Once Bush is out of power it is of no consequence what shape his conscience may be. I am concerned as to how he remained in power so long and what forces kept him there and what they may be doing after he is gone.

When telling the truth is characterized as bad mouthing then that pronouncement indicates something very significant about the speaker.

So people are mad at McClellan for spilling the beans? Well there is loyalty to one's President, and there is loyalty to one's country. To have knowledge of serious crimes being committed by the President and not tell what you know would certainly constitute treason. That definitely includes Colin Powell.

That's true.

And now back to the subject of the thread, which is Scott McClellan's ghostwriting a BBBBB (Bush-bashing book for big bucks).

I wonder why the dismayed revelations of the deception of a man who thought he was acting with integrity is characterized as "snitching" when he is revealing something important of the basic nature of a regime to a public that needs to know the attitudes of the people in control. Should there be something like the "omerta" of the Mafia so that deceit and double dealings remain ever hidden?

Why did he not speak out about the 'culture of deception,' or at least resign, when it could have actually mattered? Why did he remain loyal to Bush in the days of 'Mission Accomplished'? Maybe because now such a book is a guaranteed financial success? Maybe because, unlike a few years ago, it can only improve his career prospects, given how unpopular and discredited Bush is and that the Democrats have a shot at the Presidency? It puts him in the limelight again for good measure. He was a willing, for-profit participant in Bush's deceptions; how convenient to change his mind, at a fee, now that he's no longer employed by him - once the party conventions are held, Bush will be so yesterday; publish this book much earlier, and sales would not have benefited from such low approval ratings.
I despise the Bush clique, but I have more respect for, say, Rice, who has stuck by Bush, than for rats that abandon a sinking ship; if you helped sink it, harming your country and the world in the process, at least have the decency to go down with it.

Quote:

When the departed Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill co-wrote an unflattering book about his tenure in the Bush administration, the White House spokesman said of the book: "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."

And when former White House counterterrorism chief Richard Clarke also published an unflattering book on the Bush White House, the press secretary said: "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."

The press spokesman who uttered both those comments about those tell-all books was none other than Scott McClellan, who has now written such a book himself.

Looks like Scott McClellan is a hypocrite!

Money money money!!

I wonder: If the Bush cronies are such liars, why should we believe them?

rutherfraud? similar. even had a similar supreme court controversy. though, i think it's a little different when vote-counting is stopped by the supreme court as opposed to the election by committee that occured with rutherfraud.

that and bush stole the election twice (unless you think that people lied at the exit polls).
