Fliescher on MSNBC: Something isn't right about Scott, that's

[Subdivisions]

not like him.

Ari put the blame on George Tenet.

[EV_Ares]

1. He is the third person of the Bush Admin that has said it is just not the

Scotty we knew.

1) Rove said it first this morning.

2) Dana Perino said it second.

3) Now Ari boy. Can't these people talk or say anything on their own without talking points.

[Jane Austin]

7. Dan Bartlett chimed in on MSNBC

with the same thing.

9. LOL, they are like a bunch of parrots and monkeys, eom.

[liberal N proud]

2. Not normal for a republicon to come clean and tell the truth

:wtf:

[orleans]

6. apparently ari and rove are still on the bush payroll n/t

[malaise]

3. Remember Ari is on the pay roll

in a nice think tank. All the spinmeisters are out in full today.

[Subdivisions]

4. Ari would be with him if it was about the Scooter Libby thing but

not this. Scott is just not the same person he was then.

Ari is shaken, HARD.

10. LOL, this is better than SNL, what a comedy hour, did you hear them

say that if Scotty did not think the info they sent him out there with was not true, it was his job to acknowledge it or something. Wonder if little Dana passed out on that one. Hell, it is ok if Bush, Rumsfeld, Rove, etc get the wrong info but now for Scotty to say he was not given the correct info was wrong on his part. Dam, Scotty is just not the Scotty I knew.

[Vickers]

5. "It's like....it's like he has..."

"...a CONSCIENCE or something!!! What happened???"

[lisa58]

8. lol

[ProgressiveFool]

13. actually, I suspect it's the backbone that surprised them

I think Scotty was the classic case of the fat kid who got to hang out with the cool kids because he patiently put up with them hiding his stuff, pantsing him, playing practical jokes on him, etc. In all his time there, I bet he was the classic kiss ass, and they figured they'd always own him.

Now that he's letting out a bit of his perspective (as revenge? being lied to about Plame seems to have been the last straw), they're shocked that he would turn on them.

[gratuitous]

11. Nobody would believe McClellan is a little bit slutty

So they have to say that he is a little bit nutty.

It's a damn shame the old Soviet Union isn't still around. They'd incarcerate dissidents in mental hospitals because "everybody knows" that the Soviet is supreme, and any criticism of it would be crazy. Same way with the Bush administration. Rather than go to all the bother of refuting what McClellan wrote, they're just going to say that he's crazy or not right or disgruntled or something else.

12. better put scotty on "suicide watch"

all this talk of Scott not acting like Scott has me concerned. Somebody better take his belt and shoelaces. Also any boarding passes for small aircraft.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

14. My first question to Fleischer would have been...Ari, how did you feel about spreading propaganda.

Any regrets like Scottie???

:grr:
