plus, world war two was really, really bad! who'd a thunk!

we agree w/the rude pundit, who doesn't give scott mcclellan any props for writing a book that disses the awol admin:

what's been revealed so far from mcclellan's book will be greeted by anyone paying attention for the last few years with, "yeah, what else ya got?" the administration launched a propaganda campaign to sell the war? the not-really-liberal-at-all media didn't do its job in the run-up to the war or after? "the iraq war was not necessary"? rove and libby lied about the outing of valeria plame? bush was a complete dunderhead when it came to hurricane katrina? really, scotty? at this point, is there still wool that needs to be pulled from someone's eyes? we're all about ten steps ahead of mcclellan by now. jesus, at least give us something new, like, say, cheney threatening to have libby's cats gutted if scooter didn't take the fall.

the rude pundit ain't in a forgiving mood when it comes to lackeys and co-conspirators in the bush administration. mcclellan doesn't get to say, as he does in the book, "the collapse of the administration’s rationales for war, which became apparent months after our invasion, should never have come as such a surprise." not when he said, in late january 2004, months after the invasion, regarding the chimeric weapons of mass destruction, "yes, we believe he had them, and yes, we believe they will be found. we believe the truth will come out." no, the little bulldog bitch who every day snarled at the press, even when caught in outright lies, does not get the bounty of fulsome forgiveness.

hopefully, the book will tank, and mcclellan will be reduced to blowing hannity for nickels. screw this obsequious pig-fucking son of a bitch, this grubby little man-whore, attempting to purge his soul of the taint and stench of death and sorrow while pulling in a buck or two. he's not honorable enough to have fallen on his sword, rhetorically or literally. and he's not even loyal enough to have shut the fuck up (at least an admirable quality in the abstract). he deserves a room in hell lined with televisions playing his sneering statements of complicity on an endless loop while he's forced to sit on a couch made of the bloated corpses of katrina victims. way too little, way, way too late, you miserable bucket of spooge.
exactly our feelings. when we heard that scotty boy had written a book which essentially said everything that all of blogtopia (and yes, we coined that phrase) had been saying for the last 5 years, we yawned.

we were reminded of the rapper who, when hearing that george harrison dissed rap music, said "hey, it's george harrison. now if it had been john lennon or paul mccartney, it might have meant something."

wake us up when ari fleischer turns his coat.

addendum: the moderate voice sez the discrediting of mclellan has already begun.

Now now, Skippy...give Scotie a little credit.

I agree..it would have been nice...BUT...I was always hoping for Some Disgruntled Underling at the Whitehouse to tell or say Something that Resembled the Truth...or the Crap...

( on another note yes, I guess I was really hoping for a Deep Throat...)

But you are right that it is nice to have the Blogatopia Concerns validated point by point...

( Karl Rove said the book said it sounded like "left wing bloggers"- so we are their WORST Nightmare.....good)

I do get a little satisfaction in seeing McClellan, who as press secretary simply could not or would not give a straight answer to any question that challenged the Bush administration line, talk straight. This is probably the best we're ever going to get from former Bush officials. As for those who are still left in this administration, they're lost. They've lived their Big Lie for so long, they believe it's the gospel truth, and they're going to believe in the Big Lie for the rest of their lives. I don't listen to a word they say anymore. Why anyone else still does eludes me.

As for getting all mad as hell and trashing McClellan for giving us too little too late, I no longer see the point. That sort of thing has become a Pavlovian reflex among too many of us -- Scottie rings our bell, and we lefty bloggers start foaming at the mouth. After three, four, five years of seeing this (and I was a part of it for a long while, until I all but burned myself out over it), it doesn't mean anything anymore. What started out as a genuine appalled reaction among these bloggers gradually morphed into a snark addiction. It's rather saddening to watch now.

Not to mention tired, old, and irritating...

Wow...what you said is true...I just watched Ari on Larry King ( yeah- there is NOTHING on...) And I kept thinking....at this point they have spewed the Lies for so long they believe it...

I do wonder something and no one seems to be able to remember, Was Scotty on the Original Grand Jury Questioning List ( for Fitz on Plamegate )??? ( I dont remember him being questioned...Ari Fleisher was ....)
