Scott McClellan's new book called "What's Happening," is making heads of former and current BushCo. loyalists explode. I always enjoy that. Fran Townsend was on CNN this morning killing Scotty. Dan Bartlett joined Wolfie. Karl Rove was on H&C and says he's irresponsible in his behavior and compliments Scotty by saying he sounds like a left wing blogger. Thanks Karl, that's quite a compliment. You see, truth and honesty are now associated to left wing blogs and lying, distorting and Stepford like behavior is now what Conservative Republicans represent. He certainly is touchy about the Valerie Plame affair. He clams up about it because there's a civil lawsuit. OK, then why are you on our airwaves? He denies leaking the name of Valerie Plame too...

icon Download | play icon Download | play (h/t Heather) At the end of the clip he says this...

Hannity: Why didn't he leave earlier?

Rove: Two things. First of all this doesn't sound like Scott, it really doesn't, not the Scott McClellan I known for a long time. Second of all, it sounds like somebody else, it sounds like a left wing blogger.

Karl Rove denies every charge leveled by Scott, including the famous photo of Bush looking at NOLA from his plane.

The administration is coming out full force on Scotty. On the Situation Room, Bartlett said this via CNN:

BLITZER: He writes this in the book about the president: "He and his advisers confused the propaganda campaign with the high level of candor and honesty so fundamentally needed to build and then sustain public support during a time of war." Now he doesn't flatly say the president was lying to the American people, but that is the upshot.

BARTLETT: Well, I think this is the part that gives me the biggest concern about this book, because to give credibility to such an outrageous accusation that mostly was coming from the left wing of the Democratic Party is really disappointing.

And Billw wonders if Bush still stands by his man:

BUSH: It's going to be hard to replace Scott. But nevertheless, he's made the decision, and I accept it.

One of these days, he and I are going to be rocking in chairs in Texas talking about the good old days of his time as the press secretary. And I can assure you, I will feel the same way then that I feel now, that I can say to Scott, "Job well done."

MCCLELLAN: Thank you, sir.

BUSH: You bet. Appreciate you.

The Liberal Media Myth....Hahaha...

The response from the Bush administration and its amen corner to the blistering charges in former press secretary Scott McClellan's new book has been quick, brutal and predictable. Of course, it wasn't always this way. Once upon time, Scott McClellan was the perfect mouthpiece for the Bush administration and its right-wing allies.

Here, then is:
"A Look Back at Scott McClellan's Greatest Hits."

I am sure at the depth of his soul he (Scott) hurts. Look at the lives lost, the country we have ruined..as I said from the beginning all for male ego.

the gop reichwingneocons certainly like
to stab each other in the back. this
asinine hypocracy of rove was expected.
the bush administration busied itself with
f#cking the whole country and now that
one of their own speaks up, the
carnage will begin.

Why does McClellan hate freedom?

What I want to see is a tv show with all the people who have left the republican party and written these books -- books that have all ended up saying the same thing.

Let's make a list of them:

Scott McClellan
Richard Clarke

KKKarl: Second of all, it sounds like somebody else, it sounds like a left wing blogger.

Yes, I agree. Facts and reality are concepts of left-wing bloggers.

It's nice to see that McClellan has (somewhat) come to his senses, but I don't feel sorry for him.
He worked for the Bush Administration and had a hand in feeding the American public some of the most dishonest propaganda this country has ever seen.

And now that he has a book to promote, he's seen the light?

Enjoy that book money Scottie. Everyone now hates you.

karl knows he's cornered, and that the Seargeant-at-Arms will be showing up for him soon!

The Resurrection of Scottie McClellan Begins.

nothing worse then a left-wing blogger-- illiterate communist dregs--

Turn on faux Faux or any of the a.m hate radio azzhats. They are all claiming Scotty is just disgruntled and he wrote the book for money, so the book doesn’t hold water. In other words....ignore the facts and attack the messenger. Typical reich-wing scum.

McCLELLAN: “It appears to be more about trying to justify personal views and opinions than it does about looking at the results that we are achieving on behalf of the American people.”

McClellan also took issue with the book by former Bush White House counter-terrorism czar Richard Clarke, “Against All Enemies: Inside America’s War on Terror,” on March 22, 2004:

McCLELLAN: Well, why, all of a sudden, if he had all these grave concerns, did he not raise these sooner? This is one-and-a-half years after he left the administration. And now, all of a sudden, he’s raising these grave concerns that he claims he had. And I think you have to look at some of the facts. One, he is bringing this up in the heat of a presidential campaign. He has written a book and he certainly wants to go out there and promote that book.

This will have to shake out.

