The Soros-McClellan Connection

The hat tip for this post goes to LGF reader John Williams in Texas.

The company that published Scott McClellan’s new Bush-bashing book is Public Affairs Books, and their Editor at Large is a guy named Peter Osnos: About The Century Foundation.

The owner of Public Affairs Books is a company called Perseus Book Group. Here’s their ownership tree: Perseus Books Home.

The firm is owned by Perseus Funds Group, (holding company Perseus LLC) a capital management firm that grew from about $20 million in 1995 to over $2 billion now. Big infusions of cash seemed to help it grow exponentially and it closed funds almost as fast as it opened them. The board has tons of liberals from the Clinton and Carter Administrations with credentials that almost put Osnos’ to shame as far as far left causes go. Their website is here: PERSEUS - merchant bank and private equity fund management.

If you go to the New York Department of State web site and enter “Perseus” in the “Business Organization” search, you get this on page 2 of the results:

Hi, George!

Excellent post, thanks.

That may be the answer. It all makes sense now. Another case of that gay nutjob that works for Soros at media matters.

ping!

Can't wait for a Marine back from Iraq to get a piece of Scotty, I would pay to see that.

How dare he tell the world, and our enemies in the ME that our guys are just “victims” of the evil Bush, and that Saddam and Sons were just innocent bystanders minding their own business.

What a sissy.

I guess the Soros crowd thought some conservatives couldn’t connect the dots on this crowd.
lol...
Be careful about dot connecting. Soros has been contributing to John McCain since 2001.

[EDINVA]

Scott got his 13 pieces of silver

[ncalburt]

So he did write a conspiracy book about a former President/ employer too. Who the heck was in charge of doing background and security checks at the WH ?

[ncalburt]

Please can the McCain haters take a night off from spreading there lies. Do we have to shoot that nonsense down again. Sorso and Pritzker have the more complex dirty money washing scam involving millions set up for Obama in the history of US politics and you carrying on about a few thousand dollars.

[roses of sharon]

Dan Barlett, WH communications director, said tonight that he hired Scotty.

[ncalburt]

Didn’t Dan Bartlett trash the WH too ?
How did this guy get security clearance with his background involving his Dad ?

[roses of sharon]

Didn't hear that, I am under the impression that he is still with the WH? He was on CNN when I heard him briefly tonite, maybe I just assumed.

My memory tells me that Karen Hughes first brought Scotty from Texas.

I checked the bio on Osnos and followed thru to see the wife’s “non profit consulting” gigs, found this:

Susan Osnos Married to Peter L. W. Osnos. [1]. Member, Human Rights Watch Women’s Rights Advisory Committee

[MeekOneGOP]

Yeah, I heard about this on the Mark Levin show tonight.

Sorry Soros at it again.

[ncalburt]

Dan Bartlett left the WH last year and made the rounds for awhile criticizing the WH and Rove etc...

[MeekOneGOP]

Buuuuuuuuuummmmmmmppp !!

[roses of sharon]

Thanks ncalburt, its....all...coming...back...now...not....pleasant..at..all!

I'm so sick of these DC maggots playing games with our troops in harms way.

[ncalburt]

The Collaborator News Network does not invite friends of the WH or the Repub party to there Bush bashing sessions but traitors like Bartlett and Scotties are always welcomed .

[GOP Poet]

I guess that McClellan was a Mole. He even looks like one.

and a snake and a worm . . . must agree he somehow always looked very much like a weak man to me, now it all becomes quite clear. Too bad Bush and those around him could not see this as well, but sometimes life lessons come the hard way (even for the President of the United States of America).

[Matchett-PI]

bttt

[OKIEDOC]

Shocked.
SHOCKED!
Comment:

Well President Bush has surrounded himself with old Clinton hands and friends of prominent and not so prominent Democrats.

I was shocked by McClellan's hit book just because I did not think that even the liberal America haters would stoop to scoop Shiite out of the sewer known as the Democratic party.

Just wait until The Obama Uniter gets his campaign in gear.

We ain't seen nothing yet until Obama cranks up uniting America by baiting and enabling and turning whitey against blacks and Hispanics against both blacks and whites.

Should be a loverly campaign, pass the poopcorn Obadiah.
