scott comes from a long-standing prominent austin family.
his grandfather keeton was a law professor at ut. there’s a street named for him.
scott’s mo, carole keeton strayhorn rylander... (she married many times) grew up in this connected political household.
carole was the first woman mayor of austin.
carole went on to be the state of texas comptroller. at some point she changed parties and became a republican.

McClelland?
It’s McClellan, isn’t it? Or am I missing something?
I think it’s McClellan
I suppose we can all gloat that in about 1 week, Scott is going to be unemployable.
Pelosi?
“Scott McMullen”
I think he was on `So You Think You can Dance’ last night.
He blew out a hamstring. Justdam.
The author probably had a few good things to say but it’s all for naught since he/she decided not to do a basic FACT CHECK to, at the very least, gee, I don’t know... maybeeeee... GET THE SUBJECT’S NAME RIGHT?!
As soon as I remembered that “One Marxist Grandma” was his mom, it all made sense to me.
Yep. This vanity thread is an embarrassment to FR, in my opinion.
Cindi Sheehan.
This conservative knows how to react. Ignore him. He's lying like a rug - he wasn't the White House Press Spokesperson when all this stuff he supposedly knows about was going on. He had no access to the 'inner circle' and had no ability to know what went on in the President's meetings.
If I had the opportunity to ask Scottie one question face to face, I would ask "So were you lying to us then, or are you lying to us now?"
And just WHO was it who hired McClellan? Any untrained viewer, including me, could see the man was a mediocrity not up to the job of press secretary. Another error in judgment by the nation’s CEO, eight years of errors in judgment.
I’ll never forget his first day at the podium. He couldn’t hold a candle to those before him, and frankly, it was embarrassing to watch. He was a mistake from the beginning, and he sure is proving it now. His new “friends” on the left will last about ten minutes, and then he will be beamed up for good.
Says it all:
“At this point he has chosen the path of unethical betrayal and offended rather than convinced his counterparts as well as the American public.”
I think this is a very good piece of thinking, Bowtie.
One question, however: If a similar book had been written by a Clinton White House functionary, would we not also embrace it, a la Pelosi?
I agree, Scott, all things being equal, has positively no credibility.
Somebody really must have angered him while he was at The White House.
He’s lying like a rug - he wasn’t the White House Press Spokesperson when all this stuff he supposedly knows about was going on. He had no access to the ‘inner circle’ and had no ability to know what went on in the President’s meetings
I think it’s a case of *looking for love in all the wrong places*.
Scotty was probably approached by the Soros publishing cartel months ago....he succumbed to the same kind of flattery and kiss-up by the lefties - much like David Brock.
He was putty in their hands.....just another easy mark!
