with the frothy pink shame of your ignoble blood. May you choke on the queasy, convulsing nausea of your own trite, foolish beliefs.
You are weary, stale, flat and unprofitable. You are grimy, squalid, nasty and profane. You are foul and disgusting. You’re a fool, an ignoramus. Monkeys look down on you. Even sheep won’t have sex with you. You are unreservedly pathetic, starved for attention, and lost in a land that reality forgot.
And what meaning do you expect your delusionally self-important statements of unknowing, inexperienced opinion to have with us? What fantasy do you hold that you would believe that your tiny-fisted tantrums would have more weight than that of a leprous desert rat, spinning rabidly in a circle, waiting for the bite of the snake?
You are a waste of flesh. You have no rhythm. You are ridiculous and obnoxious. You are the moral equivalent of a leech. You are a living emptiness, a meaningless void. You are sour and senile. You are a disease, you puerile one-handed slack-jawed drooling meatslapper.
On a good day you’re a half-wit. You remind me of drool. You are deficient in all that lends character. You have the personality of wallpaper. You are dank and filthy. You are asinine and benighted. You are the source of all unpleasantness. You spread misery and sorrow wherever you go.
You smarmy lager-lout git. You bloody woofter sod. Bugger off, pillock. You grotty wanking oik artless base-court apple-john. You clouted boggish foot-licking twit. You dankish clack-dish plonker. You gormless crook-pated tosser. You churlish boil-brained clotpole ponce. You cockered bum-bailey poofter. You craven dewberry piss-head cock-up pratting naff. You gob-kissing gleeking flap-mouthed coxcomb. You dread-bolted fobbing beef-witted clapper-clawed flirt-gill.
You are a fiend and a coward, and you have bad breath. You are degenerate, noxious and depraved. I feel debased just for knowing you exist. I despise everything about you, and I wish you would go away.
I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard stupid. Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid so stupid that it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. You are trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid gotten so dense that no intellect can escape. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on Mercury stupid. You emit more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a year. Quasar stupid. Your writing has to be a troll. Nothing in our universe can really be this stupid. Perhaps this is some primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid. Some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond the laws of physics that we know. I’m sorry. I can’t go on. This is an epiphany of stupid for me.
“Nobody trusts a traitor. They’ll use him for their purposes, but they despise him all along.”
Except when they bankroll, betray and bankrupt us all.

PLEASE READ THIS LINK AND PASS IT ALONG. This is the man who ‘bankrolled’ our lastest traitor McClellan’s book:
Here is a snip:
“Now comes Peretz’s coup de grace. On December 20, 1998, there appeared this exchange between Soros and Steve Kroft on “60 Minutes”:
Kroft: “You’re a Hungarian Jew …”
Soros: “Mm-hmm.”
Kroft: “... who escaped the Holocaust …”
Soros: “Mm-hmm.”
Kroft: “... by posing as a Christian.”
Soros: “Right.”
Kroft: “And you watched lots of people get shipped off to the death camps.”
Soros: “Right. I was 14 years old. And I would say that that’s when my character was made.”
Kroft: “In what way?”
Soros: “That one should think ahead. One should understand that—and anticipate events and when, when one is threatened. It was a tremendous threat of evil. I mean, it was a—a very personal threat of evil.”
Kroft: “My understanding is that you went … went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property from the Jews.”
Soros: “Yes, that’s right. Yes.”
Kroft: “I mean, that’s—that sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many, many years. Was it difficult?”
Soros: “Not, not at all. Not at all. Maybe as a child you don’t … you don’t see the connection. But it was—it created no—no problem at all.”
Kroft: “No feeling of guilt?”
Soros: “No.”
Thanks!
That's because you didn't Scotty.
Of course Cooper was trying to get him to say lie.
He complained about too much partisanship, and whined about DC fighting.....typical lib speak.
I'm thinking Bob Dole's email shook him up, he was asked about it, and did not have an answer.
If we’re really, really lucky the dems will subpoena him for hearings.
Bring. It. On.
Bob Dole's e-mail? Please share ...
“There are miserable creatures like you in every administration who don’t have the guts to speak up or quit if there are disagreements with the boss or colleagues,” Dole wrote in a message sent yesterday morning. “No, your type soaks up the benefits of power, revels in the limelight for years, then quits, and spurred on by greed, cashes in with a scathing critique.”
Michael Marshall, Dole’s spokesman and colleague at the Alston Bird law firm, confirms the message came from the former senator and presidential candidate. “Yes, it is authentic,” Marshall wrote in an email.
“In my nearly 36 years of public service I’ve known of a few like you,” Dole writes, recounting his years representing Kansas in the House and Senate. “No doubt you will ‘clean up’ as the liberal anti-Bush press will promote your belated concerns with wild enthusiasm. When the money starts rolling in you should donate it to a worthy cause, something like, ‘Biting The Hand That Fed Me.’ Another thought is to weasel your way back into the White House if a Democrat is elected. That would provide a good set up for a second book deal in a few years”
Dole assures McClellan that he won’t read the book — “because if all these awful things were happening, and perhaps some may have been, you should have spoken up publicly like a man, or quit your cushy, high profile job”
“That would have taken integrity and courage but then you would have had credibility and your complaints could have been aired objectively,” Dole concludes. “You’re a hot ticket now but don’t you, deep down, feel like a total ingrate?”
He signs the email simply: “BOB DOLE”
Other than that (#35), RoS, how do you really feel?/s
And by the way...ditto.
He’s so sanctimonious, isn’t he? He’s labelled some extremely serious charges and he had better have facts to back them up. Problem is that Scotty has sold his soul. We’re all gonna die someday. Some people just have no shame. Enjoy your short life Scotty. That’s a lot of nastiness to answer for.
No. I think we can all reasonably express our feelings towards that POS without resorting to profanity.
“Views”??????
I thought these allegations were supposed to be facts.
You don’t testify under oath to “views”
Hahaha
There have been two turncoats, one from the left and one from the right. McClellen and Lieberman. The score is even.
