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.
“Scott McMullen”
I think he was on `So You Think You can Dance’ last night.
He blew out a hamstring. Justdam.

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?"
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.
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!
Sounds like someone has swallowed, if not Drano, the PETA propaganda. Do you have any hard evidence that the makers of Drano poured it into the eyes of 10,000 animals?
You can understand him by first understanding why he got the job and what his credentials were and, then, why he lost the job and at whose request.
Yes we do. Shrug this off, this has nothing to do with Conservatives. With 6 months left of this Admin. no one will care next week anyway.Most of Scott's writing dosen’t really seem to say much. His take on Plame seems out of touch. He acts like its still some big mystery, when everybody knows that Armitage leaked Plame’s name. From the excerpts I've read he seems kinda whiny and wonkish; nobody but BDS Moonbats will still care after a few more news cycles. Scott will do the talk-shows on the liberal networks promote his book; then go home knowing why his “old friends” no longer call him, yet perplexed why his “new lefty friends” have also stopped calling...Useful idiot.
Money makes people do wacky things: steal, cheat, lie, write fake memoirs...
