I'm Shocked, Shocked to hear this.

soros is the scum of the earth.

Surely all the media going ga-ga over McClellan will be eager to report this.

Sometimes I'm sorry we gave up on sedition laws.

FYI - CSPAN is now airing the DNC Rules and Regs Committee and
It's a gas!

Gotta go with what sells....these people never tire of Bush bashing...they're like broken records.

This still does not release Scott from getting it published as a hack hit job. He still had the right to shut it down and tell them no.

Scott was one of the worst press secretaries I've ever seen and deserved to be fired. That he turned around and wrote a book about it and then allowed his editors to manipulate it as much as he's claiming (which I think is a load) speaks more than the pages in his brief rise to the spotlight once again.

Scott, whether he realizes it or not, has been relegated to the post of Cindy Sheehan and her ilk and will not be given as high a position ever again. He's hit his peak and will fade into the moonbat headlights. Never trust a traitor.

McClellan always struck me as a guy of barely average intelligence who only got where he was because his mommy had connections. Certainly never seemed as if he'd be able to write a coherent letter to the editor, never mind a book.

It's obvious he's become a willing dupe. I hope he's happy with himself. By this time next week, the left will throw his ass under the bus and he'll have exactly zero friends.

Heck of a job, Scotty!

re: #4 savage_nation

Hows it going?

I'm okay, how about you?

Agreed Soros is a nazi collaborating scumbag. But McClellan is still the a-hole that produced and is promoting this hit piece.

re: #11 JammieWearingFool

Yep....moonbat roadkill.

re: #11 JammieWearingFool

Or he have a job on MSNBC

McClellan will soon find out that it sucks to be completely alone.

The left will use him for a brief time, but he is of limited value to them. Soon he will be cast aside like a used tampon

He has severed ties with many friends. He will regret his decision to be a tool for the left, only to make a buck

.

Perhaps he can get a spot on "The Surreal life"

Rush Limbuagh had a great show yesterday. (he doesn't always) Anyway - he read Bob Dole's letter to Scott on the air. Bob Dole ripped Scott a new one. I wonder if it's available anywhere on-line?

Does George Soros think U.S.A. stands for Ultimately Soros' America? Only if I had 5 Batrillion dollars to inflict my will upon people who don't want it.

re: #15 savage_nation

Just taking a few days off at home. Nothing special.

That is always special, I love my time away from work.

Some have argued that McClellan's small advance negates the financial incentive as a reason for McClellan to bring forward these charges, when the opposite is true. When George Tenet or Bill Clinton are offered millions in advances, they've already made their money. The books will probably not "earn out" (pay the author more than the advance) no matter how many copies are sold. With a small advance, the author is under pressure to sell as many copies as possible.

Interesting. Never thought about it before; how the whole thing works. So by offering him a smaller advance, they have more editorial control. The author is encouraged to write something more closely aligned with what the editors want, so that they all make more money. Huh.

Scott is going to be friendless after the left use him up. Oh well - he sold his soul to the devil and will probably have a pile of cash to enjoy with his void of a life.

I have more respect for the hookers at hunter's point than I have for McClellan.

re: #22 savage_nation

Thanks, Savage!

re: #9 savage_nation

I haven't. There has to be some way to resurrect the Alien and Sedition Act. As well as shove RICO up the pieholes of known traitors.

Id bring back HUAC too.

I hear you on that. Bring 'em back, but in a way the minority opinion can't be abused. My fear for that is with a solid leftist government in all three branches we'd be on the short end of the stick real damn quick.

Well researched and written.
Sales of the book will top out soon.

A little man with a little story is often found telling big lies.

Shaped? Yeah, I got a sense of that from a summary and excerpt being published about the same time the book deal was publicised.

Rush Limbuagh had a great show yesterday. (he doesn't always) Anyway - he read Bob Dole's letter to Scott on the air. Bob Dole ripped Scott a new one. I wonder if it's available anywhere on-line?

I mentioned it here.

"There are miserable creatures like you in every administration who don’t have the guts to speak up or quit if there are disagreements with the boss or colleagues," Dole wrote. "No, your type soaks up the benefits of power, revels in the limelight for years, then quits, and spurred on by greed, cashes in with a scathing critique."

