Former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan writes in a
surprisingly scathing memoir to be published next week that President
Bush "veered terribly off course," was not "open and forthright on
Iraq," and took a "permanent campaign approach" to governing at the
expense of candor and competence.
Among the most explosive revelations in the 341-page book, titled "What
Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington's Culture of
Deception" (Public Affairs, $27.95):
* McClellan charges that Bush relied on "propaganda" to sell the war.
* He says the White House press corps was too easy on the
administration during the run-up to the war.
* He admits that some of his own assertions from the briefing room
podium turned out to be "badly misguided."
* The longtime Bush loyalist also suggests that two top aides held a
secret West Wing meeting to get their story straight about the CIA leak
case at a time when federal prosecutors were after them -- and
McClellan was continuing to defend them despite mounting evidence they
had not given him all the facts.

Someone will eventually tell him, perhaps when they bring him his milk
and cookies before bedtime...maybe Laura. After all she was a
librarian. They read books, don't they?
Or perhaps someone will draw him a picture....

Jak, did you follow my link? http://tinyurl.com/yqllcu
Of course most of us knew all along, only the "grownups" in the group
didn't figure it out early and often.

being obvious enough?
