Selling out is prostitution, and we need LESS of that today, don't we?

The firm is owned by Perseus Funds Group, (holding company Perseus LLC) a capital management firm that grew from about $20 million in 1995 to over $2 billion now. Big infusions of cash seemed to help it grow exponentially and it closed funds almost as fast as it opened them. The board has tons of liberals from the Clinton and Carter Administrations with credentials that almost put Osnos’ to shame as far as far left causes go

Like growing money magically. Libs are outstanding at spending money, how come a board of them suddenly makes money so fast it almost appears out of thin air?

BTW, kudos for the outstanding catch!

The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder

Famed Charles Manson prosecutor and three-time #1 New York Times bestselling author Vincent Bugliosi has written the most powerful, explosive, and thought-provoking book of his storied career. In The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder, Bugliosi presents a tight, meticulously researched legal case that puts George W. Bush on trial in an American courtroom for the murder of nearly 4,000 American soldiers fighting the war in Iraq. Bugliosi sets forth the legal architecture and incontrovertible evidence that President Bush took this nation to war in Iraq under false pretenses-a war that has not only caused the deaths of American soldiers but also over 100,000 innocent Iraqi men, women, and children; cost the United States over one trillion dollars thus far with no end in sight; and alienated many American allies in the Western world

Related quote from Glenn's:

UPDATE: Clayton Cramer: "Still, I find myself asking this rather serious question: if, as McClellan says, he could see that Bush was intentionally misleading the nation into war back then, why didn't McClellan say anything? Why didn't he quit his job and blow the whistle? . . . It makes me wonder how much of this is that McClellan is trying to sell a book." Yes, it's hard to decide whether he comes off worse if he's lying, or if he's telling the truth.

MORE: Indeed: "It's not the disloyalty that bothers me. It's the press suddenly finding wisdom in a guy they previously disregarded as stupid and unreliable. It's inevitable that critical Bush-era memoirs will come out, but written by smarter people. I'll read those."

re: #72 Occasional Reader

From what I've seen so far, the book seems like a yawn. So Bush "kept an eye on the polls"... golly! Unlike, say, Bill Clinton, who would never dream of doing such a thing, right?

Not to mention that the idea that Bush launched the Iraq war for political gain is laugh-out-loud idiotic. In the wake of the quick takedown of the Taliban/AQ axis in Afghanistan, Bush's approval rating was, what, in the 70s or so? Rove doubtless told him that it just doesn't get any better than that. Iraq represented ONLY downside risk for Bush in terms of political gain.

I don't really see anything nefarious here. McLellan called it like it is.

- Bush relies on his "gut" at least as much as his brain - that's not news.
- Bush isn't reflective, and everybody suffers for it - we knew that.
- Bush doesn't plan - we knew that too.
- His advisors and cabinet suck - check.
- They BS'ed us with a WMD media blitz on Iraq because WMD was the only angle they could sell - yup. Wolfowitz admitted as much.
- They f-cked up post-victory Iraq because, like typical Americans, they assumed everyone would love us and hey, we fixed Afghanistan, right? This shit will be easy! - also not news.

You know, if McClellan hadn't taken the spin that he has, not only wouldn't he have gotten the kind of attention from publishers that he did, but he wouldn't have nearly the press he's getting now.

He had to throw this kind of nonsense out there.

Who would want to hear from someone from the Administration who not only supports what happened, but who confirms and conforms to the Bush desire for loyalty over much else (including competence).

Heck, folks aren't paying attention to Doug Feith's book, despite the fact that many consider him the architect of the Iraq pre-war strategy. You'd think that he'd get reviewed and judged accordingly, but his book will likely find itself on the discount bin before long despite his role in the administration.

All because he lacks the hook that the publishers want.

McClellan is simply giving the publishers what they want, and he's getting what he wants in return. A nice book deal.

Take it for what that's worth.

re: #5 Capitalist Tool

Yeah, I always wondered about the Vietnam vets who toured with Kerry in 2004. But that was the decision I made. Not so much cash payments, but the idea that they can fly around the country in jets, eat at the best places, stay in the nicest hotels, all paid for my the Kerry campaign.

I almost feel sorry foir McClellan. I think he was in way over his head from day one, in an elevated position only on the strength of his personal relationship with the President. Instead of leaving gracefully and with the gratitude he no doubt owed, he instead sold all personal honor and family dignity for a few dirty bucks. You don't outlive that kind of thing.

I once read a book published by Persus. A LLL Professor assigned it. The authors tried to disprove any studies that disagreed with their view by saying According to the XYZ "study," which was based on false information, etc.

There is also this idea......perhaps Pres Bush did fanagle to get Iraq invaded. But his goal was to rid the world of a ruthless dictator and supporter of terrorism.

