Since when did the evil, maniacal, vindictive, win-at-all-costs Bush Administration that everyone hates so much turn into an episode of Dawson’s Creek?
Former White House press secretary Scott McClellan, has written a new book which accuses the Bush Administration of lying, cheating, stealing, and, to quote, “Using spin and propaganda” to lead the nation into war.
And he also says some stuff that 80% of the country doesn’t already know. Like the fact that he was involved in both war spin and helping to mislead the public, a prosecutor, and everyone else in the world during the investigation into Chaney and Libby’s infamous CIA Leak scandal — going so far as to talk about secret meetings.
But, instead of just ignoring the situation or disregarding McClellan’s claims as irrelevant, like every person in power always does when one of their former allies turns against them, the entire fleet of White House toadies has come out in a row to talk about, like, what a total loser Scott McClellan is. From den mother Karl Rove being the first to respond, to a hilariously ironic faux-outrage displayed by current White House press secretary Dana Perino, as if what she has to say carries weight in the discussion of White House press secretaries doing whatever they’re told.
In any case, I have one phrase to quote back to this suddenly squeamish White House, as they bend over backward to discredit a colleague’s silly memoir:
Methinks the lady doth protest too much.