I have heard today from several sources that McClellans publisher may have made 'editorial' changes to the book. I'm am not certain as to the source of that comment.

After the book is released, McClellan and the others will need to comment - Wexler's site states he is going to call McClellan.

Looks like Wexler is demanding that Scottie MC testify under oath before the House Judiciary Committee. From e-mail I received today:

Last night, significant news broke that directly impacts our push for Impeachment Hearings and a possible Inherent Contempt charge for Bush Administration officials such as Karl Rove:

Former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan has revealed in his upcoming book that:

• Karl Rove, Scooter Libby, and Vice President Cheney lied about their role in revealing the identity of Valerie Plame Wilson – actions easily amounting to obstruction of Justice.

McClellan also admitted that:

• There was a coordinated effort within the Bush Administration to use propaganda to pump up the case for the Iraq war and hide the projected costs of the war from the public.

Scott McClellan must be called to testify under oath before the House Judiciary Committee to tell Congress and the American people everything he knows about this massive effort by the White House to deceive this nation into war.

Last week, a subpoena was issued for Karl Rove to testify before the Judiciary Committee. It appears he will take every legal action to block this subpoena. The truth is that Congress has the right – and obligation – to hold him accountable now - not months or years from now. It is long past time to pass Inherent Contempt and bring Rove, Libby and others before Congress.

We simply cannot ignore these recent developments, nor should we postpone serious inquiry until after the next election.

Your commitment to accountability for the Bush/Cheney Administration, and the support of 230,000 other Americans who signed up at wexlerwantshearings.com, has inspired and motivated me in my effort to hold impeachment hearings for Vice President Dick Cheney and Inherent Contempt for Rove and others. During the past months I have been a tireless and dogged advocate of this vitally important cause.

Many of you have written me, asking for an update on where we stand with regards to impeachment hearings. I know most of you believe - as I do - that impeachment hearings for Vice President Cheney – are not only justified, but that it is our constitutional obligation to look into the serious allegations of wrongdoing that have been raised. This is especially true based on the newest revelations from Scott McClellan.

I believe that it is the duty of Congress to pursue impeachment whenever there's significant evidence of wrongdoing, be it by Republicans or Democrats, regardless of the timing of elections or the current political environment.

Some of you have written me demanding that I deliver hearings or impeachment. As hard as I have been fighting for this cause, I cannot make impeachment happen by myself. What I can do, and what I have been doing at every turn, is trying to communicate two simple messages to my colleagues:

• the serious allegations of wrongdoing and the clear-cut rationale for impeachment hearings;and
• the fact that the public will support our efforts when Congress boldly acts on the side of justice and accountability.

Unfortunately, to date, these arguments have not been enough to convince even a majority of the liberal and progressive Members of Congress to support impeachment hearings. In addition, the leadership of the Democratic Party in Congress genuinely feels that pursuing impeachment will jeopardize our congressional agenda and threaten gains in the November elections. Although I genuinely disagree with this view, to date I have been unable to convince them to change this policy.

I understand the challenges that we are up against, and I recognize the odds that we face. Nevertheless, I remain unfazed and unyielding.

This new evidence from Scott McClellan could be the tipping point – but we must move quickly. I will use the McClellan admissions to help convince my colleagues that we must hold impeachment hearings.

Regardless, I will continue to fight for progressive values and our Constitution. I will do everything I can to pursue accountability for criminal actions taken by this Administration and this Vice President. I will be a furious opponent to any expansion of this misguided war, and I will fight against the use of torture by our government and to protect our civil liberties here at home.

Most of all, I will continue my efforts to convince my fellow members of Congress and voters, that we should not be a party of passivity - but that we succeed when we present the public with stark choices that are based on the guarantees in our Constitution, and not on the politics of the moment.

I will continue - at every pass - to call for impeachment and accountability. While I wish more of my colleagues supported our movement, we must not let our discouragement lead to apathy and distraction in this important election year when we must break free from eight long years of illegalities, corporate handouts, and a tragic and devastating war.

We should not end the calls for impeachment. I will push against the crimes of the Bush Administration whenever I am provided the opportunity. I will use my role on the Judiciary Committee to take on Administration officials – like I have done with Condoleezza Rice, Attorney Generals Gonzalez and Mukasey, and FBI Director Mueller.

I have not given up our fight to hold this Administration accountable and neither can you. I am grateful for your patriotism and your support. I'll continue to keep you informed and part of the conversation.

Sincerely,

Congressman Robert Wexler

Actually, I think that everyone SHOULD come down on McClellan for speaking now. He should have said these words BACK WHEN IT MATTERED. Saying it now is just saying what everyone already knows. The only thing that has changed is that McClellan can now make $$$ off of the distaster he helped to create.

