Countdown: Scott McClellan Under Attack

[88DinosaursxRule88]

What the hell makes any of you think you're qualified to say what's what in Washington? You don't know. You're just civilians. Stop making asses out of yourselves.

[monkeyman1140]

Let's not forget that when stuff like this happens, the President and all his cronies get together to develop an official "response".

Thats why Rove, Perino, Bush and other numbnuts in the white house all say the same thing about Mcclellan.

The Bushies do not allow differing viewpoints. Remember the last guy that differed with Rove and Rumsfeld was Colin Powell, and he was essentially fired from the Bush Administration.

[dajson]

Scott McClellan is just a rat trying to jump the ship. He was the mouthpiece of the lies he now appologizes for. I think he should go down with the rest of these traitors of America. This should not absolve him of his treason. Nice try Scott.

[sskurka63]

Don't buy into it!!! Yes I do agree they are many rats in this administration - as well as the past. It's a shame, however, you believe that there should be no forgiveness for liars when they try to come clean (which is a bush admistration m.o.) when their rats jump ship. Don't forget its these very people that are the ones who can help reaffirm what we already know to be true. If none of these liars are to be forgiven than why bother? GO SCOTT GO!!!!!!

[chabuka123]

Oh sure...Scott Mclallen should "have spoken up" like Joe Wilson did...? Or Richard Clarke..? The Bushies would have destroyed him...like they did Valarie Plame..?

[Ellipser]

BullsEye, Rosafanta. A kid at the time, I still remember the stories about US soldiers slaughtering children in Vietnam and the ferver it caused.

Realizing innocent Vietnamese blood was on all of America's hands is what set them to protest the wars. But with the help of the governments own people flooding America's streets with drugs and the media flooding America's minds with trash, is it any wonder the people are broken down mentally. America has hung itslef, both spiritually and finacially.

[AreWeFreeOrWhat]

Scott McClellan's book just confirms what many of us have known for a very long time, that Bush, Cheney, and gang are as crooked as they come. There should be no question of their impeachment. IMPEACH NOW and get it over with!

[PUCKSPELL]

Bush and gang are above the reach of the law. The Republic is over, this is not becoming rather is a fascist state.

[Ellipser]

Rove is nothing but a clone of Dick Cheney. Though he still hasn't been able to get the sneer down, they have the very same ready-to-go, beady litte eye's glare. With a side order 0f "How dare you fuckn' talk to me like that!?" "I am the king of the world!!" Spoiled little rich brats rant.

Those pussies crank out a mean talk, but they couldn't punch a water balloon without bruising those little girlie hands.

[sineaddeburca]

Karl Rove should be in Guantanamo. Bush and Cheney should be impeached.

[1962thunderbird]

Scott is trying to save himself from the gallows. He knows the truth will come out.

[Dogsw00f]

Hey Watcher, even (most?) American corporations have "codes" that employees must abide by -- if they want to keep their jobs, and perhaps avoid a possible lawsuit or prosecution. And, all f**king politicians are "scoundrels" to a degree. What planet do you hail from? You seem to be calling for perpetual scandal. The Oval Office isn't just the highest office in America, it's the highest office in the world, and deserves due respect; this is why we have option to vote the goddamned bastards out.

[Alicecbrown]

How wonderful: a little truth from the rats around the biggest rat, Bush and murderer, war criminal, etc. So yes of course, he knew he was lying, but better to come clean now than never. Course, as brilliant as the Repulsicans are, I think this is one way the Pubs can kick Bush to the curb and get SOME credibility, cause McClellan comes from a BIG Texas repulbican family.

[tcmiller]

First is Country then its family.Your job is not to defend LIES.So he Decided to talk now.I don't Care that he is making money.I want to know the truth.Especially when you have people dying behind a LIE. YOU HAVE to have some courage to do this when you are apart of an organization for the majority of your CARREER!This man is a patriot! And if he benifits from the sale of truth.GOD BLESS HIM!

[mysticman07]

Im sorry but america has been getting the truth long before this scumbag wrotethis book....richard clarke,michael moore, george galloway. they just wasnt willing to listen. And this scumbag was part of the campaign to dicredit these and others that was against the war. i hope he rots in jail!!!

[Carpediem77777]

Would help to interview people who did know this side of him. The Republicans are making it seem like his living a double life. I would think there are some people who knew his concerns and worry about the administration. If not then maybe there is truth to it being false.

[peterinto]

Sure he should have done this a long time ago. But better late than never. As for those of you like "DogswOOf" - how the hell can you make him the bad guy for exposing the corrupt practices of the Bush administration. Shake your head...

[Dogsw00f]

I guess those "like me" lean a little more toward conservative patriotism. Excuse the hell out of me and others like me for loathing scandal and seeing it as detrimental in an election year, and on the war-front. (You must not have a relative in Iraq. Good for you.) What exactly has Scotty boy said that we didn't already know? NOTHING. It's scandal for scandal's sake, and nothing more than trying to nick McCain's armor. I'll laugh my red-white-and-blue ass off if the Rebubs win in Nov!

