He's a slime. Not just because he was complicit in the administration's lies, but because he didn't bother speaking up about them until he thought he could make money from his confessions. He comes off like a big whiner and actually makes the Bush clowns more credible, because they can point to him and say, "Well, gee... you believe this guy? He clearly has no morals." <BR/><BR/>Asshat.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13850825844277186930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313509.post-88683395267993091832008-05-29T19:26:00.000-05:002008-05-29T19:26:00.000-05:00He said that he 'unknowingly' passed on false info...He said that he 'unknowingly' passed on false info regarding the Plame issue. Also don't forget it was Ari 'master of fuckhead smirk' Fleischer who did the lying at the onset of the war NOT Scott.<BR/><BR/>I empathize (-2 spelling) with your rage but he came in after the shit storm of our unjustified occupation was being shoveled into the fan.<BR/><BR/>The way you write this post, you sound as if you think it was him responsible, really, this kind of rage should be at Bush for lying in the first place about Saddam's immediate threat. AND Colin Powell for repeating that shit in front of the UN, not Scott. Although yes, Scott's role was important.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313509.post-26178888121930571032008-05-29T08:34:00.000-05:002008-05-29T08:34:00.000-05:00I think there is probably something to escaping th...I think there is probably something to escaping the groupthink in a situation like that and realizing what you are a part of, and then I think there is probably an almost Mafia-like culture you need to escape from, but the fact of the matter is, he is culpable to me and nothing he's said this week approaches an apology.<BR/><BR/>Not that I've heard anyway.<BR/><BR/>He's on Olbermann tonight. I'm curious to see what happens.Mr Furioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03781439243585972721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313509.post-38160303777114254302008-05-29T01:31:00.000-05:002008-05-29T01:31:00.000-05:00I think McClellan knew enough in '02 to realize p...I think McClellan knew enough in '02 to realize people he had admired were arrogant, deceitful SOB's. He should've resigned in disgust then.<BR/><BR/>I doubt McClellan carries around guilt feelings about innocents like the injured child in the photo. He probably rationalizes that many innocents were spared from ending up in Saddam's prisons and rape rooms.<BR/><BR/>I suspect McClellan does carry around some feelings of remorse, maybe even self-loathing, for the gap in time between when he realized he was considered just a useful stooge by Bush, Cheney, Rove and the rest, and the time he finally got up the cojones to leave.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313509.post-79302075353531134872008-05-28T21:09:00.000-05:002008-05-28T21:09:00.000-05:00I gotta tell you, Mr. F., your read on this is a b...I gotta tell you, Mr. F., your read on this is a breath of fresh air. Everyone but everyone, my beloved NPR included, is treating McClellen's book like some scandalous expose'. Like a grounds-eye view of the incompetence of the Administration.<BR/><BR/>Well gee, thanks Scott. There's no less than 20 other books just as scathing as yours.<BR/><BR/>Another indication of just how craven he is is the reaction of his former colleagues. This includes Pastyface Doughboy's assessment that "if Scott had a problem before, he never spoke up to the rest of us."<BR/><BR/>Well no shit...because your administration just fires people who disagree. But worse....Doughboy is right. Scott didn't speak up. That's exactly the problem. He lied, knew it, and did it with a fucking smirk.Noahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14345059376742159966noreply@blogger.com
