    McClellan Late Show by: Ben Giles, June 25, 2008 Former press secretary Scott McClellan remains concerned about what he calls “a cloud of suspicion over the White House,” particularly concerning the leak of undercover CIA operative Valerie Plame’s identity. In his testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on June 19, McClellan expressed his frustration over alleged leaks and cover-ups by White House officials, and questioned the possible involvement of Vice President Dick Cheney. “I do not think the President had any knowledge,” said McClellan. “In terms of the Vice President, I do not know.” The allegations at the time were...

    Whatever Became of Scott McClellan? by: Rachel Paulk, June 23, 2008 Scott McClellan’s book What Happened spans a range of events that occurred during the Bush years, including the 9/11 and Katrina catastrophes, the Plame scandal, and the controversial Iraq War. McClellan also provides scathing profiles of the star-studded White House, criticizing Karl Rove, Condi Rice, Dick Cheney, and George W. Bush, among others. McClellan joined the Bush team when George W. was governor of Texas and planning on running for presidential office. Following Bush’s ascent to presidency, McClellan worked under Ari Fleischer as the principal deputy press secretary; after...

    Applause erupted, the crowd parted and then... there he was. Scott McClellan strode into the bookstore wearing khaki pants and a light-blue buttoned-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up. There was standing room only-- almost everyone had arrived early to hear his insider's view on the workings of Washington. McClellan, the president's former spokesman, spoke last night in his first in-store appearance about his new tell-all book, "What Happened." The book has drawn considerable interest - McClellan says the Bush administration misled the public into war by grossly overstating the threat of Iraq. His book also reveals his personal account...

    "Mr. McClellan announced his resignation at the side of Mr. Bush on the White House lawn, but in sometimes emotional remarks he did not say what he would be doing or who would be succeeding him. It was unclear if Mr. McClellan had acted on his own or had been encouraged to leave after his two years and nine months as Mr. Bush's chief spokesman." --New York Times, on Scott McClellan's resignation, April 19, 2006 Former White House Press Secretary, Scott McClellan, counts the number of former colleagues' backs he's climbed on to promote his book.Much as we tried to...
  • McClellan gives no new evidence (based on books he read AFTER leaving WH and "reflection")

    Scott McClellan's most explosive charges about the Iraq war are based not on any new evidence but rather on his reading of books and magazine articles after leaving the White House and on a period of "reflection." ---- This charge has been given great authority because of Mr. McClellan's former status as a White House insider. But a close reading of his book, "What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washingtons Culture of Corruption," shows that he reveals no new information about the presidents motives. ---- Mr. McClellan also said that after leaving the White House in 2006, he...
  • Soros Publisher 'Shaped' McClellan's Hit Job: Other publishers don't recognize it as the same book

    An examination of published reports reveals that Scott McClellan's kiss-and-smell betrayal of George W. Bush is a far cry from the book McClellan started out to write and was shaped into an offensive tome by a publisher with close ties to George Soros. To understand how McClellan's literary knife-in-the-back evolved, one has to know something about the book industry.

    Publisher Peter Osnos, who admits to personally working with former Bush White House press secretary Scott McClellan on his new book, What Happened, began his career as an assistant to I.F. Stone, the pro-communist "journalist" named as a Soviet agent of influence who was the uncle of Weather Underground communist terrorist Kathy Boudin. But the connections don't end there. Boudin's son Chesa was raised by Barack Obama associates Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, who were Boudin's comrades in the communist terrorist group, after Kathy Boudin went to prison for her involvement in an armed robbery and assault that took the...

    (11/05/02) -- On Monday, the Teamsters union vowed they would shut down two Rolling Stones concerts this weekend at Pacific Bell Park (Home of San Francisco Giants) if the promoter, Clear Channel Communications, does not use union workers. William Cromartie, the president of the Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 85, said that the Teamsters have had a gripe with Clear Channel for years: "They want to bring in kids to work for $6 or $7 an hour and give then a T-shirt." Nearly 50 Teamsters were picketing outside the stadium as trailers arrived to deliver equipment for the Friday and Saturday...

    Fiedor Report On the News #265 ^ | 3-23-02 | Doug Fiedor
    The very first sentence in the body of the United States Constitution states clearly: "All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives." The U.S. Supreme Court had often stated that every word in our Constitution holds equal weight. Therefore, when one reads the words "All legislative Powers" granted to the federal government "shall be vested in a Congress," a couple very inconvenient questions quickly come to mind: How is it that over one-hundred federal agencies are also allowed to make law? And, how...