[Metallic7Dust]

This whole administration has been riddled with scandals, so that must mean you loathe the hell out of this administration and it's inner circle. And it's not detrimental to McCain or the war-front; McCain wasn't going to win anyway, and 3/4 of the people in this country now think the war is categorically a bad thing, so how does it hurt the either? Just sounds like you're pissed that yet another person goes on record about the lying and deception, in turn making it even harder to defend Bush.

[Rosafanta]

You don't lean towards conservative patriotism. You lean towards blind ignorance and tacit support of traitors. If you were a true patriot, then you would be opposing the people who are destroying the country that you purport to love, rather than defending them while they continue their work of killing it. They have already wiped their asses on your constitution. What more do they have to do to shock you out of your smug apathy? You are an accomplice to a crime. The crime is treason.

[peterson553]

dogswoof, McCain needs no help destroying his chances at winning. He knows NOTHING about the economy, was deeply entrenched in the S&L banking scandal and has more lobbyists working on his campaign than there are honest politicians in DC.

WE DON'T NEED MORE OF THE SAME. Good riddance.

[tcmiller]

Call him a Liar and A traitor /Judas ,but I see a man that did America A favor. He got a check and Americans got the truth.I see that as a WIN/win.THATS CAPITALISM. THATS Democracy. Thats American.

[Dogsw00f]

How has he done us a favor? We're in an election year. He had a moral duty to the administration and to his country to at least wait until after November. This is blatent politicking and pocket-lining by a greedy, sawed-off little "creature" and his publisher. And one doesn't have to be a die-hard Bush lover to be disgusted by this. I'm personally disgusted by the new depths we (as a country) are sinking to.

[rynorenn]

I believe telling the truth after the fact has no merit whatsoever! His credibility is about as sound as the Titanic! Liar, Liar, Liar...Money, Money, Money!!!

[4evaAL]

if the plan is to take over the oil in the middle east, why cant we just do it quickly...there should be an outcry..BUSH said after he finished running the country into the dirt, he is going to kick up his feet on his ranch....while families are losing their children,husbands,fathers..WHE­RE is the OUTRAGE??when families cant eat, and have no where to sleep..they are going to the politicians mansions front doors

[Dogsw00f]

I smell Oprah's Bookclub all the f**k over this deal.

[Dogsw00f]

Even those who hate Bush -- or all repubs, for that matter -- should unequivocally denounce the book and its author, on the grounds that it is un-American and immoral. The politics of our nation, our self-respect and our image abroad will further erode unless we take action now: beat Scott to a bloody pulp and burn his f**king book, then jam the smoldering ashes down his underpants and send him off to Guantanamo for a two-month sabbatical.

[watcher8o]

It isn't immoral to tell the truth... this guys conscience finally got the better of him. America has a lot of problems in high places, and even if the world sees us airing dirty laundry, at least it's a step in the right direction.

Interesting how you are hailing from the West Bank. Calling for violence against American citizens who don't fit in with your plan for the Middle East and the World? Many know who the real terrorists are.

[Dogsw00f]

The "problems in high place" should be held in trust, respect, sanctity -- at least until the adminstration changes hands. Our dysfuction should not be aired for all the world to see. With crap like this, we further weaken our country. Is it any wonder our patriots on the line are blowing their brains out? Shit specs like Scott-the-pillsbury-dough-boy should be denounced, then ignored -- not have is ass kissed by all the lib media.

[watcher8o]

All tyrants have been held in "trust, respect, sanctity"... Seriously, SANCTITY? You take us back to the days of "Hail, Caesar!" or "Heil, Hitler!" They are not god-men, they are scoundrels and criminals. The high crimes of high officials should be shouted from the rooftops not hidden by devotees. When Clinton was guilty of crimes, his were hidden the same as Bush's... look where it's gotten us as a country.

[noelefantino]

Wake up man, the real terrorists are the bankers, aluminatis and their bought government (at the moment George Bush and Co.).

Ron Paul and Obama are one of the real heros, because they care about America and Americans. Bushis give a shit about u and other tax payers.

[scalliwagrx8]

they need to wait until after Bush leaves office to pursue any charges against him and/or his administration. Otherwise he will do like his Dad did with his Iran-Contra cronies and pardon the entire bunch.

The day after Bush leaves office is when the serious investigations and indictments should rain down :)

[killterrorist]

s.clellan,you are a lieing trader thats for sale,they should be a law put in place for this type of MISTRUST! SCOTT You just showed the world how much you are worth $ SPEND IT WISELY BECAUSE YOU ARE DONE MSMBC AND ALL THE PEOPLE LIKE THEM ARE THE WORST OF THIS GREAT LAND YOU ALL SHOULD BE SENT ALWAY TOGETHER WE ALL WOULD BE HAPPIER

[SabuPtolemy]

And you are a pathetic, illiterate BushBot! Instead of thanking a fellow Republican for having a conscience and telling the truth you attack him and call him a traitor?! WTF is that?! NEWSFLASH bozo: The only people that need to go away are sheeple like you who continuously vote against their self interests and keep criminals like George Douche and his cronies in power. May you be enlightened one of these days......