The word of the day around the white house regarding Scotty must be "disgruntled" I thought employees who were fired were disgruntled. Scotty quit on his own. I think they like using the word disgruntled because most people associate it with an irate employee who returns to the business place and does something tragic.

An MSNBC reporter who talking to some white house staff said he heard the word "traitor" used in regard to Scotty.

I don't know why he wrote the book when he did but I know it's started a firestorm. Especially among the media news people who are now feeling a wee bit guilty for marching in lockstep with bush in his buildup for the war. Katie Couric admitted she felt pressure from her corporate bosses if she questioned the bush white house before the war.

This is the link from Wexlers site regarding McClellan

http://wexler.house.gov/apps/list/press/fl19_wexler/050808_mcclellanpres...

McClellan, better than anyone, knew what was coming: attacks, name calling, discrediting. Bush policy: kill the messenger.
Let's hope his wife isn't a CIA operative.

If nothing else maybe the media won't obey and push a strike on Iran now.

And the "fair and balanced" faux has picked up on those White House talking points and is gladly passing them on to the 28%ers. And the reich-wing is claiming that it can't be true since Scotty got paid for writing a book.

Vincent Bugliosi has laid the ground work for Bush and others to be charged and tried for murder following the end of the Bush administration. This is not a man to take lightly. He stated that this can be done seperatly in each of the states.

I doubt McClellan's 'comments' will result in any action against anyone. But it may not be over even after Bush leaves office.

Don't worry folks Bush has got a few more months to finish completely fucking up America.

When he leaves the white house (and he will leave) I wonder if Bush plans to take a dump on the floor of the Lincoln bedroom as a final up yours to America?

McClellan is a choad, but at least he had the decency to look kind of embarrassed when he lied. Not so for Rove. Lying is like breathing for that fat prick.

I would think it took some time to write -- he was very likely battling some heavy demons during the process, and he knew he had to be meticulous in the accuracy, even though he knew exactly what the Bush-people would say.

But as far as the timing of the book release, that matter is almost always controlled by the publisher, meaning that the decision is based on $, and given that priority I'd say the publishers got their end right.

It will be interesting to see if McClellan comes out and stands up for himself in public. It could go either way, but he'll never get another chance to twist the knife.

I am sure at the depth of his soul he (Scott) hurts. Look at the lives lost, the country we have ruined..as I said from the beginning all for male ego.

Sexist or not sexist?

Absolutely sexist. Sue seems to forget how many women are involved in the mess this government has created.

I love C&L. You guys are great. But let’s not get too self-righteous on this McClellan thing. We all spent a lot of time (rightfully) bashing this guy for all of his possibly criminal behavior while he was Bush’s press secret-ary. This mia culpa does not absolve him of anything.

That said, it sure is fun to watch the Repugnicans eat their young…

...I don't know why he wrote the book when he did but I know it's started a firestorm...

I would think it took some time to write -- he was very likely battling some heavy demons during the process, and he knew he had to be meticulous in the accuracy, even though he knew exactly what the Bush-people would say.

But as far as the timing of the book release, that matter is almost always controlled by the publisher, meaning that the decision is based on $, and given that priority I'd say the publishers got their end right.

It will be interesting to see if McClellan comes out and stands up for himself in public. It could go either way, but he'll never get another chance to twist the knife.

Allegedly his book exonorates Bush.

Is that why the republicans are giving it such glowing reviews?

I am serious - he blames those around Bush for misleading Bush. He doesnt blame Bush.

He is after all still a Bush sycophant.

whether he intended it or not, what he's basically saying is that bush is one ignorant motherfucker.

"....it sounds like a left wing blogger."

Yeah Karl, the sound of truth!

And Karl Rove is an all-American quarterback who can sprint the hundred.

Rove and Perino have already fired the fire ad homen attacks, calling McClellan a "left wing blogger" and "disgruntled." Let's see how many of the right wing bloggers jump on board after the release of the book.

Scotty is going to be on Countdown tonight. Can't wait to hear the cumulative hissy fits of the reich-wing.

Which could also be bad. Either Bush is a thinking person and is aware of what is happening around and can make infomed decisions - therefore he responsible for the mess.

Or, if Bush's IQ were any lower, his advisors would have to water him twice a day and change the dirt in his pot.

Every time I see a photo of that fat fuck Rove, I personally want to put a ball and chain around his ankle, hand him a sledge hammer, and steer him to 50 years of hard labor for his crimes and misdemeanors.

