Today, there is alot of talk that Former Press Secretary Scott McClellan has a tell all book that is to be published soon. This book apparently goes into great depth about the Bush Administration. Here is what NPR is saying. One of President Bush’s counselors is indicating that the book is “total crap.” That is posted on CNN. The White House is “puzzled.”
In the book, McClellan has said “I had allowed myself to be deceived into unknowingly passing along a falsehood,” he wrote. “It would ultimately prove fatal to my ability to serve the president effectively.” Also, he said, “One of the worst disasters in our nation’s history became one of the biggest disasters in Bush’s presidency,” he wrote. “Katrina and the botched federal response to it would largely come to define Bush’s second term.”
Ok. this was not a posting on Daily Kos. It is so shocking!!!!!!!!!
Here is this blog’s opinion about this. The phrase total crap can be used, but not as one of President Bush’s former advisors have indicated. I think that Scott McClellan publishing this book is total crap. Now I have not read the book, but there are parts of it that are the typical sleeze tell all. It is in the paradigm of what the publishers want. Follow this:
Bush === Bad
Iraq=== We were lied to because of the Bush Administration
Karl Rove===Evil.
Now, I could have had some left-wing blockers write this. Now, I am NOT a Bush Fan and think that his administration has been a failure. But it is awfully Damn convenient that this happens now. Like sticking a card in the ATM. Scott McClellan’s press conferences were one of the most arrogant things I have seen. My question is this, if it was so bad, why didn’t he quit? Can’t come up with an answer. Like I said, it is total crap.

A sad anniversary, today is 5 years of “Mission Accomplished,” the symbol that shows the Bush Administration and the Iraq policy. I WILL ALWAYS SUPPORT OUR Troops, but I am confused about the stunt, Iraq and the relevance.
Here is the official White House comment from an Associated Press Video Feed about the Anniversary,
It is tragic that this is a devastating example of arrogance. The US Military deserves better. I just do not understand why We are there, and what we hoped to accomplish. I thought that we were against nation building and that is why I voted for President Bush 8 years ago. It saddens me to think of 9/11, but we have not evolved and moved forward. Military people are coming home shattered, and what do we show them? We do not take care of our veterans.
The surge is positive, but we have not really turned the corner. We have not held others accountable. We have not held the Iraqi’s accountable and accountable for their government. Keith Olbermann has a piece that illustrates some of the feeling that I am feeling. It is insightful ( which is a rarity for Keith Olbermann, or Pissy Oldermann).
We deserve answers and we deserve better.
