Scott McClellan Kisses Up To Left In Book Trashing Bush and Others

McClellan whacks Bush, White House
Politico for complete article
Former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan writes in a surprisingly scathing memoir to be published next week that President Bush “veered terribly off course,” was not “open and forthright on Iraq,” and took a “permanent campaign approach” to governing at the expense of candor and competence.
Among the most explosive revelations in the 341-page book, titled “What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington’s Culture of Deception” (Public Affairs, $27.95):
• McClellan charges that Bush relied on “propaganda” to sell the war.
• He says the White House press corps was too easy on the administration during the run-up to the war.
• He admits that some of his own assertions from the briefing room podium turned out to be “badly misguided.”
• The longtime Bush loyalist also suggests that two top aides held a secret West Wing meeting to get their story straight about the CIA leak case at a time when federal prosecutors were after them — and McClellan was continuing to defend them despite mounting evidence they had not given him all the facts.
• McClellan asserts that the aides — Karl Rove, the president’s senior adviser, and I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, the vice president’s chief of staff — “had at best misled” him about their role in the disclosure of former CIA operative Valerie Plame’s identity.
Before he wrote his own memoir, White House press secretary Scott McClellan was rather critical of those who did the same.

Wexler: : McClellan Must Testify Under Oath Before House Judiciary

Washington, DC) Today Congressman Robert Wexler (D-FL) called for former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan to appear before the House Judiciary Committee to testify under oath regarding the devastating revelations made in his new book on the Bush Administration’s deliberate efforts to mislead the American people into the Iraq War.

“The admissions made by Scott McClellan in his new book are earth-shattering and allege facts to establish that Karl Rove and Scooter Libby – and possibly Vice President Cheney – conspired to obstruct justice by lying about their role in the Plame Wilson matter and that the Bush Administration deliberately lied to the American people in order to take us to war in Iraq. Scott McClellan must now appear before the House Judiciary Committee under oath to tell Congress and the American people how President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, Scooter Libby, and White House officials deliberately orchestrated a massive propaganda campaign to sell the war in Iraq to the American people.”

“The allegations by this former top White House aide – that Rove and Libby deliberately coordinated their stories in order to obstruct justice in the Plame case, that the President deliberately disregarded contradictory evidence related to Iraq, should outrage every American and Congress must respond by initiating immediate aggressive oversight starting with an appearance by McClellan before the House Judiciary Committee. Any continued obstruction by this Administration to prevent White House officials from appearing before Congress cannot be tolerated by this Congress in the face of these shocking revelations.”

Congressman Wexler has led a nationwide campaign in favor of holding impeachment hearings for Vice-President Dick Cheney. Congressman Wexler is Chairman of the Europe Subcommittee and a senior member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and the House Judiciary Committee.

Wild Thing’s comment……..
McClellan is going to spend all his book profits on lawyers. LOL Scottie lies for money and walks into a minefield!
These people will never learn what a big mistake it is to side in any way with the left and the rino’s and the enemy within.
Rove has already debunked this little bit of paranoia. He met with Libby routinely as part of his job, it was not a secret .
Scott is a PUTZ! He always has been and always will be. McClellan will find out you can’t buy, beg or steal friendship and loyalty from Demorats, Socialists, radicals and Bush/America-haters.
McClellan was hired by rino Karen Hughes.
This is also good that Rush said yesterday about all of this:
RUSH:

Folks, if I may be candid, this is what so frustrated me about McCain for all these last six years. McCain was trying to do the same thing. He was trying to be treated as an elite by the liberals, and how did he do it? By trashing his own party; by trashing his own president; by being more critical of his own party than he ever was our enemies; by making deals with them. He almost quit the Republican Party in 2004, whatever it was. It was he who approached John Kerry. People ask me, “Why do you have problems with McCain?” Why do I have problems with Scott McClellan? It’s not quite the same thing, but the liberals seek these people out. Now, if McCain had decided not to run for president, he would be most-favored person status, he would be one of the wisest wise men on all these cable network shows but now they gotta take him out ’cause he’s jumped back. He hasn’t jumped back, they just think he has. This is a clear illustration here of how this all works. McClellan can sit there, “Okay, fine, the left’s going to take care of me fine now. George Bush fired me and left me out to dry, replaced me with Tony Snow, but the left is going to take care of me. For the rest of my life I am a credible expert on the Republican Party and the Bush administration. The left will never criticize me anymore.” Some people will trade their souls for that.

And this from Glenn Beck:
As Glenn Beck said today, WHY didn’t he just quit when he “found out that Bush was misleading us into the war?” Heck, IF you found out that your boss was sending people to fight and die for a lie, would YOU stay with him for 2 years?? Wouldn’t that make YOU as bad as your boss???! So, what does that make McClellan? McClellan is as bad as Bush if that’s what was happening, and I know it wasn’t. This guy (McClellan) is a REAL PUKE!!!