Hey, the logic is pretty clear on this one. Beloved Leader is the embodiment of all that is good and pure (L'etat c'est Dubya, if you will). Consequently, so much as *thinking* anything bad about him is to hate goodness and purity. Therefore, only America-haters and crazies would dare to impugn the dignity of that paragon of virtue, Beloved Leader. QED.

Thank God for libraries because I would like to ready little Scottie's book, but I'll be damned if I will give him even a fraction of a penny in royalty money.

dennis @ 19:

Billy Shears @ 5:

What I want to see is a tv show with all the people who have left the republican party and written these books -- books that have all ended up saying the same thing.

Let's make a list of them:

Scott McClellan
Richard Clarke

On the book critical of the Bush White House written in cooperation with former Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill, “The Price of Loyalty: George W. Bush, the White House, and the Education of Paul O’Neill,” McClellan said on January 12, 2004:

McCLELLAN: “It appears to be more about trying to justify personal views and opinions than it does about looking at the results that we are achieving on behalf of the American people.”

McClellan also took issue with the book by former Bush White House counter-terrorism czar Richard Clarke, “Against All Enemies: Inside America’s War on Terror,” on March 22, 2004:

McCLELLAN: Well, why, all of a sudden, if he had all these grave concerns, did he not raise these sooner? This is one-and-a-half years after he left the administration. And now, all of a sudden, he’s raising these grave concerns that he claims he had. And I think you have to look at some of the facts. One, he is bringing this up in the heat of a presidential campaign. He has written a book and he certainly wants to go out there and promote that book.

Douchebag.

Very little honor among thieves, liars and associated riffraff is there Dennis?

Thank you Scott for getting the media to talk about something other than rhetoric about super delegates, Obama and Clinton.

Hahaahaha! Boy, Rove ain't bringing his best BS-ing game!

I pray ever night that Rove goes to prison.

He's received the highest honor a former Bush regime member can receive: He's been labled a "disgruntled former employee". In that respect, he's in good company: Paul O'Neill and Richard Clarke have both been recipients of this "honor".

Rove is lower than whale shit. If I were him, I would be so embarrassed that everyone with an iq over 80 knew for certain I was liar.

If there's any justice left after this cluster@#$%^&, it'll be a federal indictment for Rove before Nov. Decisions, decisions, Karl: Cop a fast plea and gamble that Bush'll forgive him with a Presidential pardon, or roll the dice on a trial that won't be done until after January 2009? It's so much fun imagining him having to squirm through making that call.

I wonder if Scotty is gonna come out of the closet and tell all about the juicy details of his flings with Jeff Gannon/Guckart? Hookers in the White House! Big macho hooker with deep voices! It will be a disappointment if Scotty left out those hooker rumors.

Yes, and Karl Rove is a right wing nutcase. How come democrats and progressives have failed to make the term "right winger" something to be abhorred and solidified as such in the American conscience?

The sight of Karl Rove should sicken every American.

Folks we need a campaign to make that happen.

Ari Fleischer used the EXACT same words as Rove: He said that it "doesn't sound like Scott."

This whole "doesn't sound like Scott" stuff is just more White House talking point b.s., just this time it's directed at Scott McLellan.

Scotty should be indicted, not appearing on talk shows. He should be in jail.

Who give a flying F what Rove says?
Isn't he a fugitive yet? or are Fox's new studios in the basement of congress now?

Who the hell would want a any other type of "honor" from those clowns!

Well well well. All these quotes are certainly going to make for an interesting book cover when the paperback version comes out.

Can't wait for Brooks to declare Scotty an official "rabid lamb".

of course rove and bartlett will deny everything. soon, they will have a chance to deny many charges, but it won't be on fox, but in a court of law.

No surprise there, for this scumbag and his crime family.

It's the Yin~Yang totally out of whack............Condi's ego is also far, far too Yang~it's a question of balance, and this entire crew runs contrary to the seat of conscience, as well. The perfect storm for evil.

Hell, bush and ted bundy look as though they were seperated at birth. KKKarl Rove is just a pig, and he looks like one. I'd like to take a pitchfork to him, but when I really ponder the reality of it..........it's just not in me.

This is the first time I have entertained the thought that these monsters could actually end up in jail; a life sentence, in a real prison. They should be tried at the Hague, they will get off too easy here.

Rove is a pathological liar, and IMO, dangerous..........very dangerous.

kerplunk @ 77:

Scotty should be indicted, not appearing on talk shows. He should be in jail.

I totally agree. The man is a liar. Was then and is now. He's no "hero" just because he's written a book.

Rove's comment sounds like coming from a man with a noose dangling above his head.