"No doubt you will 'clean up' as the liberal anti-Bush press will promote your belated concerns with wild enthusiasm," Dole added. "When the money starts rolling in you should donate it to a worthy cause, something like, 'Biting The Hand That Fed Me.' Another thought is to weasel your way back into the White House if a Democrat is elected. That would provide a good set up for a second book deal in a few years"
...
Concludes Dole: "You’re a hot ticket now but don’t you, deep down, feel like a total ingrate?"

re: #22 savage_nation

Beat me to it Savage. Stole my thunder LOL. Good job and quick too.

In other words, Osnos didn't look at the proposal of the book McClellan wanted to write; he was more interested in confirming that McClellan was disgruntled with the White House.

And yet we're supposed to believe these people wanted to out the truth. The truth is- they don't care about the truth, they just care that their world view is validated.

In Star Wars terms:

George Soros used is Sith mindbending powers on the weak minded McClellan.

The joke is the only people buying this book will be moonbats looking to confirm their preconceived beliefs and validate their BDS. Nobody on the right will go near this. The audience will shrivel up in a few days and the sellers will be looking dump in in the bargain bin at a buck a pop.

You can be sure some Soros outfit will buy them in bulk though to make it appear as if it's a best-seller. McClellan will probably be doing book signings at the Democrat convention.

Fraud all around, folks. This whole adventure stinks from every angle.

re: #36 savage_nation

Oh, I wouldnt have gone anywhere near Kearney that day. I had NOAA up and I was monitoring the entire situation.

NOAA is a fantastic webpage

Tornado watch in Washington D.C.? Pfucker must be giving another sermon.

While Soros may have manipulated him, McClellan still bears the responsibility for giving Soros what he wanted. He could have exhibited some dignity and principles and refused to write a hit piece. The fact he did not speaks volumes about him and his character. If he had been part of the meetings in which the various things he alleges to have happened had occurred, he could be lauded for speaking out and exposing a corrupt administration. He was not, therefore the only thing he has is innuendo and allegation -- he has no more credibility than Huffington, Kos, or DU.

With only a $75,000 advance, and working with a publisher and editor who were more interested in producing a book written by a disgruntled former Bush staffer than they were in the book McClellan had proposed, McClellan had every financial incentive to give them exactly the book they wanted.

scott- you back stabbing sellout..... Is Washington completely without a single man of honor?

Let's turn this around.

Imagine that the hit piece is against a Democrat administration.

Instead of Scott McClellan, let's call him (her) Linda Tripp.

There would really be no difference. The MSM would love her. Nancy Pelosi would say "I totally agree," and Linda would be treated as a beloved princess.
/

He was a dupe. He was a useful idiot. He was George Soros' pawn. It's an interesting character tragedy if you can divorce it from the damage he's allowed to be done to the country. One must look to his parents and attempt to determine what value system, if any, that was instilled in him that would allow Scott to be so without conscience. One might extrapolate that we have a whole flock of similar baby moonbats in the hatchery right now.

re: #40 JammieWearingFool

The joke is the only people buying this book will be moonbats looking to confirm their preconceived beliefs and validate their BDS.

Spot on and validated by one of my liberal friends. He will buy the book. Why? Because he hates GWB and OBVIOUSLY McClellan is telling truths because he was THERE in the White House.

re: #40 JammieWearingFool

Exactly!
My guess is the Soros machine is already buying the book in bulk.

So at the end of the day it turns out he wasn't a backstabber and he wasn't revealing anything we didn't already know he was just a gullible dupe. I actually think thats more pathetic because if you are backstabber at least its ACTIVE, it implies motive and requires action, being a patsy is passive, as a mark you just have to stand there and let you're rube-ass get played six ways to Sunday. Afterwords you get fired out of a cannon towards all the lefty talk shows and like a complete tool you think 'Wow I'm a celeb on that fabled 'wild ride' all these hit authors go on! Wow maybe I'll rub elbows with the Plames at a fund raiser one day!". Scott you leave us all disgusted, your boss sure is a sucker for hiring his pals and the kids of his pals and now, NOW, where are you? Used up and discarded like an old condom by the left and a pariah on the right. I see you getting a 80k/year job as a PR guy at some no-name nasdaq listed tech company somewhere or teaching communications at a regional state school like Eastern Iowa State College if there is one. Best of luck with that.

