In the Bush administration, what are ya gonna do when somebody tells the truth...? Swiftboat 'em, of course...!

from tpmtv's veracifier...

Scott McClellan's surprisingly critical memoir of his time as White House Press Secretary put the White House in full-on damage control mode. McClellan's book may have been off-message, but the White House and its surrogates were conspicuously "on" in their response.

"If an entire administration lied a nation into war ... an 'inconvenient truth-teller-gate'"

i have deliberately avoided the entire mcclellan fol-de-rol, primarily because the focus of the entire spectacle is so divorced from the sad truth that our media salivated over scotty's lies like pavlov's dog... however, keith olbermann does a respectable job pulling the story together...

The White House Lie Factory

It must be pretty clear now - even to the densest of individuals - that Bush and his fellow weasels deliberately lied the US into the Iraq war.

So how does the US news media respond to a former press secretaries account of this reality?

They question his loyalty, his accuracy, his motivations.

And it's largely working.

These questions have framed the discussion of the McClellan book.

Not the fact that we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that Bush and Rove and Rice and Cheney lied, betrayed the country and did it for personal gain.

How many Iraqi civilians dead now?

How many US servicemen and women dead or injured gravely?

How many innocent lives destroyed?

And the f%$%ing brain dead news media is talking about whether or not McClellan was good team player?

Ignoring Scott McClellan

the biggest non-news news story of the week - a spineless spin-meister comes clean, dumping out insights and perspectives the rest of the world had figured out several YEARS ago... he was a weenie then and he's a weenie now... if there's anybody that needs to come clean, it's our traditional news media who sucked up mcclellan's bullshit like it was a 7-11 icee and now are oh-so-dumbfounded that he's ratting out his former boss...

bite me, scotty...

Oooooooo...! Scotty grows a pair...?

do ya suppose not worrying about being exposed to rovian rage has given the former chief white house spokesman liar some new courage...?

Former Press Secretary Scott McClellan says that the White House should be more forthcoming now about the CIA leak case that has resulted in the conviction of former Cheney Chief of Staff Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Editor & Publisher reports.

McClellan, appearing on CNN's 'Larry King Live' Tuesday night, said "I would advise the White House to find a way to get out there and talk about it and answer some of the questions."

The president's former chief spokesperson said it will be "interesting to see" if the Bush administration can "sustain its refusal to say anything through the appeal process," writes E&P.

i can actually muster up some sympathy for scotty... if the man has any shred of human decency and/or the slightest respect for the truth, it had to be hell standing up there day after day lying for your bosses... ('course, nobody had a gun to his head telling him he HAD to take that job or stay on as long as he did...)