All of the Neocons sound like parrots with this line:

First of all this doesn’t sound like Scott, it really doesn’t, not the Scott McClellan I known for a long time.

Scotty comes forth when he can make $12.95 a book. Everything comes with a price in the GOP, including the truth.

Hate, or disliking of the Clintons is really pate in comparison to aiding and abetting lies for the purpose of illegally invading a country that posed no threat to us or the rest of the world.

Left wing blogs=the corporate media? No, sorry, not even close!

on the drive home from work, i was listening to hannity--it's kind of a sick ritual i have--and he was frothing at the mouth over scottie's book and lack of credibility, and i wondered aloud to myself "but what about dick morris? apparently he has TONS of credibility in your eyes." then, as if on cue, he had a caller ask him the very same question. it was surreal.

They're sending out Karl Fucking Rove to spin this? He's the most believable guy they got? Is Roger Clemens not taking their phone calls? Is Jeff Gannon out of town?

Someone needs to make Rove squeel like a pig, as in "Deliverance!" I am just waiting for the day when he will meet his comeuppenance. Karma, Rove!

ChrisM70 @ 37:

pissed off patricia @ 33:

The word of the day around the white house regarding Scotty must be "disgruntled" I thought employees who were fired were disgruntled. Scotty quit on his own. I think they like using the word disgruntled because most people associate it with an irate employee who returns to the business place and does something tragic.

An MSNBC reporter who talking to some white house staff said he heard the word "traitor" used in regard to Scotty.

I don't know why he wrote the book when he did but I know it's started a firestorm. Especially among the media news people who are now feeling a wee bit guilty for marching in lockstep with bush in his buildup for the war. Katie Couric admitted she felt pressure from her corporate bosses if she questioned the bush white house before the war.

The Republican spinners have also been trying to paint his book as being "ghost-written" and constantly repeating that this book "doesn't sound like Scottie".

True Republican Denial.

Actually, Scotty was pushed out by Josh Bolton after the '04 election during a "restructuring". Which means they graciously 'let' him quit.

But here's my question: Has any other spouse besides Plame been outed or destroyed as retailiation for criticizing the Bushies? Of all the people named here, who else had a spouse or family member attacked the way Plame was supposedly to get at her husband?
Seems like a red herring to me, like maybe Cheney got nervous that she might be the one, or one of the ones to know how bogus the whole WMD canard was, and when Wilson strayed off the reservation, in typical overkill, they decided to take her down.

Treason, Treason, Treason.

Anyone asked Pelosi what's on the table now?

Sounds like a left-wing blogger? Doesn't sound like the Scott they knew? Is this the best you got, Karl?

Left-wing bloggers have a helluva lot more credibility than you have, pal. Is that you way of saying that these charges ring true to you, Karl? Doesn't sound like the Scott you knew? Here are a couple reasons why, Karl, you blowhard: 1) the Kool-aid you all drank eventually wears off; or 2) Neo-con zombies eventually wake up.

Keep tap dancing, Turd Blossom. See you in Danbury Minimum Security Prison.

My oh my, how worm can turn. It'd be hilarious if not for all the human suffering men such as Scott McClellan are responsible for. Worthless fratboy brat fuckturd.

I'm soooo looking forward to the day when the chickens come home to roost and Uncle Karl's zip code includes iron bars.

Is it just me or are Karl's "two things" just the same talking point said in two ways?

Its awfully convenient to all of a sudden get religion once you left a job of which you were paid a significant sum of money to do. Its even more convenient to do so after getting paid large sums of money to state as much in a tell all book.

I would wear an attack from Turd Blossom like a badge of honour. Welcome back to humanity McClellan! See you in court Rove.

Attention all Rush Limbaugh Listeners…Congratulations to Scott McClellan!

Being a long time listener and former “ditto-head” of the Rush Limbaugh talk radio show, I come to this discussion about Scott McClellan’s book What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington's Culture of Deception with a heavy heart for my fellow Christian Republicans. Wake up folks, you are being hoodwinked and deceived by the master of conservative propaganda himself, Rush Limbaugh. We need more people like Scott McClellan speaking out and writing books about what is happening in our country. Holy War, Neo-Con Jihad with Islam for Israel is not the answer for this country and let’s hope What Happened will shed some much needed light on this foreign policy agenda run by the “crazies” i.e. Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith, etc…Project for The New American Century…etc…

