In Other News, The Sky Is Blue
May 27
What’s surprising about these revelations?
- Bush relied on “propaganda” to sell the [Iraq] war.
- the Iraq war was not necessary.”
- [T]he White House press corps was too easy on the administration during the run-up to the war.
- [T]wo 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
- [A]fter Hurricane Katrina, the White House “spent most of the first week in a state of denial,”
Only their source: Bush loyalist (until now, apparently) Scott McClellan

If McClellan had such views about Bush, he demonstrates his lack of integrity for staying on the job for so long and for keeping quiet so long. And, of course, the press secretary is the one who is in the position to determine when we should go to war.

Who says he’s “off the job”? I think this piece of stink is like the odiferous papers served up to Dan Rather. McClellan’s job was to write a piece of sewage that would smell sweet and totally misdirect the focus of the criminal enterprise that is the Bush adminstration.
The noise the McClellan book will obscure, misdirect and protect this admistration. These asshats stick together like maggots in rotting meat.

They are all out to get us. (and the fellow who keeps following me and looking in my files knows it.) It’s all a conspiracy. The sky is falling! The sky is falling! Get on your tinfoil hats and jump on board the mother ship!
