Lest we forget, Scottie managed to stay gruntled through quite a lot of bullshit. It seems he decided to disgruntle himself when the payday was ripe.

In other words…just another Bushie scumbag.

Did someone forget to give Scotty a job at Heritage or Freedom’s Watch?

It’s no wonder the Bush White House is dysfunctional - each current and former member, from W on down, is delusional. The cognitive dissonance must flow from the faucets.

Hell of a way to run a country.

“The book […] has been described to the President,” Said Perino, and continued: “it contains lots of words and long-ish sentences, and it would be quite unreasonable to expect the President to actually read it. Just as he did with the 9/11 NIE warning about an imminent attack on the United States, President Bush will instead let his eminently competent staff of bootlickers and yes-men review McClellan’s book. We will be sure to let you know when McClellan’s sentence is passed down, but expect his dead body to be floating down the Potomac within the month.”

I am actually astonished that there may have been something resembling a human being inside the robotic shell of Scott McClellan. Apparently he had a tiny spark of humanity in his automaton-like soul, since he is bothered by the lies and propaganda (two years after the fact with a book contract riding on some sensational revelations). Of course he never set aside the bullshit shovel for one second while he was actually one of Bush’s henchmen.

Indeed. I had always assumed that once you handed over your soul to work for BushCo, you never got even a tiny portion of it back. Perhaps Scotty is a better reader of the shifts in the political winds than any of us gave him credit for.

He’s still a Rethuglican douchebag though, and its going to take a lifetime of Hail Mary’s and assorted prostrations to wash that tattered remnant of a soul into a more acceptible shade of gray.

I repeat… Shorter McScotty: Sure, I used to be a whore, but it was the only way to hide my virginity.

When your party platform is greed and selfishness, what else can you expect from people once you stop paying them?

Shit, he’d be a bad Republican if he DIDN’T cash in.

“It is sad — this is not the Scott we knew.”

This seems to be the right-wing talking point, as I heard Rove say the exact same thing on Fox Noise last night. He also said, “It doesn’t sound like Scott — it sounds like a left-wing blogger.”

Ha! Gee Karl, I’m sure that really upset Scotty, as he counted his advance.

Scotty is gonna make the rounds of the cable shows, and I hope some right-wing nut upsets him enough that he will go beyond the book and go totally batshit on ‘em.

Bring ‘em down Scotty — you can do it! You’ll be a hero in the history books.

I could forgive a true-believer. They were led astray, but they believed.
Scotty? Fucking worst santorum scum in the world. He knew he was peddling lies. He did it for money. Push his fucking head up satan’s ass. He deserves worse, but I can’t think of anything else.
Colon Powell is in the same club. Shove him up Scotty’s ass.

Texas mafia is turning on itself.

Rove:…”It doesn’t sound like Scott — it sounds like a left-wing blogger.”

Oooooh! I think Rove just felt the pinch of the advance for HIS tell-all tome being reduced by at least seven figures!

Yeah he’s just a gooper cashing in. They, more than most should understand greed. By the by, I just heard Ari Fleischer the prototype bush liar, on NPR. He masterfully, in a chit-chat way smashed Scott(his best friend in the whole world), his story, and insulated Bush, and rehabilitated his own “brand”. His words were almost verbatim to Roves. Hmmm. Nice work by Day-by-Day. They made a Fox interview look brutal.

I always had a sneaking suspicion that Scott McClellan wasn’t a smart hire by the White House. He wasn’t a slick con artist like Ari Fleischer. He would get that “oh shit” look whenever the lies were so blatant that even our tame press corps noticed, rather than barely turning a hair and continuing to lie outrageously the way Ari did.

I’ll bet the Repubs realized their mistake and dead-ended him into some powerless wingnut welfare job that wasn’t quite up to what he wanted, so this is his sweet revenge. Go for it, Scotty.

As far as I could tell Ari just loved lying to us. He just enjoyed it.

Scotty always did seem like he had a little trouble sleeping at night (not that that forgives him for coming clean five years after the fact). Oh well, the doctors should have upped his meds.

Tony? Tony was so good he did not even know he was lying.

And I don’t watch Dana much but it seems she likes playing the dumb bimbo. She’s not one but that how she plays it so whatever. In eight more months she can write her own book.

I’m attributing that puzzled, vacant look on her face to her pondering, “Hey–didn’t I have a soul once or something?” Her own future memoir will probably be titled I Useta Be A Shill For The Nation-Rapers, But Now I Kinda Feel Bad About It, Sorta, or maybe just Taking More Than One For The Team.

In eight more months she can write her own book.

Advance word in publishing circles pooh-poohs the notion she will pen some kind of Bush White House tell-all.

Instead, some expect Perino to write a scholarly tome on the Cuban Missile Crisis.

And I don’t watch Dana much but it seems she likes playing the dumb bimbo.

The Peroxide M.O. is ‘I’m lying, and I’ll bullshit you to death, but I can also talk so fast that you’ll never be able to call me on it.’

This seems to be the right-wing talking point, as I heard Rove say the exact same thing on Fox Noise last night. He also said, “It doesn’t sound like Scott — it sounds like a left-wing blogger.”

Yeah, it’s the standard leaving-a-cult response: see $cientology.

I do not expect a comment from him on it — he has more pressing matters than to spend time commenting on books by former staffers.”

But I thought Bush read like a thousand books every year or some stupid number like that. He can’t take the time to read this one?

“Hey, George…how does Scottie’s book compare to L’Etranger?”

Still waiting for Mr. McClellan to make the public announcement that all book proceeds will be donated to the Veterans Administration to help care for injured soldiers.

. . . waiting.

. . . ever the optimist. . .

The wingnut response has been a laff riot. Here’s one of the loons at Red State keeping it classy:

You know what kids say on the playground when one of them passes gas? “First one to cackle laid the egg.”* Well Scott, I think you laid the egg. Suck it up and deal with it. And get back under the rock.

Geez. No class with this guy.

*Or, per Haystack, “he who smelt it, dealt it”.

The wingnut idea of demonstrating superior social grace - fart jokes.

He’s too hammered to remember. Same as W. can’t remember using coke, or having a three-way including a man whom he later named Ambassador to Poland.

Italics didn’t work right - the “Geez…” and “*Or..” lines were supposed to be formatted also.

Scotty is bitter.
Don’t know what got into ol’ Scotty, he was a fine team player!
Musta got his mind poisoned by libruls.

Every time I see Parino I think of Jan from The Office.

Similar in appearance and motivation. One sells paper, the other sells blood.

IIRC, Perino taught her dog to fetch a flipflop on the command “Kerry!” She’s a true believer.

The reality-based community never believed a word this man said before. Why start now ?

They are all very sad around the White House today. Poor Scott. I mean…it’s touching, isn’t it?
