Slog - Comments on Excerpt from Some Excerpts http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/05/excerpt_from_some_excerpts The Wall Street Journal today has published excerpts from Scott McClellan's new book What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington's Culture of Deception. McClellan worked for Bush for eight years, eventually becoming White House Press Secretary. ("I know the president pretty well," he writes.) The Wall Street Journal's editors have titled the excerpts "Scott McClellan's Confession." To this day, the president seems unbothered by the disconnect between the chief rationale for the war and the driving motivation behind it, and unconcerned about how the case was packaged. The policy is the right one and history will judge it...

Wow… scathing, indeed. While it’s sad knowing that nonsense spouting Bushbots like McClellan will never be held accountable for their crimes officially, it is some comfort knowing that Barbara Bush and a twelve gauge pipe wrench will soon help him shuffle off this mortal coil.


You’d better start sleeping with the lights on, Scotty.

Plus ya just gotta love how he has the balls to blame the White House press corps for dutifully printing Bush’s lies like the grotesque, sycophantic, spineless fools that they are.

Lack of inquisitiveness, my ass.

That should be a hoot.

You see, it’s all just this huge anti-Bush conspiracy—and 70% of Americans and 100% of the rest of the world are in on it!!

It's going to take us a decade or two to figure out what the hell just happened. And it'll all be reported on page B6 of the newspaper (well, figure of speech, in 10 yrs.) and only us Nerd Patrol will know about it.

Watergate looks so effin' quaint in hindsight. Heck, Spiro Agnew had to leave office because of felony charges, and he didn't even shoot anybody in the face!
