Scott McClellan: American Coward
Scott McClellan recently published a book wherein he described some of the lies and shenanigans of the Bush administration. Some people are celebrating him as a hero. I've got news for them: he's a fucking coward.
No, I'm not saying that because I think it's cowardly that someone would become a traitor to the Bush administration. Far from it. But I do think that he went along with the charade for far too long to try and blow the whistle now. Hey Scott, did you know that blowing the whistle after the game is over does nothing? Where the fuck were you in 2003 when you describe the illegal coverup of the outing of Valerie Plame? Or the overselling of the Iraq war?
Fact is, McClellan is jumping on the 'beat on Bush' bandwagon now that it has become popular. Were Bush still popular as a president, you can bet that this book would not have been written. Not that Bush doesn't deserve it, as he most certainly does, but I consider McClellan a coward for jumping on this bandwagon now that it has become popular, cashing in on the deal. A brave man would have take shit from the administration for maybe a year, and then quit, outing their illegal dealings at the same time. To stand up for your country and what you know is right, against a corrupt administration, that takes balls. Old Scottie M. has none. He could have been a patriot and called out the administration while they were in the midst of their lies, but he didn't. And even worse, he was their mouthpiece! He could have simply resigned and forced them to find someone else, but no, he spouted their lies for them. That makes him doubly complicit: not only did he know for 5 years that the administration was lying, but he told their lies for them.
By the fact that he is running snivelling to the more popular side of Bush-bashing now, he is providing further evidence of his cowardice. This cowardice, coupled with his greed in wanting to cash in on this new popular movement actually places him as a perfect fit for the administration: look out for #1, fuck everyone else, don't do anything less your ass is covered, and kiss ass.
Do everyone a favor: don't buy McClellan's book. If you must read it, download an illegal copy from the 'net.

The article you linked to has some great gems in it:
"While we may never know the answers, Scott McClellan alone will have to wrestle with whether it was worth selling out the president and his friends for a few pieces of silver," said Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Tex.), the panel's ranking Republican.
Is it just me, or is Lamar Smith actually referring to G.W. as Jesus?