[docm37]

We have an entire disgruntled nation behind you Scott! It is amazing that as few as they are, there are still some decent Americans in Washington after all!

Bush and his cabal of corporate super Zionist warmongers under the direct command of the Jewish Lobby have been robbing us the American working class blind, and sacrificing the lives of our children for the oil corporations and Israel. Our Dollar lost half it's worth, food, gas prices quadrupled and there is no plan or action to stop it!

[genious777]

Run for your life bitch!!! Wash your hand and let bush take all the blaime

[bvshizgei]

LOL! Testify in front of congress..? WTF is congress gonna do? Jeeeeeez...

[nesnman]

So Scott McClellen wants me to buy a book that he wrote. I don't think so. If what he wrote in the book is true then he should be put in prison for allowing a war to start .

[TELEVISIONARCHIVES]

You should never trust a man who sells a book to tell "the truth". If he felt this way he should have quit and talked about it to the press. He trying to make money

[psatm]

Maybe, but that could be a simplistic way of looking at it. True, he may make money (probably will) but if you have a truth to tell of this magnitude, simply telling it to the press is probably not a strong enough means, as verbally you are susceptible to interruptions, retorts, etc.

On top of that, there's much to tell, and any single press story may not be sufficient. It took a whole book for him to tell his side.

Should be interesting reading.

[TELEVISIONARCHIVES]

So he stood by and let all this happen . He let the war happen and now he's selling a book for money . Scott McClellen looks really bad here. He's the one who is saying now I will tell the truth , just pay me the money for the book.

[1962thunderbird]

Maybe he was trying to keep his job. Maybe he felt really bad because he was so close and loyal to Bush. He is just saying stuff people already suspect. This is just another piece to the puzzle. Did all the X generals sell books?

[TELEVISIONARCHIVES]

But he didn't have to write a book about it. He could have set up a website, He could have gone all the news and talked about it. Instead he's making a profit from a book because he didn't have the guts to tell the truth. And the timing of the book is also strange just months before an election. Scott McClellan is not credible at all here.

[oscarbeenit]

"You should never trust a man who sells a book to tell"the truth"." What the hell does that mean? If you ignore the truth just because it cost you money, the only thing you have left are free lies from the government and corporate media shills. The fact that someone is making money, doesn't turn truth to lies.

[hypnofan35]

Scott McClellen under attack from the creatures in that movie "Mars Attacks". Karl Rove is the "imperious" leader. They did a great deal worse than they are given credit for. They are almost like a bunch of gang rapers of the innocent. We have to do something about the leaders besides giving them Carte Blanche to rip everyone off.

[clautrice07]

Oh yeah, Libby is another criminal.

[clautrice07]

Thank you Scott McClellan. What would you expect from an administration that stole the presidency to begin with? The scum in the White House are working hard to discredit this good man. Yes they did keep him out of the loop ~ they fed him lies. Why isnt Rove in prison yet?

[hypnofan35]

OK Rove, if a person wants to speak up against Bushtoids or Hitlerzoids they have to plan on dying or getting the shaft one way or another. The Bushtoids cannot just get out of what they did by badmouthing the truth in the form of a "disgruntled" member of the group. It is so upsetting to see a collusional bunch of thugs in charge try to exonerate themselves by trying to belittle the only truth sayer. Are we throwing in with the worst people that ever lived and self congratulating?

[hypnofan35]

Probably the first thing that people should look for in power is that it is fertile ground for the inbreddedness of collusional beliefs and arrogance coupled with the ability to get away with it, or live in a bubble. We don't even know if GW is dealing with a full deck.. In hierarchy, belief and stupid get married, bump uglies, and have depleted offspring with the best possible health plan. Probably we should try to consider mental health issues with these people before we vote for them.

[hypnofan35]

Press Secretary/Crash Dummy have a fairly short life span in the Bush White house. Who is throwing who to the wolves now? I almost feel sorry Perino. Those Press fronts are little more than plastic water barrels on the superhiway of politics. They can only lie, back peddle and diffuse so much before it can be seen that there ain't not truth comin' out of that gaggle of geese. Bush is "mind controlled" in at least some sense of the phrase. We need to know just who or what is controlling him.

[wervasdeferens]

"massive CYA " Olbermann rules .

You're going down CONS !

[bulmer13]

good God, I hate hippies.  Cons? Seriously, get a life.

[wervasdeferens]

That's the fake-christian Cons' problem, you HATE too much ! Neo-CON

[clautrice07]

Folks, McClellan is going to be dragged through the dirt by the right wing media b/c of this honest book. they will say he is disgruntled, money hungry, or even mentally untsable etc... they all say 'this doesnt sound like Scott' or 'I'm puzzled' -PLEASE do not be brainwashed again with LIES. Do not be brainwashed by our right wing media, like FOX News... Think for yourself... Wake up... Do not believe the lies anymore.

[melvyd2]

They can smear him all they want. He only confirmed what most Americans already knew. Next step needs to be a deeper look into 9/11.