Look at the editorial review of the JFK book by Publishers Weekly. Apparently, George forgot to pay them:

Bugliosi is not always temperate in his language; for example, twice he makes the nonsensical claim that some Warren Commission critics "were screaming the word conspiracy before the fatal bullet had come to rest." His decision to devote twice as many pages to critiquing Oliver Stone's movie JFK as to his chapter on organized crime (identified by the chief counsel of the House Select Committee on Assassination as the likely conspirators) is a curious one, as is the choice to open the book with a dramatic re-creation of events surrounding the assassination rather than a straightforward chronology of the relevant facts/blockquote>

Much less effective than Ari Fleischer, but that raises the question, Why did Ari quit?

We lizards know that Bush was to be preferred over Gore or Kerry, but we must suspect that Bush is a very flawed man. Do you all remember WH news conferences with AF? It was clear that he had to say things that he knew were not the untarnished, silver-shining truth. And it became clear that he was not comfortable saying such things. (This is not, however, to diminish his excellent efforts to deflate the sheer hatefulness of the press corps.)

re: #140 Pawn of the Oppressor

Transcript of Wolfowitz's interview in Vanity Fair

"Wolfowitz: No, I think it happens to be correct. The truth is that for reasons that have a lot to do with the U.S. government bureaucracy we settled on the one issue that everyone could agree on which was weapons of mass destruction as the core reason, but -"

He elaborated on this elsewhere (can't find the second interview), but basically he said that everybody had a laundry list of reasons to take out Saddam, and WMD was the only one that was at the top of everybody's list.

And the problem with that is...? This is a far cry from "admitting" it was "B.S.".

As John Keegan pointed out; even if the CIA had achieved 100% penetration of Saddam's general staff, they would have gotten the same information; all Saddam's generals believed that there was a secret WMD stash, they just all believed that someone else controlled it. WMD was "made" the headline reason because it WAS the headline reason. But Bush laid out the entire case, time and again.

I see nothing wrong, at all, with trying to shine a light on Charles, and the folks here, because of it.

More background thinking from PublicAffairs about "root causes." (Because the conflict is about what we do, you see).

"The many conflicts in the Middle East—in Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Palestine, and Israel—all have their special features, but they also interact with one another. Conveying this interaction has been one challenge of this book. Another has been to acknowledge the importance of the issues connected with American policies in the Middle East, and the strong feelings they excite, without getting lost in polemics. The polarization of opinion is often reflected in books that are seen as being for or against Israel, sympathetic to the Iraq War, or unremittingly hostile, cynical, or forgiving about official motives."

It's no accident. Wilson-Plame was Soro's grand plan to bring down the triumphirate of Bush/Cheney/Rove, and it failed miserably.

Actually, Fleisher went held numerous press conferences just about everyday after 9/11 for what? A year?
My guess is with the Iraq war having just started a couple of months before he resigned, he could see he'd go through the same thing again, numerous press conferences on a daily basis.
MacClellan had been his deputy for 2 1/2 years, so he decided he didn't want to go through that again, especially since he had just got married.

re: #150 ContraJihadi

Much less effective than Ari Fleischer, but that raises the question, Why did Ari quit?

We lizards know that Bush was to be preferred over Gore or Kerry, but we must suspect that Bush is a very flawed man. Do you all remember WH news conferences with AF? It was clear that he had to say things that he knew were not the untarnished, silver-shining truth. And it became clear that he was not comfortable saying such things. (This is not, however, to diminish his excellent efforts to deflate the sheer hatefulness of the press corps.)

I think it had more to do with job burn-out than anything else. Dealing with the press on a daily basis has got to be draining... especially as the voice of a Republican administration.

McClellan’s father had to resign from the Texas Bar. Perhaps the son inherited some ill-fitting genes.

I think I may have read your post a bit hastily, and I'm sorry. Sometimes I try to read these fast moving posts too fast and I end up zoning a bit.

I honestly wonder if Scott was just hard up for cash and took a ghost-written book deal on a small lib-tard, Soros funded publishing company believing that people would be able to see right through it. I guess the appearances on the Today Show and Olbermann's nightly travesty blow that whole theory out the window, though.

There is absolutely no way McClellan comes out of this with anything even resembling a shred of credibility.

The ongoing reckless statements by Senator McCain are another indication that the Republican presidential frontrunner is mapping a road to the White House by staying the course that has been paved by President Bush; a course that will continue to advance U.S. imperialism, a course that will continue to benefit the rich at the expense of working people, and a course that has spiraled the U.S. economy into the worst recession since the Great Depression.

Take a look at this link - Wexler wants McClellan to testify before Congress about his book. Not a big jump to see where this is going - What a great way to take the eye off of Obama the Giant Gaffe Machine.

[Link: www.palmbeachpost.com...]

