A Day Late, A Testicle Short: The Scott McClellan Story

I can't think of a more appropriate set of circumstances under which to write this review. The book was released 6 months ago and anyone who would have bought the book has probably already done so. I haven't read it, but I did skim the book cover and the blurb on Wikipedia.

Not only will this information be too stale to have any meaningful impact, it's also coming from a position of ignorance. We can now begin in earnest.

Let's start with the premise. Scott had major ethical qualms with what the administration was telling the public, so he resigned April 19, 2006. Hats off, if there were more people like you the world would be a better place. Then he leapt into action and blew the whistle... 2 years later. Way to sack up.


Your memoirs criticize the press for being too accepting of the administration's perspective on the war. My head damn near exploded. Are we talking about the same perspective that you, a White House insider with the benefit of additional, publicly unavailable information swallowed and regurgitated? You're criticizing people for eating the BS you served on a platter as the President's mouthpiece?

In a Washington Post article on June 1, 2008, McClellan said of Bush: "I still like and admire George W. Bush. I consider him a fundamentally decent person, and I do not believe he or his White House deliberately or consciously sought to deceive the American people." Seriously, I'm done. Fine, you like the President. I'd agree, he seems like an affable guy. But the title of your book is "Washington's Culture of Deception". Where'd you spend your time? Where'd you see all this shit happening?

This guy is surreal. If his mother was raped by the entire Cabinet, W, and Shooter McGavin he'd blame it on her being in the wrong places, on the floor spread eagle, bent over a chair, and pressed against the wall naked as those individuals, also naked, through no fault of their own, tripped and fell into her. I take it back. He'd say its really not her fault either. No one's to blame. Its the culture. Let's ignore the fact that culture is just the cumulative actions of individuals. Put down the Kool-aid. I hope he's still touring to promote the book. I'd love to take a dump on his table. You're a tremendous cunt, one day I hope you realize it.