According to Mr. Limbaugh, the number one problem in America is “liberalism” and the spread there of. Attention Rush Limbaugh – the number one problem is lying and deception in the highest order from both political parties and the charade we call presidential elections every four years. It does not matter one iota what party is in power, it is all a game and you are the ringleader of the show. Of course you want Hillary to keep in the race to foster distraction in your Operation Chaos to make the Limbaugh Lemmings go out and vote for her as a “Democrat.” Shame on you for preying on the true patriots of this country and using them to scurry around aimlessly, or even worse, stir up hate for anyone who dares speak ill of the war machine, all the while you and your fat cat friends in CFR, Bilderberg, Washington Press Club etc. laugh all the way to the bank. As McClellan’s book points out, lies and propaganda got us into the new Vietnam we call Iraq and I dare say the “war on terrorism” is a “war of terrorism” against the American people. I’m not a “liberal.” I have a current Hawaii Republican 2008 card even though I don’t vote anymore. I guess I never got kicked off their mailing list years ago. In the 1990’s I used to go to Hawaii State Republican Conventions and vote as a delegate, all the while listening to Rush Limbaugh. Sick but true.

America people need to quit fighting each other and start learning about what President Eisenhower warned us about in his farewell address to the nation, “the dangers, whether sought or unsought, of the Military Industrial Complex.” People need to learn about the Federal Reserve System, a private company not “federal” and certainly with no “reserve”, not subject to audit or scrutiny. We are slaves for their fiat money that is about to collapse and Rush Limbaugh will blame it on the “liberals” and people will millions of people will believe him! God help us. Black vs. white, Democrat vs. Republican, women vs. men, poor vs. rich, does anyone see a trend? It is called divide and conquer while “they” steal our country in a variety of ways.

In other glaring behavior that should be obvious to real conservatives and true Christian patriots that call themselves “ditto-heads”, Rush Limbaugh was caught fawning over Pope Benedict XVI‘s visit last month in our Protestant nation. We better wake up to the influence Rome has over our “American way of life.” Google “Black Pope” and have some Kleenex handy. In addition to the “Pope-Fest 2008,” Rush has Dick Cheney and George Bush on his radio show to boost the lies that all good Christians must follow the party line and remain faithful to the GOP. We had a saying back when I was growing up… “Question Authority” and we could use a little questioning directed towards our “leaders.”

Congratulations to Mr. McClellan for getting a book out on the Bush Crime Family and raising people’s awareness about what is really going on in Washington. The culture of deception is nothing new. I look forward to getting Scott McClellan’s What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington's Culture of Deception and adding it to my collection of non-fiction books.

I recently wrote and published a book with James Files, Interview with History: The JFK Assassination, a tell-all never before revealed insight into the power behind the JFK assassination, the cover-up and the events that led to 9/11. James Files, a former assassin employed by the U.S. government, with a license to kill, was a first hand participant in the JFK assassination. He was the “grassy knoll shooter” and was part of a secret group known as “Operation Group 40.” Most members were recruited by George H.W. Bush. Do you ever wonder how the JFK assassination and cover-up was so successful?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_40
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/303_Committee#303_Committee

If anyone is serious about fixing this country, people need to know what the true problems are that we face as a nation. I hope with books like What Happened and Interview with History, the public can be made more aware of reality and not be so deceived with decades of propaganda from the likes of Rush Limbaugh or his imaginary nemesis “the drive-by media” run by the “liberals.”

BTW, Rush Limbaugh is also the one who told us Republican Christian Conservatives in the early 1990’s that Oliver Stone’s movie JFK was for “conspiracy kooks” and had no valid use to educate people about the events surrounding the assassination. One of the main characters from JFK, David Ferrie, is mentioned in some detail in our book Interview with History: The JFK Assassination. I pose a key question throughout our book when interviewing James Files…what source of power controls the agencies and the military?

The Bush Crime Family has terrorized our nation long enough. Unless people like Scott McClellan call “them” to task, it will be business as usual no matter is “elected.”

The key to America’s future is awakening the millions of duped Republican Protestant Christians, the “moral majority” that are the true patriots Rush Limbaugh preaches to Monday through Friday. I’m willing to do my part and take the flak for doing so.

To steal from the late, great Bill Hicks (on Rush Limbaugh)...

Doesn't Karl Rove just seem like the kind of guy who'd like to lie naked in a bathtub while a bunch of other guys gather round and...

The movie "American Gangster" was written by the subject of the movie. He sold rights to his own story.

Now all Scotty has to do is sell the rights to his own story the same way. Who should play the role of Scotty?

What a lame attack by this right wing scumbag!

As if calling someone a left wing blogger was an insult!

Being a left wing blogger is something to be really proud of!

