Former Press Secretary Scott McClellan turns against Bush
Los Angeles Times

Posted on 05/28/2008 4:48:04 AM PDT by 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."

You’re right, I was thinking of the debacle in North Carolina/Virginia border

All those who might have written a “tell all” book regarding the Clinton Admin died mysteriously.

Dick Morris Dot Com must have some damn good security!

Thats the way it is, nowadays.

1) Work for the govt.

2) Write a tell-all expose.

3) Make tons of money.

It`s hilarious. When McClellan was press secretary, DU`ers said he was a liar and nothing he said could be trusted. Now they`ve done a complete about-face and are swallowing everything he says as the truth and nothing but the truth.

So, what “tell all” book did Dickie right that highlighted the criminal acts perpetrated by the Clintons?

What I am wondering is, the million dollar question here for me at least:

IS THERE STUFF IN THAT NEW BOOK ON THE PRESIDENT'S THOUGHT PROCESSES AND STRATEGY ON AMNESTY FOR MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL ALIENS INCLUDING CRIMINAL ALIENS?

And when all that debacle went down, several times in his Administration--and as recently as June last year--blindly ignoring the mass of public sentiment.

I sure hope McClellan had some inside word on that little fiasco. I for one have always wanted to know, when it comes to Bush and Illegal Aliens/Amnesty, "WTF!?"

I hope there is some decent, clear and truthful inside insight.

I haven't read any of his books, but Morris Dot Com has revealed plenty about Billary that would be enough to get him whacked, IMO. Unlike Vince Foster, Morris Dot Com is too high profile to be a victim of Arkancide.

I guess Dickie was a bit more intelligent than some of the Clinton's other lackeys.