I watched McClellan do an interview yesterday about the "permanent campaign" theme he raised in his book and made it out to be some sinister creation of GWB. See, before him Presidents and other politicians only worried about the next election a few months before hand.

What a crock. The permanent campaign goes back as long as there have
been politicians .

re: #40 JammieWearingFool

It will sell more copies in Europe than in the USA.

Good morning.

Has McClellan answered any questions about the ties between his publisher and George Soros? I wonder if he'll go with the "Who Knew?" line.

George Soros is evil. Plus isn't he from Hungary or some other eastern European country. BTW that Roosevelt on the DNC committee is the grandson of FDR.

re: #44 savage_nation

He already knows the language.

re: #56 pingjockey

The head scratcher for me is he looks solid left, I often wondered if he wasn't agent planted long ago just to do this very thing if they got into a position to do it.

The fly in that ointment is he funded Solidarity in Poland. That was the first brick that came out of the old USSR.

Scotty mentions he wanted to tell "the truth" only after he was replaced by Tony Snow. Jealous much?

The House Judiciary Committee wants McClellan to testify. You are now just a tool Scotty. Will you lie under oath like Valerie Plame/Wilson did when she testified? Those who perjure themselves in favor of the Donkeys get to walk, but Scooter Libby gets a jail sentence for not remembering something. Justice my ass.

re: #55 Mich-again

Do you think anyone in the MSM is going to ask?

Interesting comment at that Fox Forum blog I linked to above..

Comment by Bob

Is Scott McClellan related to General George McClellan of the Civil War? I wonder at the similarities?

General McClellan failed to maintain the trust of Lincoln, and proved to be frustratingly insubordinate to the commander-in-chief. (Could Scott McClellan have had the same “frustratingly insubordinate” attitude and was taken out of the loop for obvious reasons?)

George McClellan was relieved of command, he became the unsuccessful Democratic nominee opposing Lincoln in the 1864 presidential election. (Was Scott McClellan actually forced out of the White House?)

His party (Democrats) had an “anti-war platform”, promising to end the war and negotiate with the Confederacy, which McClellan was forced to repudiate! (Will Scott McClellan be forced to come clean like George McClellan ?)

re: #55 Mich-again

Now the Wall Street Journal has "discovered" the ties between McClellan and Soros. Sorry Charles, no Hat Tip from the WSJ. That would be farrrr below them.

We'd merely note that the book's publisher is PublicAffairs, an imprint founded by left-wing editor Peter Osnos and which has published six books by George Soros. PublicAffairs is owned by Perseus Books, which is owned by Perseus LLC, a merchant bank whose board includes Democrats Richard Holbrooke and Jim Johnson, who is now doing Barack Obama's vice presidential vetting. One of Perseus's investment funds, Perseus-Soros Biopharmaceutical, is co-managed with Mr. Soros.

This book is less about George Bush and more about Scott McClellan's complete lack of character. When he shaves in the morning, there won't be a man looking back at him, he will shave a spineless rodent who sold his soul for a few dollars. He will rightfully hold his self cheaply, and so will his new found friends.

If people wonder why future presidents don't reach out across the aisle, and choose a cabinet with a broad range of ideologies and outlooks, its because of dingbats like McClellan. The lure of a huge payday and "atta boys" from the opposition is too great for the venal to resist. Look for future presidents to value loyalty and ideological conformity as the primary characteristics for future administrations above all else... including competence. Its too easy to spin everything into its worst possible light... millions of dollars and millions of votes are on the line.

George Soros is a Hungarian Jew. Why someone who survived the Nazi occupation of Hungary turned out the way he did is something I cant wrap my mind around.

My take is that Soros was warped into losing sight of everything except the thrill of his own power, having been an impotent victim of the oppressive Nazis The experience didn't develop compassion for others in similar straits; he developed a need to have the same kind of absolute power over others. It doesn't matter to him what he finances; he only cares about the high his money can buy.

Or McCain might win and put in a competent administration and BDS might not be as marketable. If Obama actually becomes POTUS look for years and years of BDS and showtrials to try to distract people from the crap that he is enacting.

SCOOP - Politico's Ryan Grim obtains Scott McClellan's six-page book proposal, which was circulating in New York in January 2007, nine months after McClellan's departure. His proposed title: 'The Unvarnished Truth About George W. Bush: His Former Spokesman Talks Candidly About the President, the Press, Washington Politics, and his White House Days.'