Don't worry folks Bush has got a few more months to finish completely fucking up America.

fuck that fat pompous criminal

oh, and greg palast has intercepted emails from rove which prove that the repugs will be caging millions of black voters come november

ladies and gents...the fix is in...unless we get this fuck thrown right into prison

left wing blogger? scott has finally made the big time

i do love the line "when someone buys it and give me a copy"

i take it scott aint gonna be invited to any repug shindigs

If Scotty had said all this on the day he left, it would have carried a lot more weight. As it is, a lot of people are pretty upset. "Left-wing blogger"? Wow. That's about as vicious an attack as one can make. At least Rove didn't say "progressive."

Meanwhile, Rove sounds like the same evil lying sack of donkey spunk he always has.

I saw Bartlett on CNN and I was ready to put my foot through the TV.What a smug prick.

This will have to shake out.

I have heard today from several sources that McClellans publisher may have made 'editorial' changes to the book. I'm am not certain as to the source of that comment.

After the book is released, McClellan and the others will need to comment - Wexler's site states he is going to call McClellan.

I believe it was in an interview on Hartmann today. This is all breaking quickly. But the point - as I remember it - was that Bush was ill served and that Scotty was fingering Rove Libby and Cheney - not Bush.

I cannot hate Cheney and Rove and Bush (the puppet) enough. I've tried but I've reached my limit, there's no more in me. To expel that feeling, I certainly hope that the courts will, first, get them for Crimes against Humanity and have Fox News show live the sentencing, whatever it might be. Then I'll feel better.

We all need to defend Scott McClellan because the Bushies will try to discredit and destroy him. Surely he knew that when he decided to tell his story. I'm glad he's stepping forward, along with so many others. He's only telling the truth about what so many of us knew all along and many others have already verified. Screw Karl Rove. He's a criminal and needs to be taken down. When will the media and Congress actually listen and decide to do something about all this??

Rasputin @ 23:

Secret Service to Bush and Cheney:

"Excuse me Mr. President and Vice President Cheny... the new President has ordered me to relieve you of your passports. You are restricted to travel inside of the continental United States until further notice."

From your mouth to God's ears!! Go get 'em!!! They are war criminals and greedy pricks that need their  asses kicked big time !!! How I despise the lot of them !! I want the America I loved back and for these jackasses to pay for what they have done to disgrace the US!!!!!!! It will takes years to repair the damage. Lord, what will we do if America elects another jackass, warmongering idiot like  McCain ??????????????

I also don't think it's fair to suggest that McClellan should have revealed all on his way out the door. Realistically, exactly how would he have accomplished that (editorial, interview, press conference, Senate hearing-none of which would have been effective)?? Others have tried and look how much attention they get. There's so much, and who exactly would he have told? A book has a much bigger impact, and allows him to tell the whole story. We already know the media responds to everything this administration does with yawns and excuses. Besides, I'm sure he needed time to reflect and process the nightmare. I'm also sure he had to consider whether it was worth it knowing the firestorm it would trigger.

He's a criminal and needs to be taken down. When will the media and Congress actually listen and decide to do something about all this??

I agree 100%. Boy, are they going to try destroy Scott. Now don't get me wrong, when he was giving forth all that garbage, I was pissed at him. But, let's look at the cowards in the Whitehouse scrambling "to
punish him" for his new found courage to tell it like it is !! Yes, it is a little late, but better late then never!!! Keep the heat on the fucking Whitehouse!!!!!!!

I also don't think it's fair to suggest that McClellan should have revealed all on his way out the door. Realistically, exactly how would he have accomplished that (editorial, interview, press conference, Senate hearing-none of which would have been effective)?? Others have tried and look how much attention they get. There's so much, and who exactly would he have told? A book has a much bigger impact, and allows him to tell the whole story. We already know the media responds to everything this administration does with yawns and excuses. Besides, I'm sure he needed time to reflect and process the nightmare. I'm also sure he had to consider whether it was worth it knowing the firestorm it would trigger.

Right on the mark !!!!!!!!

Katie Couric is going to talk about the McClellan book.

Now, let's see...She will need an "expert" to come on her show to discuss the issue.
Who could she get? Who would be able to give her the inside info? Someone you can trust...
Someone with real credibility.... How about...

Ari Fleischer?!?!?

(Sigh.)

How about Dana Perin(oshit)?

Nixon and Staff = Watergate Crooks & And Convicted

Ford = Pardoned Nixon = The Fix Was In - Crook

Reagan & Staff = Treason - Sold Arms To The Enemy - Iran Contra - Staff Charged And Ready For Trial

Bush Sr. = The Fix Was In Again: Pardoned All charged in Iran-Contra To Avoid Convictions

Bush Jr. - The Fix was In again: Stole 2 Elections - Started Illegal War - Added Signing Statements To Laws.- Politicized all branches of government - Encroached on Constitutional Rights - Enacted vast coverup of lies on Iraq War and attacks on it's critics. And On And On. Continued Criminal acts and policys.

