I never thought I'd miss Dee Dee Meyers

NEW AND IMPORTANT INFORMATION ...... Thanks, Heidianne

HERE IS EVEN MORE IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

UPDATED JUNE 1, 2008

Does anybody see anything familiar in most of Scott McClellan's comments from his new book? It sounds like the typical information in any article out of the Huffington post, doesn't it? Karl Rove even said the comments he's made in his book are so unlike McClellan, sound so different than the man he knows so well, that it could almost be a liberal operative from a liberal blog who wrote it. "Almost be?" I couldn't help wondering if Rove actually knows who wrote it and what liberal blog he does come from.

McClellan worked as Ari Fleischer's assistant for 2 1/2 years and worked for Bush since 1999. Bush just SUDDENLY became this man he felt he needed to betray, or is there something about McClellan which made it impossible to resist?

As if McClellan, who bumbled so much he never could give us information without sounding like he had stage fright and confusion could write a book? Ari Fleischer's book is anything but scintillating, but it fills you in on some of the behind-the-scenes machinations at the White House so it's worth a glance. Funny, Ari never slammed the president and I'm thinking he could have, if he thought he warranted it and if he needed something snappy and provocative with which to sell more books.

I hope this makes McClellan a rich man, who would hire an employee like this who works for a boss, a president of the United States, and then insults him and his party's platform just before an election? Could he have quit when he felt something was wrong, if he really feels this way? Wouldn't that be more honorable? Is a 'tell all' kick in the face the 'good Christian' action he feels he needed for the 'contrition' he seeks?

And, does anyone know what gives him the expertise or knowledge to say "The Iraq war was not necessary," he concludes. "Waging an unnecessary war is a grave mistake."

He also says "In the permanent campaign era, it was all about manipulating sources of public opinion to the president's advantage." Don't look now, Scottie, but that's what all presidents do, it's their prerogative, it's your job to garner good publicity for him. NO worries, Scott, you weren't good at that, either.

I've often wondered how much better Bush's administration would have been served had they had people like Dee Dee Meyers and Mike McCurry. I'm sorry to sound so nasty about this thing but, as sour as I am on Bush right now for several reasons, something about a press secretary writing a book like this while the president is still in office, or at all for that matter, is disturbing on so many levels.
