Neocon Redemption?

Guess whose favorite former White House doughboy spokesman wrote a scathing book about his time bullshitting for the Bush administration? If you guessed Scott McClellan, you'd be correct! Word broke that he's releasing a book titled What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and What's Wrong with Washington, and in it he's as nasty as he wants to be (and we all know how nasty those Republicans can be!). From the fodder I've been reading, he really comes down on Bush's bullshit reasoning for the war in Iraq and Bush's bullshit reaction to Hurricane Katrina.

As cool as all that sounds, a big part of me thinks, "a little late, homeskillet!" He had a lot of time to call shenanigans on Bush's dirty deeds, but instead he played the dummy spokesman, misleading the American people. Guess what, Scott? You're still going to Hell (and your little dog too!).

See you there.

"I think the difference with McClellan's book is he's now telling us something we all know -- that the war with Iraq was a disastrous war [and] was sold with deception. It's a little different when you say something as I did and a few other people did four or five years ago, when the war was popular and when we were unpopular for saying what we said."
