Little Green Footballs has the details. You know, I tried to not be mean about Scott McClellan yesterday and just light-heartedly joke about his opportunism. Today, I'm not feeling so charitable.
When McClellan worked as Press Secretary, he was so dull-witted and slow on the uptake it was painful to watch. The press was clearly frustrated. The bland dullness and lack of articulate answers didn't look feigned. In fact, I thought it was a case of pure evil Rovian genius to have McClellan as Press Secretary. McClellan was so bad he was good.
Below is a clip around the Plame investigation:
So, McClellan now says he knew what was going on and didn't blow the whistle.
Well, McClellan wasn't some Rovian plot. He just stunk that bad and had to be replaced by Tony Snow, who was fantastic. I don't think this book will make McClellan come off as suddenly smart except to liberals who aren't too bright anyway.
Yeah, it's amazing that all the people in the liberal press corp who thought he was a horrible press secretary suddenly act like he's brought the next tablet of commandments down from Mt. Sinai.
ReplyDeleteummm . . . you blame McClellan for this clip - because he had a hard time defending Rove's lies?
ReplyDeleteThe Kool-Aid must be refreshing.
It is no news flash to learn that this White House is run by incompetents bent on creating propaganda to lead the nation in to a military debacle.
Poor Righties. The rats are running from the ship . . .
