Blog Buzz: Special Scott McClellan Memoir Edition

Since I first became aware of this book, I have tried to purchase it. No one has it. Barnes and Noble told me they only received 6-8 copies. Costco and Borders do not have it. It is unavailable at this time on Amazon.

Why??? I have never had this happen before with any book I have tried to purchase.

what a jerk! Listen to this guy! Not that I am a raving Bush fan, but this guy didn't fall far from the tree. I would change my name if I were realated to this "turn coat" It just follows form that the goverenment does all these things that we try to teach our children never to do. Its a different world.

Scott McClellan is son of Carole Keeton Rylander McClellan Strayhorn. Daughter of Page Keeton, powerful head of the Texas State Bar as far back as the Kennedy assasination. Barr McClellan, Scott's father, wrote about keeping the lid on LBJ's knowledge of the Kennedy murder. Carole Strayhorn has fliped on political party sympathies many times, but GWB knew that when he asked Scott to be his spokesperson. Scott's brother Mark McClellan is head of Medicare/Medicaid and before that worked high up within the FDA.

These boys aren't just ANYBODY. Their family has paid some heavy dues.

Rove says that McClellan's criticism of FEMA and the Katrina fiasco is unjustified, but Rove needs to answer what he knows about Oliver North's refusal to answer Texas Representative Jack Brooks question concerning the altered purpose of FEMA under GWHB when Brooks zinged him at the Iran-Contra hearings.

McClellan was a Bush insider when Joe Allbaugh, Governor Bush's chief of staff, was trying to put the lid on the Texas' Funeral Gate scandal which leaned on the appointment of Dick Cheney hunting partner Harry Whittington as the governor's "enforcer". The key Funeral Gate company, Houston's Service Corporation Inc or SCI, was later "selected" as THE funeral company for the Katrina victims.

McClellan was also aware of the Scooter Libby connection to Plame's outing, with Richard Armitage taking the heat away from Rove and accepting the role of "loose lips Armitage". Armitage took one for the Prez's brain having dodged an earlier bullet.....one during the Perot/GHWB presidential showdown.

Perot had teamed up with the most decorated Vietnam War Vet, Col Bo Gritz, to out Arimtage's connection to the Iran-Contra style drug smuggling in Burma's Golden Triangle. Gritz's video of the outing is available on the web and though his whistle blowing was shut out of the mainline media, his story was told on the Morton Downey Jr. program.

That, you may NOT know, brought on retribution from the Bush camp toward Mr. Perot and his family. He withdrew from the race citing threats to his children while the media spun the Perot decision as a the irrational personality of another Texas meglomaniac.

Is McClellan looking for his fifteen minutes of fame? I think he is trying to distance himself from an eternity of infamy.
