Judas didn’t lie about Jesus when he sold him out.
I didn’t really plan to write very much about former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan the new unquestioned darling of the Bush-hating left. He’s doing the MSM victory tour with his head held in clean moral triumph though his soul is wracked sore because those mean White House people poked him with sticks and stuck him in a burlap bag with enraged badgers to make him stand up in front of the noble press corps and lie, lie, lie. Of course, the MSM is drying his tears and rocking him gently in their arms and cooing soft words of comfort to him because he has finally come home. That’s what happens when one of their former hated foes says something they can shoehorn into their selfish and myopic view of the world.
That’s all well and good for Scotty. I hope that he finds whatever solace he can in the arms of Matt Lauer and Keith Olbermann. That’s going to have to sustain him through quite a few long nights when he’s all alone with his shriveled little cowardly lying soul. Let’s not gild the lily here. Scott McClellan is a liar and a coward. He is lying whole cloth about the war and the runup to it. He is not so stupid that he doesn’t know what a cease-fire is and that we were not only justified in resuming hostilities with Saddam Hussein but legally justified under every auspice of law to do so. He’s also not so dumb that he did not know that what President Bush was saying was nearly point for point what Congress had said in 1998 when is overwhelmingly approved a resolution to make regime change in Iraq the policy of the United States. Of course he knows. He’s capable of walking upright and using primitive tools like Microsoft Word. Unfortunately, he put his skills as an evolved human being to use reigniting the embers of a discussion that was only kept alive those who make a lot of money keeping the old myths alive and those with the reading comprehension of a pot roast.
So while he’s a liar, a coward, and was nearly completely incompetent at his job, he’s not stupid. He had to have seen the relative lack of blockbuster success that Ari Fleischer, a far more skilled and liked Press Secretary, had with his book. He also had to have seen how Fleischer was treated not as an author but as a shill by the MSM (well, those outlets that didn’t ignore him entirely). The only way he could really cash in on his book was to play to the howling Bush-hating mob. So he chucked his integrity and what few shreds of self-respect he had over the side and set a course, full-steam, for BDS-land where the money flows like water and your conscience can blacken like coal in the intense heat of the hatred but where they’ll greet you like a long-lost brother so long as you give them the secret Bush Lied handshake.
I hope he makes truckloads of money off of his book. It’s about all he really has left.
Hahahahahahahaha! You are such a pathetic brown-noser, it’s not even funny.