U.S. Rep. Robert Wexler, who has relentlessly pushed for impeachment proceedings against Vice President Dick Cheney, says former White House press secretary Scott McClellan should be compelled to testify before a congressional committee regarding the allegations made in McClellan’s tell-all book about the Bush administration.

“The admissions made by Scott McClellan in his new book are earth-shattering and allege facts to establish that Karl Rove and Scooter Libby - and possibly Vice President Cheney - conspired to obstruct justice by lying about their role in the Plame Wilson matter and that the Bush administration deliberately lied to the American people in order to take us to war in Iraq,” Wexler said in a statement.

reading Scott's agent's website, he says that this book deal was the "biggest in this publisher's history"

wonder how much that is?

I've got conflicted feelings on this. They go something like this:

2) Then again, I've spent enough time in Arab countries to know that a koffayah just ain't a big deal. They're darned useful, actually. Annoyance level: 1.

3) Then again, this appears to be the old black-and-white Palastinian koffayah, which carries more symbolism than mere desert gear. Annoyance level: 4.

4) But WAIT, it turns out it's not a koffayah at all, but rather a black-and-white paisley scarf. Annoyance level: 6, at myself, for bothering to pay attention to this. There are real problems in the world. Rachael Ray's accessories aren't among them.

KEFFIYAH.

KEFFIYAH.

Ya' fucking dolt.

The book led off the discussion at the State Department briefing today.

QUESTION: Just any comment on his harsh accusations against Secretary Rice?

MR. CASEY: You mean the accusations that are in a book that hasn’t been published yet, so therefore, at least I haven’t seen it. No, I think – I understand the White House has made a comment about it. I’d really refer to them for any comment. That’s where Scott worked and, you know, hey, everybody’s got to make a living after they leave government, so I guess he’s doing it, too.

QUESTION: Just to be a bit more specific on that, his specific comments were that no matter – that Secretary Rice was deft at protecting her reputation, he has – you know, he said, even when there were problems relating to matters under her direct purview, including, you know, weapons of mass destruction, rationale for the war in Iraq, the decision to invade Iraq, and post-war planning and implementation of the strategy in Iraq. And he also predicts that there will be a harsh, sort of, historical view or a view of Secretary Rice’s actions both as Secretary of State and of National Security Advisor. I wonder if you had any comment on this.

MR. CASEY: Gee, I’m glad he didn’t, you know, decide to take a view of how, you know, history will judge his fellow spokespeople or himself for that matter. Look, Scott’s trying to sell a book. I’m glad he’s trying to sell a book. I haven’t seen it. I don’t have any comment on it except to refer you to the White House. And they’ve already spoken to it, I think, twice today, so I’ll leave it at that.

A bit edgy. I like that guy.

... but, but Soros said he was quitting politics.

This is going to come as quite a blow to MoveOn.org and a host of other far-left moonbat groups, as their chief financier, transnational “progressive” George Soros, appears to be getting disillusioned: Anti-W Soros: I Quit Politics. (Hat tip: LawHawk.)

September 29, 2006 — Billionaire liberal financier George Soros, who spent millions of his fortune trying to oust President Bush in 2004, yesterday said he hopes to stay out of politics from now on.

“In the future, I’d very much like to get disengaged from politics,” Soros said at a Council on Foreign Relations meeting on the Upper East Side. “I’m interested in policy and not in politics.”

That's because Clinton (like Obama), will throw people, even those who were extremely loyal to him, under the bus if it's politically expedient.

President Bush is not that way, and maybe it has cost him, but he cares about the people who work for him. They're like family. He truly cares about those people, and even when it hurts him politically, he'll stick by them because of their loyalty to him.

Uh, no. It depends where you learn to pronounce the word. There's not a particular transliteration from Arabic to English.

re: #239 MandyManners

KEFFIYAH.

KEFFIYAH.

Ya' fucking dolt.

Keffiyeh is often spelled kaffiyah, keffiya, kaffiya, kufiya or some other variation. There is little basis for considering any one of these more correct than the others, as the varied spellings simply show different understandings of the pronunciation in Arabic, which differs from region to region, as well as different methods of transliteration from the Arabic alphabet to the Latin alphabet.

Neither Dunkin Donuts or Rachel Ray are or were at fault. I am sure neither knew or thought about the scarf. It was the Media company that did the set up.

re: #229 MandyManners

Yes he did. He also had one other fault...trusting the word of liberals (read my lips). G.H.W Bush made a deal with the leftists and they stabbed him in the back BIG TIME. That should've been a lesson for his son but it doesn't seem to have been. Now we face the prospect of a person being president,McCain,who has kissed up to the leftists more than both Bush's together ever dreamed of doing. Mark my words,if McCain does become president,the leftist he has kissed up to will be his undoing.
