4. Why did Scott McClellen call on Jeff Gannon so often in pressers?

Media did not do it's job, but Scotty did his in that he aided and abetted NOT getting the truth out. He knew there were REAL journalists in the room, but he sure gave Jeff a lot of time to be a pretend journalist and pose 'questions' that really just served to frame the malAdministration propaganda.

Scotty HAD to have figured that out after two of Gannon's 'questions' but he kept giving him the go...

9. it sounds more like an indictment of Rove and Cheney (and a glove-slap at *)

President Bush “convinces himself to believe what suits his needs at the moment,” and has engaged in “self-deception” to justify his political ends, Scott McClellan, the former White House press secretary, writes in a critical new memoir about his years in the West Wing.

In addition, Mr. McClellan writes, the decision to invade Iraq was a “serious strategic blunder,” and yet, in his view, it was not the biggest mistake the Bush White House made. That, he says, was “a decision to turn away from candor and honesty when those qualities were most needed.”<...>

“Neither, I believe, did President Bush,” Mr. McClellan writes. “He too had been deceived, and therefore became unwittingly involved in deceiving me. But the top White House officials who knew the truth — including Rove, Libby, and possibly Vice President Cheney — allowed me, even encouraged me, to repeat a lie.”

11. hope scotty makes it to monday to be on olbermann

"What I do know is that war should only be waged when necessary, and the Iraq war was not necessary," he wrote in the preface.

The book, which drew a "no comment" from the White House on Tuesday night, comes from a Texan picked by the president and paid by the people to help sell the war to the world. The volume makes McClellan the first longtime Bush aide to put such harsh criticism between hard covers. It is an extraordinarily critical book that questions Bush's intellectual curiosity, his candor in leading the nation to war, his pattern of self-deception and the quality of his advisers.

"As a Texas loyalist who followed Bush to Washington with great hope and personal affection and as a proud member of his administration, I was all too ready to give him and his highly experienced foreign policy advisers the benefit of the doubt on Iraq," McClellan wrote. "Unfortunately, subsequent events have showed that our willingness to trust the judgment of Bush and his team was misplaced."

13. McLiar lied then & is still lying.

Busholini wanted to overthrow Saddam & his Regime. Busholini didn't need to be talked into it. The Intell was fixed for the Regime in order to invade Iraq. Busholini & his Junta are War Criminals, who also encouraged & supported Torture & Illegal Spying on Americans.

12. But, but, but...that was his job! n/t

[Wizard777]

14. I thought fingering Bush was Scott Guckerts job?

:rofl:

Why else would the White house hire an internet prostiute?

[JackBeck]

15. Lame.

You couldn't even get the name correct.

[Wizard777]

16. Which name? James Dale Guckert, Scott Guckert, or Jeff Gannon.

James Dale Guckert is his birth name.

Scott Guckert was his prostitute name.

Jeff Gannon was his White House Press Corp name.

[JackBeck]

17. His prostitute name was "Bulldog"

But what's pathetic is your attempt to make the illogical intellectual leap that Bush was being serviced by a male prostitute.

[Wizard777]

21. But but but they said Rove hired him to softball Bush.

From what I understand he even shaved and moisturized for it.

:rofl:

18. Go ahead....Take a whiff!

[ballsalicious]

19. damn... too late to add the photo! that would have added to the overall creepiness.

[Cleita]

20. So Scotty had pangs of regret and needed to

make reparations by telling some of the truth. Too little too late it seems to me. However, I don't blame Scotty as much as I do those "journalists" in the White House press corp who should have held his feet to the fire. Too often it was poor Helen Thomas standing alone trying to pry the truth out of him.

[ConsAreLiars]

22. No longer ass-tongueing Bush? That's an improvement, I guess (nt)
