MSNBC: White House Has Had A Copy Of McClellan’s Memoir For ‘At Least A Month’»
MSNBC correspondent Jeannie Ohm reported breaking news this afternoon that former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan had provided the White House with an advance copy of his recent memoir “at least a month before excerpts became public this week.”

Current Press Secretary Dana Perino argued that the White House had taken “the high road” by waiting to attack McClellan until his book was reported in the press:

OHM: I happen to speak briefly with Dana Perino and she says she thinks this speaks volumes about the type of route that the White House chose to take, they took the high road in terms of not preemptively attacking Scott McClellan.

2. It's too damned bad that they didn't take the high road in terms of not

attacking IRAQ!

Perino is an ass.

Probably fact checking. It's a month later and they couldn't find squat.
