The response from the Bush administration and its amen corner to the blistering charges in former press secretary Scott McClellan’s new book has been quick, brutal and predictable. Of course, it wasn’t always this way. Once upon time, Scott McClellan was the perfect mouthpiece for the Bush administration and its right-wing allies.

Here, then is:
“A Look Back at Scott McClellan’s Greatest Hits.”

I am sure at the depth of his soul he (Scott) hurts. Look at the lives lost, the country we have ruined..as I said from the beginning all for male ego.

the gop reichwingneocons certainly like
to stab each other in the back. this
asinine hypocracy of rove was expected.
the bush administration busied itself with
f#cking the whole country and now that
one of their own speaks up, the
carnage will begin.

Why does McClellan hate freedom?

What I want to see is a tv show with all the people who have left the republican party and written these books — books that have all ended up saying the same thing.

Let’s make a list of them:

Scott McClellan
Richard Clarke

KKKarl: Second of all, it sounds like somebody else, it sounds like a left wing blogger.

Yes, I agree. Facts and reality are concepts of left-wing bloggers.

It’s nice to see that McClellan has (somewhat) come to his senses, but I don’t feel sorry for him.
He worked for the Bush Administration and had a hand in feeding the American public some of the most dishonest propaganda this country has ever seen.

And now that he has a book to promote, he’s seen the light?

Enjoy that book money Scottie. Everyone now hates you.

karl knows he’s cornered, and that the Seargeant-at-Arms will be showing up for him soon!

The Resurrection of Scottie McClellan Begins.

nothing worse then a left-wing blogger– illiterate communist dregs–

Turn on faux Faux or any of the a.m hate radio azzhats. They are all claiming Scotty is just disgruntled and he wrote the book for money, so the book doesn’t hold water. In other words….ignore the facts and attack the messenger. Typical reich-wing scum.

On the book critical of the Bush White House written in cooperation with former Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill, “The Price of Loyalty: George W. Bush, the White House, and the Education of Paul O’Neill,” McClellan said on January 12, 2004:

McCLELLAN: “It appears to be more about trying to justify personal views and opinions than it does about looking at the results that we are achieving on behalf of the American people.”

McClellan also took issue with the book by former Bush White House counter-terrorism czar Richard Clarke, “Against All Enemies: Inside America’s War on Terror,” on March 22, 2004:

McCLELLAN: Well, why, all of a sudden, if he had all these grave concerns, did he not raise these sooner? This is one-and-a-half years after he left the administration. And now, all of a sudden, he’s raising these grave concerns that he claims he had. And I think you have to look at some of the facts. One, he is bringing this up in the heat of a presidential campaign. He has written a book and he certainly wants to go out there and promote that book. …

Hardly a nice find. The myopic reich-wingers ran to their list of reich-wing bloggers to stock up on talking points.

This will have to shake out.

I have heard today from several sources that McClellans publisher may have made ‘editorial’ changes to the book. I’m am not certain as to the source of that comment.

After the book is released, McClellan and the others will need to comment - Wexler’s site states he is going to call McClellan.

Looks like Wexler is demanding that Scottie MC testify under oath before the House Judiciary Committee. From e-mail I received today:

Last night, significant news broke that directly impacts our push for Impeachment Hearings and a possible Inherent Contempt charge for Bush Administration officials such as Karl Rove:

Former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan has revealed in his upcoming book that:

• Karl Rove, Scooter Libby, and Vice President Cheney lied about their role in revealing the identity of Valerie Plame Wilson – actions easily amounting to obstruction of Justice.

McClellan also admitted that:

• There was a coordinated effort within the Bush Administration to use propaganda to pump up the case for the Iraq war and hide the projected costs of the war from the public.

Scott McClellan must be called to testify under oath before the House Judiciary Committee to tell Congress and the American people everything he knows about this massive effort by the White House to deceive this nation into war.

Last week, a subpoena was issued for Karl Rove to testify before the Judiciary Committee. It appears he will take every legal action to block this subpoena. The truth is that Congress has the right – and obligation – to hold him accountable now - not months or years from now. It is long past time to pass Inherent Contempt and bring Rove, Libby and others before Congress.

We simply cannot ignore these recent developments, nor should we postpone serious inquiry until after the next election.

Your commitment to accountability for the Bush/Cheney Administration, and the support of 230,000 other Americans who signed up at wexlerwantshearings.com, has inspired and motivated me in my effort to hold impeachment hearings for Vice President Dick Cheney and Inherent Contempt for Rove and others. During the past months I have been a tireless and dogged advocate of this vitally important cause.

Many of you have written me, asking for an update on where we stand with regards to impeachment hearings. I know most of you believe - as I do - that impeachment hearings for Vice President Cheney – are not only justified, but that it is our constitutional obligation to look into the serious allegations of wrongdoing that have been raised. This is especially true based on the newest revelations from Scott McClellan.

I believe that it is the duty of Congress to pursue impeachment whenever there’s significant evidence of wrongdoing, be it by Republicans or Democrats, regardless of the timing of elections or the current political environment.

Some of you have written me demanding that I deliver hearings or impeachment. As hard as I have been fighting for this cause, I cannot make impeachment happen by myself. What I can do, and what I have been doing at every turn, is trying to communicate two simple messages to my colleagues:

• the serious allegations of wrongdoing and the clear-cut rationale for impeachment hearings;and
• the fact that the public will support our efforts when Congress boldly acts on the side of justice and accountability.

Unfortunately, to date, these arguments have not been enough to convince even a majority of the liberal and progressive Members of Congress to support impeachment hearings. In addition, the leadership of the Democratic Party in Congress genuinely feels that pursuing impeachment will jeopardize our congressional agenda and threaten gains in the November elections. Although I genuinely disagree with this view, to date I have been unable to convince them to change this policy.

I understand the challenges that we are up against, and I recognize the odds that we face. Nevertheless, I remain unfazed and unyielding.

This new evidence from Scott McClellan could be the tipping point – but we must move quickly. I will use the McClellan admissions to help convince my colleagues that we must hold impeachment hearings.

Regardless, I will continue to fight for progressive values and our Constitution. I will do everything I can to pursue accountability for criminal actions taken by this Administration and this Vice President. I will be a furious opponent to any expansion of this misguided war, and I will fight against the use of torture by our government and to protect our civil liberties here at home.

Most of all, I will continue my efforts to convince my fellow members of Congress and voters, that we should not be a party of passivity - but that we succeed when we present the public with stark choices that are based on the guarantees in our Constitution, and not on the politics of the moment.

I will continue - at every pass - to call for impeachment and accountability. While I wish more of my colleagues supported our movement, we must not let our discouragement lead to apathy and distraction in this important election year when we must break free from eight long years of illegalities, corporate handouts, and a tragic and devastating war.

We should not end the calls for impeachment. I will push against the crimes of the Bush Administration whenever I am provided the opportunity. I will use my role on the Judiciary Committee to take on Administration officials – like I have done with Condoleezza Rice, Attorney Generals Gonzalez and Mukasey, and FBI Director Mueller.

I have not given up our fight to hold this Administration accountable and neither can you. I am grateful for your patriotism and your support. I’ll continue to keep you informed and part of the conversation.

Sincerely,

Congressman Robert Wexler

Actually, I think that everyone SHOULD come down on McClellan for speaking now. He should have said these words BACK WHEN IT MATTERED. Saying it now is just saying what everyone already knows. The only thing that has changed is that McClellan can now make $$$ off of the distaster he helped to create.

The word of the day around the white house regarding Scotty must be “disgruntled” I thought employees who were fired were disgruntled. Scotty quit on his own. I think they like using the word disgruntled because most people associate it with an irate employee who returns to the business place and does something tragic.

An MSNBC reporter who talking to some white house staff said he heard the word “traitor” used in regard to Scotty.

I don’t know why he wrote the book when he did but I know it’s started a firestorm. Especially among the media news people who are now feeling a wee bit guilty for marching in lockstep with bush in his buildup for the war. Katie Couric admitted she felt pressure from her corporate bosses if she questioned the bush white house before the war.

This is the link from Wexlers site regarding McClellan

http://wexler.house.gov/apps/l.....ease.shtml

McClellan, better than anyone, knew what was coming: attacks, name calling, discrediting. Bush policy: kill the messenger.
Let’s hope his wife isn’t a CIA operative.

If nothing else maybe the media won’t obey and push a strike on Iran now.