Ryan writes: 'McClellan ... promises to 'get into the influence of activist liberal reporters, like Keith Olbermann, Nation editor David Corn, and Washington Post blogger Dan Froomkin, and activist liberal media personalities, like Cindy Sheehan, Michael Moore, Al Franken, Bill Maher, and Arianna Huffington. Instead, he did a 50-minute turn with Olbermann on his MSNBC program Thursday night - an interview in which Olbermann described McClellan's book as the 'Rosetta Stone for understanding the last seven years of American history.' '

What a scumbag that McClellan is. Bet he was the kid in class who raised his hand on Friday ten minutes before the bell to remind the teacher that she forgot to assign homework.....

re: #120 ploome hineni

well, I think the 'forces' trying to erase the JEws, want to bring back paganism and barbarism

replace ethical monotheism by myth and magic and mystery

yes, dark forces are gathering. they give myth, magic and mystery a bad name. fcking horde.

What with inflation and the time value of money, I don't think the $75K comes out to even one piece of silver. When scum like Scotty surfaces, I'm always reminded of "A Man for All Seasons." "That's a badge of office you're wearing", Sir Thomas More says to Richard Rich, a reedy, callow lout with a wispy mustache. "Attorney General of Wales." More replies, "Why Richard, it profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world... but for Wales? "

That aside, it is no surprise that Soros's spoons helped stir this pot. Those with fleeting recollections of the 2004 and 2006 campaigns will note the similarity, a series of almost monthly books or breaking news headlines designed to bash and bury Bush. It was so well choreographed, I could only applaud the mastery of their mendacity. I peg the 2004 start as the publication of Treasury Secretary O'Neill's book, the 9-11 hearings, through the whole Plame/Wilson nonsense up to the final days of the campaign when Dan Rather was to produce the final oaken stake. For my part, the whole charade was happily futile at that time.

It did build the base for 2008, though. I'm sure most folks have noticed that Obama is running against Bush's third term while studiously avoiding references to Carter's second. The HBO film about the 2000 election and small Scotty's ghosted screed are major opening salvos. Given the almost monthly schedule of the 2004 campaign, I expect about at least six more events designed to dominate the news cycle culminating, I'm guessing, in Oliver Stone's quick and dirty hatchet job. I know Michael Moore has announced, but I don't think he's got enough time.

Instead of treating these fabrications as discrete events, they should be viewed almost like a train schedule. The next one will be along as soon as the current flap has faded. I'll bet somewhere in the fetid bowels of Soros's squid-like organizations, there is actually a list of events and scheduled rehearsal times laying out when the book or story comes out, does it get the Charlie Rose or Bill Moyers interview, or both, when to break it on NPR, etc, etc, and so forth. The 2008 campaign has been planned for a long time and is running on rails. Like their model, Mussolini, they want the train to run on time. I suspect the clueless McCain will do little to interdict the supply.

re: #25 Shug

I have more respect for the hookers at hunter's point than I have for McClellan.

And the connection between hookers and McClellan is...

... they both bear the names of failed generals in the Union Army. But Hooker failed by being defeated, whereas McClellan failed by being weak, vacillating and ultimately turning on his President.

re: #106 ploome hineni

my take, is that SOros was convinced the only way he could stay safe is if he 'erased' himself

so he shed his 'Jewishness' and anything else that he could in order to blend in and survive

it is this motivation that drives his need for huge wealth which enables him to promote his agenda which erases borders, nationalities, religions and encourages a one world order

Soros was born a Jews, Soros became what antisemitism made him

Soros is how one person reacted to overwelming hatred from the world and being hunted for slaughter because he belonged to a despised group

I don't buy this as an excuse. I don't recall Soros's personal history being so much worse or persecuted than many other Jews who escaped Eastern Europe, many of whom secularized but few of whom engage in such active campaigns as Soros's to destroy Israel and Judaic practice.

New to this thread - Wow, Charles, as usual, does a great job of drilling down on the big credibility issue concerning the book -how much of the backstabbing screed is even the nominal author's own work?

That Soros funded the piece certainly hints at bending of facts, but doesn't drive the nail into the coffin like the paper trail shown here from publishing house to publishing house.

