Only one additional thought. When you consider the reality that THEY ALL DESERVE EACH OTHER, everything makes sense. And to delighted democrats--after the Clinton Ethics Code, you have nothing to brag about.

John, you are one of the brightest people from an earlier generation, and I can't help wondering where you get all your most sensible notions.

If anyone has a problem with the facts described in the book, please raise it, because I have not seen one yet. All these personal attacks without facts (swift-boating?) only reinforce the case McClellan makes about GOP deceptions.

It is too bad when a good man sells his reputation for a few dollars. I can't believe he didn't blame Bush for global warming while he was at it. Someday he will admit he let them edit this book to make it more interesting. George Bush never bad mouthes anyone and has more ethics than he will ever be given credit for. He didn't oust Plame and you cannot put Katrina on him when a stupid Governor and enept crooked Mayor are the ones who should have done their job. Put if it makes you feel better keep on blaming Bush for everthing. He can take it --he has a backbone. Thats more than I can say----------------.

The valid information Scott gives us is too late for the tens of thousands of lives lost to an arrogant, ignorrant administration.
Why is what he is saying such a news event? Facts have been available to anyone not over engaged with Britney Spears or Bill O'Rielly for years.
Lets see footage of the families all over the world with gaps in their future from loss.
Lets look at the correlation of oil prices and administration decisions. Lets look at our own culpability for electing (?) this ignoramous in the first (2nd) place.
Scott is not news, the downward spiral of Americas future is news.
Lets fight for democracy here in the US by elliminating George Bush, by the means he used to remove Sadam if neccessary.

Why didn't you read the book?

Poor little President Bush. Oh well, he only has a few more months of being the world's dumbest pariah and having to deal with the fact that a large percentage of the American people hate him. Just hang in there for a wee bit longer and he can relax and go back to losing daddy's money on failing businesses.
It's not like most of this information hasn't been out there for the past 8 years, but at least now these criticisms are coming from insiders as well. Bush is the one that really, really needs to go back to Texas.

Scott had every right to hold onto his hard-earned job and do the best he could with tricky, difficult and character-lacking bosses----just like plenty of other Americans are economically forced to do all the time.
After he did his best for them, their new Chief of Staff dumped him for a celebrity press secretary from FOX News. So Scott went home sad. Then he thought. And then he thought some more. Then he said to himself, I served my President, even though he ran a house of jerks. My service was not appreciated there. Perhaps I can now serve something bigger than the President--the Country--even more and make some real money in the process. I know some truth and I shall tell it to the world.
If Scott can be criticized for not telling the truth, then we should do so. But if the criticism is only about whether he was "loyal enough", forget it. They dumped him and he has shifted his loyalty to a better place----to us, the people.

Scott McClellan is a liar and a traitor as are all of the cowards who covered up the crimes of this administration. His sudden attack of honesty and the supposed growth of a conscience are difficult to stomach.
