After watching Wolf Blitzer grill McClellan last night, it is clear the lying MSM is never going to admit their role in the deception. They never touch on their paid Pentagon analysts (who haven't been appearing, because the war isn't being covered. Coincidence?) and Wolf had all Bush's talking points.
Towards the end, I swear McClellan looked like he was going to cry. Wolf really pissed me off when he asked if Scott wanted to say he's sorry to the American people. I was like, SAY HE'S SORRY? WHAT ABOUT YOU, WOLF?!
Then Scott said, "For?" And I was like, he still doesn't get it. The proper response would have been, "Yes, I am Wolf, are you?"
Then Wolf dropped on his knees and said Bush isn't going to read the book, but he's going to forgive McClellan. Are you fucking shitting me? Don't get any jism in your beard, Wolf.
Anyhow, on the third day, the Globe has gone from an A2 national lead to an A10 two-incher to two A6 right-corner briefs.
I'll bet tomorrow there is nothing!!!
"Democrats use McClellan book to link McCain, Bush
No surprise, but Democrats are trying to make hay from former White House press secretary Scott McClellan's explosive tell-all book, accusing John McCain of being part of what McClellan calls a "propaganda" campaign to sell the Iraq war.
Pffffffft! WHERE you been, DemocraPs?!
The Democratic National Committee released a new Web video yesterday that features McClellan promoting his book in television appearances, then shows McCain parroting Bush administration talking points in the run-up to the war. The 1-minute video shows McCain saying that Saddam Hussein presented a "clear and present danger" and that US troops would be "welcomed as liberators."
DNC spokesman Damien LaVera said in a statement accompanying the video:
"This week, the American people are getting a fresh look at John McCain's key role in the propaganda machine that Scott McClellan describes in his book. (Boston Globe May 31 2008)."
And look at the mean and cantankerous Bob Dole respond.
I'm never apologizing for my anger or language.
Not after what Dole wrote.
"Dole calls McClellan a 'miserable creature'
So Bob Dole, how do you really feel about Scott McClellan's tell-all book about his days in the White House?
Yesterday, the former senator and presidential nominee fired off an e-mail - first reported by The Politico - to President Bush's former press secretary, who has been on a media blitz promoting his book.
Dole wrote:
"There are miserable creatures like you in every administration who don't have the guts to speak up or quit if there are disagreements with the boss or colleagues. No, your type soaks up the benefits of power, revels in the limelight for years, then quits, and spurred on by greed, cashes in with a scathing critique. I have no intention of reading your 'exposé' because if all these awful things were happening, and perhaps some may have been, you should have spoken up publicly like a man, or quit your cushy, high-profile job."
Oh, Bob, I may call the president a mass-murder and denigrate politicians and Zionists (they deserve it), but I would never say people are "miserable creatures!"
I might call them OFFENSIVE and REPREHENSIBLE CREATURES, but not miserable!!!
McClellan, asked about Dole's missive, said on CNN:
"[I have] a lot of respect [for Dole]. I am speaking up. I have had time to reflect and go back. And what I'm saying is sincere. I am trying to openly and honestly address these issues, look back at my experiences, and learn the lessons from where we went wrong (Boston Globe May 31 2008)."
Which is why the MSM is dropping it -- because THEY SOLD US this BILL OF LIES!!!!!
That's WHAT WENT WRONG!!!
A COMPLICIT and ENABLING MSM!!!!!!!
