McClellan not sure about McCain, intrigued by Obama
Scott McClellan, making the media rounds to promote his book and push back against the ferocious counter-attack by Bush loyalists, declined to come out tonight for John McCain and said he liked what he had heard from Barack Obama.
"I haven't made a decision," McClellan told Katie Couric on CBS's "Evening News," when asked if he was backing the Arizona senator. McClellan paid homage to McCain, saying that the Republican nominee had "governed from the center, and that's where I am."
But without prompting, he said he was "intrigued by Sen. Obama's message."
"It's a message that is very similar to the one that Gov. Bush ran on in 2000," McClellan said.
He offered similar comments about Obama on ABC's "World News Tonight."
In his book, the former Bush spokesman describes his upbringing in a house where his mother was the moderate Democrat mayor of Austin (Carole Keeton Strayhorn later became a Republican before running as an independent for governor in 2006). McClellan recounts how, when he first came to work for Bush in 1999, he admired the governor's willingness to work across party lines in the Texas capitol.
McClellan is the third high-profile member of Bush's original Texas circle to express interest, if not support, for Obama. Matthew Dowd and Mark McKinnon, both top-level advisers in Bush's 2000 and 2004 runs and former Democrats, have also praised the likely Democratic nominee.
Is Scottie on some kind of anti-depressant ?..say Zoloft, Prozac or Paxil... I think he has over medicated.
Talk about a “man” without a country! After the DBM gets through BuFuing him, he’ll drop into the abyss.
Yet he's thinking about voting for B. Hussein Obama? This is one very confused individual.
if scottyMcboy heard Britt yesterday of Fox he would be........Hume lambasted him like no one else.......I was roARing with laughter.
Well, if Craig Livingston could find a job in the Clintoon administration, I guess McClellan might find a spot in Barry’s. What a loser.
Maybe he’s dating David Brock now.
Who gives a flying rats rear WHO this guy votes for! Who in the world does he think he is, or that his opinions mean anything to anybody. He’s just a very disturbed, fat twit who needs to crawl back under a rock and stay there...permanently! Sheesh! What a dufus!
My theory is Bush hung his staff (except Cheney) out on Plane/Wilson Investigation, and McClellan felt betrayed and said to himself, “Why not get my payback this way” so now he is a star on MSNBC (was on nut-bag Obermann last night, what’s that tell you about him???) and rats will run out to buy the book that ‘confirms’ everything. So he just repeats liberal talking points on MSNBC and is a star.
I do think Bush Cheney deserve punishment for that Plane /Wilson mess and making it easy for procecuter to hang his people. I feel sorry for McClellan, but not any respect.
HE’SIDIOTIC
The worst press secretary in modern history might vote for the worst candidate in modern history. What a surprise! Maybe Scottie is auditioning for Junior Deputy Assistant Under Secretary for Public Affairs at the Bureau of Mines in an Obama administration, though he’d still be in way over his head.
Is it true that the publishing compnay has ties to felon George Soros?
This should be posted on the ‘ Offical Silly Friday’ thread.
