An examination of published reports reveals that Scott McClellan's kiss-and-smell betrayal of George W. Bush is a far cry from the book McClellan started out to write and was shaped into an offensive tome by a publisher with close ties to George Soros.
To understand how McClellan's literary knife-in-the-back evolved, one has to know something about the book industry.

I don’t know if I can throw up anymore.
I suspect McClellan was boiled like a frog on this one.
Submit a draft, hmm, make a few changes, submit it again, hmm, lets tweak this up a little here, submit it again, more changes... until the the whole thing is a total rewrite.
Maybe a lot of that did happen but you don't hear McClellan reprimanding the publisher or threatening and filing a lawsuit against them for basically changing everything he wrote and basically just using his name.
Yesterday I heard him being interviewed saying he is considering Barrack Obama. You got to be kidding me! How George Bush ever gave this clown a job in his administration is beyond me. He is clearly not a conservative and never was.
Yep, so what do we do...Liberals obvious quest for power, at the expense of their country, IMO, equates to treason and negates their right to call themselves Americans.
How do you sculpture a turd?
Exposure is what Liberals fear the most. Freepers and other Conservatives have to expose them and publicize the truth constantly. Other than that, I don’t know.
I've told my wife for years, don't fear strong people, it's the weak ones who will knife you in the back. 15 seconds of Scott McClellan lets you know, he's one weak **^&%$#)*&.
I think this is a mark agaisnt Bush, who promoted such a man to Press Secretary and kept him employeed for years and years.

Because Scottie did not write it. A Soro ghost wirter did.
I'm not defending him, I'm just suggesting how it happened. He allowed himself to be brainwashed by the left.
Apparently that's what he does - At the White House, he was told what to say and he went out and said it, now the left got hold of him and he's done exactly the same thing.
He's probably incapable of having an original thought.
He was paid a lot less than that up front. If he was lucky half on signing and half on finishing. Deduct from that 15% to his agent (unless he used a lawyer for an hourly fee) and whatever he paid a ghostwriter.
Obviously the publisher was able to tell him he would never earn anything beyond the paltry advance unless he spiced it up. Very effective tactic.
It cleared explained, because he received such a SMALL AMOUNT UP FRONT... he was under pressure to write the type of book that would sell, if he wanted to make MORE money.
...and apparently that's what his goal was...write a book that would BRING in MORE money.
No need to put “traitors” in quotation marks. These leftist politicians are hell-bent on torching the very Constitution they pledge to uphold. Their oaths of office have become meaningless.

Because slimy liar Pillsbury DoughBoy Scott should NOT be rewarded for his traitorous endeavors.
