McClellan on Plame (This has to hurt!)

Real Clear Politics ^ | June 2, 2008 | Robert Novak

A partisan Democratic mantra began earlier in the book. McClellan writes George H.W. Bush's 1988 campaign "acquiesced to certain advisers, including Roger Ailes and the late Lee Atwater," who opposed Bush's "civility and decency." (McClellan, then 20 years old, played no part in that campaign.) McClellan contends that thanks to Rove in 2002, "the first cracks appeared in the facade of bipartisan comity."

I tried explaining it to you because I thought you were just playing dumb.

Seems you weren't, and I misoverestimated you.

I don't think you will ever get it.

Novak=culpable

And he did not keep his mouth shut. He opened it to hurt conservatives, when he could have opened it to help them. Selective use of confidential source info.

So Armitage was his source, huh? Good work!

Listening to Scotty on O’Reilly..It could be he wants to run for office in Austin..hotbed of libs..He is the messenger trying to get us “away from partisanship”...Washington politics.

Wants bipartisanship to prevail...sounds like campaigning..His second guessing is astounding as are his assertions about Rove..

He denies all tweaking of his book by others ..It’s all his doing..He is a hopeless, self important, jerk.

great piece

McClellan disingenuously claims he wants to soften the tone in Washington. Yet he goes on MSDNC and Keith Uberlib’s show. McClellan just got the same job with new masters.

>>>>>I tried explaining ...

Before you can explain what happened, you first have to understand what happened. Its crystal clear, you don't have a grasp of the facts. Instead, you revert to name calling in order to cover your blatant ignorance.

Scott who?

12 months from now he will be forgotten forever in the great dust heaps of the incompetent & disloyal.

I watched McClellan on the Bill O’Reilly show tonight. He wanted to come off as “Fair and Balanced”.. What I saw and heard was a Coward and a Hypocrite.

[Syncro]

My goodness, settle down fella.

Name calling?

No evidence of that in my posts.

I understand it quite clearly

Like I said, you don’t get it

No biggie

[Reagan Man]

Are you always this sensitive?

Btw, you’re clueless.

[Syncro]

LOL

I’m just fine.

You seem a little agitated

[Reagan Man]

>>>>>I’m just fine.

Now you're plain lying.

Hmmm, this can't do her political prospects any good .... not after she ran against Precious Perry, the bought-and-paid-for governor, as an indie.

Texas GOP politics is rapidly turning into a wasteland, a cesspit of prima-donnaism.

Which isn't helped by the fact that both Perry and Strayhorn are RiNO's, opportunistic Democrats who changed parties without changing their stripes.
