Former Press Secretary Scott McClellan turns against Bush

Los Angeles Times

[kelsiejackson]

On accepting Scott McClellan's resignation as his press secretary two years ago, President Bush predicted that he and the outgoing aide some day would be "rocking in chairs in Texas and talking about the good old days."

But maybe their days in the White House together weren't so happy after all.

Next week will bring the publication of McClellan's 341-page tome, "What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington's Culture of Deception." It is described by Politico's Mike Allen as "surprisingly scathing."

"Isn't it amazing how quickly everyone can turn against you?"

Anything to sell a book...what a piece of turncoat crap

[traderrob6]

This coming from probably the most inept Press secretary of all time.

[sarasota]

This guy has lost all credibility. What a putz.

"Isn't it amazing how quickly everyone can turn against you?"

If McClellan wrote a book called "Bush: The Greatest President" it would sell zero copies. McClellan is a punk!

[avital2]

how big of a dollar advance did this guy sell out for? do we know what his price was?

[Dr. Ursus]

Your right. The only way he could get a large advance was
to trash the Bush adminstration.

"do we know what his price was?"

If they paid him more than 30 pieces of silver they got robbed.

I was reading the article and it sounded like the reporter was projecting his opinion into the article rather than telling us what the book said.

Stuttering Scott, I don’t miss him. He was lousy and I always wondered how he got that job.

[kenmcg]

Wow!!! What a back-stabbing piece of human debris!!

[SampleMan]

McClellan certainly didn't do anything for the family name.

He always looked like he was sweating bullets and trying to remember the answer. I would have fired him on day 2.

It is now the custom of Washington failures to write whiny books bemoaning everyone about them as flawed.

You must have something before you can lose it.

[RangerMoon]

Is it interesting that we don’t find any tell all books about the Clinton administration? The people that worked for them are true loyalists. I just don’t understand it.

[Thrownatbirth]

Guy does a lousy job and then blames his boss. Move along, folks...

[WayneS]

George Bush’s fault!

;^)

[stratboy]

Maybe they were loyal, maybe they feared Arkancide.

[WayneS]

Maybe Bush didn’t send him the reinforcements he was demanding.