Want more of the same? Vote Republican. Vote McCAIN!

Why isn't Rove in jail? I thought he was in contempt of Congress.

They sure don't like it when ex-Bushies turn informant to save their own hides from possible future war crimes and mass murder charges.

The Valerie Plame thing proves that they knew the evidence was false. As retarded as he is, Bush cant claim misinformation or incompetence as an excuse for his pre-meditated, cold-blooded murder of hundreds of thousands of civilians in a non-threatening nation. Every single bit of intelligence and evidence screamed to the contrary, but we had to go through this bullshit charade of WMDs and missiles and terrorist links and aluminium pipes and uranium that was all conjured out of thin air with no basis in fact.

Uphold the law and remove these terrorists and killers from the positions of power they have used to commit their crimes. Its long past time these people were impeached, arrested, and faced the justice they claim to be so passionate about.

on the drive home from work, i was listening to hannity--it's kind of a sick ritual i have--and he was frothing at the mouth over scottie's book and lack of credibility, and i wondered aloud to myself "but what about dick morris? apparently he has TONS of credibility in your eyes." then, as if on cue, he had a caller ask him the very same question. it was surreal.

I heard that as well. Hannity can't answer a question not posed by one of his minions. Idiot.

Anywho, isn't Karl Rove the cutest little thing? OOh I just want to squeeze his adorable little cheeks right the heh off his smirky little face. Oh, and step on his glasses.

I cannot hate Cheney and Rove and Bush (the puppet) enough. I've tried but I've reached my limit, there's no more in me. To expel that feeling, I certainly hope that the courts will, first, get them for Crimes against Humanity and have Fox News show live the sentencing, whatever it might be. Then I'll feel better.

I'm thinking that they can't destroy him, they have no credibility. None. Nobody believes their BS any longer.

Yeah, they loved dick morris and even had a few chuckles over stephanopoulos's book iirc. Coming on the heels of Ollie -the traitor- north denoucing appeasement as well.

I think you can see the GOP glass house from space.

So Karl and Scooter were always off having meetings together. Very interesting. "Fox's very own Karl Rove" looks like a liar from the getgo. This entire administration is a full of liars who think that we Americans are too dumb or too insignificant to be told the truth. It's all about keeping us where we need to be, under their thumbs and too tired or poor or sick to fight back. Change can't come to fast!

Oh the radio today I heard a lot of attacks on Scotty but I didn't hear any actual denials of any of the allegations in the book.

I heard a little of Limpballs today (hey, I'm stuck in FRESNO), basically saying that "liberrrull media" are buying off guys like Scotty to turn on their Rethug pals.

pinkobait @ 126:

I saw Bartlett on CNN and I was ready to put my foot through the TV.What a smug prick.

I saw Bartlett on NBC and he was certainly well-honed for a calculated dismissal of McClellan. The "word of the day" had circulated pretty well through him, Rove, Fleischer et al.
I wouldn't hurt a TV if there's even the most outside chance of putting a foot through Bartlett's teeth.

You can get limpballs on 9 stations each afternoon (between 12 - 7) in my area, crying about that "librul" media. Orwell would be amused!

Just when my opinion of Rove hits an all-time low, and do not think it can go any lower, he forces me to go even lower. Right now, he is slightly above Satan, and tied with Hitler, Atilla the Hun, Jeffrey Dahmer, Jim Jones and Richard Speck.

RoothHussein@102:
Anyone asked Pelosi what’s on the table now?

Along with the labial/lip transplant, a new set of facio/muscular strings the bushites work from a hole in the back of her head.

No one can get inside McClellan's skin and know what experiences he had while mired in the miasma euphemistically called the bush administration. Nor can any of us know just when he had his epiphany and decided to come clean. When and how is not as much an issue as the fact that he has come clean.

Now, it's up to our Congress to use this information as effectively as possible to pursue criminal charges against the cretins who have made a mockery of our great nation. Please write or call Wexler and all other relevant politicians and demand that Bush, Cheney, Rove, Rumsfeld, Rice, Fleisher, et al face impeachment proceedings at once.

Now that you've destroyed all those emails I suppose it's just his word against yours. Don't cross the street.

"until somebody else buys it and gives me a copy"

What, the hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars you stole while you were repug party boss in the white house wasn't enough for you to buy your own fucking book?

He will make someone a really pretty girlfriend when he gets imprisoned. That's assuming that Chimpy doesn't just give him a blanket pardon for any and all treasons and felonies he perpetrated.
