In the White House, we have always known that President George W. Bush and his Press Secretary are like two sides of the same coin. One is a dumb lying ass of a man who hits the bottle like fraternity boys when under stress and the other is George W. Bush.
You could have knocked me down with a feather when Scott McClellan, the former Press Secretary of the President opened his mouth to spit out vitriol at sheathed White House of Dick Cheney.
Was there anything he said that we have never heard by listening to the BBC and reading the Guardian of London? People who are surprised are those who read the Washington Post, New York Times and watch CNN. As for the Fox News guys, those Bush-is-always-right people, they are patiently waiting for historians to begin work on the Bush presidency, 100 years from now, before they make any informed judgment.
Why McClellan deserved our attention is that he broke the Bush loyalists Texas law of never spilling ones gut out. It is the law that has kept Collin Powell quiet. After being used as a caricature by Cheney and Rumsfeld, he is grumping and hoping there is a way to revamp his battered image by silently cheering the dream of the sons – the Obama dream.
McClellan must truly be a disgruntled former employee for him to say that Bush White House was on “permanent campaign” mood. Even Dan Quayle knows that Bush is not running for the Third Term. Or is he? As far as I know, not even his evil vice, Dick Cheney is running – his peacemaker is expiring and cannot guarantee him another four years of permanent campaign.
How could McClellan then accuse the Bush White House of “manipulating sources of public opinion to the president’s advantage” when they were the last remaining source after 9-11? What other source could have been there? Political Incorrect by Bill Maher?
If we are to believe McClellan that Bush wandered away like an old man whose brain has been ravaged by alcohol, where was the intended destination? A government headed by Pat Robertson?
The part that really pissed me off was the idea that Bush misled the country about the reasons for going to war. Where did McClellan get such a crazy idea? Isn’t John McCain confused enough as it is? Why would McClellan throw more confusion out there just as the old man is getting few details down?
“The Iraq war was not necessary,” McClellan wrote. So what do we do abut the 4000 dead American soldiers? Never mind the thousands wounded. And the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis killed. What do we do? How do we get them back?
I knew the man McClellan was crazy when he wrote that the Bush White House followed propaganda and stopped governing on the basis of the truth. Where is that man from, anywhere? Has he forgotten about Bush’s missing files at the National Guard? Has he forgotten that nobody remembers the stoned Bush who climbed on top of tables at frat houses with vodka shorts in his hands?
The part of the book that I think will earn McClellan a trial in a Sharia court in Kandahar was the part where he wrote that Bush’s administration possessed the “seeds of greatness” before it went off course. I understand the seeds part but greatness? And what does he mean when he wrote that Bush’s lack of self-confidence made him unable to acknowledge when he is wrong? If McClellan wants to attack Hillary Clinton, he should come out openly and do so. He should stop speaking in tongues.
Bush is not an intellectual leader, he wrote. Bush is not interested in delving deeply into policy options. Yada, yada, yada. Get a life, McClellan. Get a life, I say.
I could forgive McClellan everything but not his suggestion that history will judge Condoleezza Rice harshly for just sucking up to Bush and nothing else. How dare he say a bad word about Condi, my sister? Condi is history. Others merely write her.
I must say that I am puzzled, like Dana Perino (the present White House press secretary, who will, in two years time, write her own book and say that we should ignore what she said today because she was “just coming to grips with some of the truths inside the White House bubble.”)
So Scott, this is not the Bush I knew. And obviously, this is not the Bush that many of Fox News viewers knew. I must now admit this mistake - someone has been drinking again in the White House and it is not Dana Perino.
President Bush deceptive? Get outta here.