It was not a hit-piece before soros, and it was afterwards. No arguments.

The key to this douche is his upbringing. In Austin, Texas, his mother is an infamous political whore. She served as Mayor for a term and sold the city to real estate developers, got Austin into a deal paying 4 times the rate for a nuclear plant that cost the consumer more than any other city in the State, raised taxes every which way, and generally conducted business with anyone who had money for her. Thrown out, she moved on to other good old boy/old girl positions; One of which was the head of the board of trustees of Austin Community College. In this capacity, she wrote a book, excuse me, someone else wrote a book about what an amazing Mayor of Austin she was---a ground breaking feminist who always made it home to cook dinner--and required the College to use it in the State required Texas Government classes. I've read that textbook, and it is haard to understand how the auther found time to write it with his tongue up her butt. She became a worse drunk and went into rehab, became the sort of Christian that walks around with a 1" x 1" wooden cross on her chest, (along the way marrying another rich guy) changed parties, and became Texas Comptroller as a stepping stone to a bid for Governer. Bush took her son to DC with him in return for her support when he was Gov., but refused to back mommy in her gubernatorial bid--instead backing Perry. Mommy was steamed. Scott goes back home after being fired, Mom says "When are you going to write a book?" and the rest is publishing non-history.

To throw a keg of powder on the fire, there is compelling evidence that the sharp rise in gas prices is not due to fears over unstable supplies because of war, not shortages (of course), but instead because of millions upon billions invested in oil futures. (more people buying makes the prices go up and up)

Where are Soros' billions this year?

Of course it's not the same book hawked to other publishers, McClellan had not sold out for thirty pieces of silver yet. Indeed, it is fascinating that Scottie "Beam Me Up To the DNC Mothership", McClellan, did a repeat of the hatchet job that his father, Barr McClellan did to LBJ (for whom the latter worked as a member of the NLRB in the 60s. Barr had originally worked for Pres. Kennedy prior to his assasaination, and thereafter continued to work for Pres. Johnson.
However, In 2003 McClellan published Blood Money and Power: How L.B.J. Killed J.F.K. In the book McClellan argues that Lyndon B. Johnson and Edward Clark (a partner in the firm where Barr started to work after he left government service, and claimed that Clark and LBJ were involved in the planning and cover-up of the assassination of John F. Kennedy. McClellan also named Malcolm Wallace as one of the assassins. The killing of Kennedy was allegedly paid for by oil millionaires such as Clint Murchison and Haroldson L. Hunt. McClellan claims that Clark got $2 million for this work.

The assassination of Kennedy Barr McClellan claimed, allowed the oil depletion allowance to be kept at 27.5 per cent. It remained unchanged during the Johnson presidency. According to McClellan this resulted in a saving of over 100 million dollars to the American oil industry. Soon after Johnson left office it dropped to 15 per cent.
What the father tinfoil hat wearer doesn't explain is why Pres. Nixon an avid hater of the Kennedy's would adopt a policy, lowering the oil depletion allowance that was allegedly going to be put in place by the late Pres. Kennedy, rather than keep the numbers at the levels set by Nixon's old boss, Pres. Eisenhower.
So father and son both in the tinfoil brigades, sold out for 30 pieces of silver their bosses, with sordid false and inflammatory works. Funny, maybe its in the genes.
PS I heard this on Bob Grant show, but googled Barr McClellan and the info proved very accurate.

People don't even have short-term memory anymore.

Soros didn't survive the holocaust - he cooperated with it!

People like to talk about Soros' "alleged" past - Soros talked about it on 60 minutes, it's no secret, he doesn't deny it.

If a Republican bigwig had collaborated with the Nazis, the MSM would never shut up about it - heck, they drop hints all the time, even when it isn't true.

Democrats don't mind snuggling up to a Nazi collaborator, it's not like he's done anything they wouldn't do.

George Soros was put to work by his father at age 14 - he was a member of the Judenrat - really rats who worked for the Nazis to save their own skins, and were of course the last to go on the trains to the camps. The Judenrat did all the dirty work - deciding what to do with the property of the transportees, deciding which Jews would go on the next transport - that sort of creepy thing. Little George somehow managed to survive the Nazis and ended up in London from whence he came to the US about 1961. George Soros lost his soul in a Faustian bargain somewhere along the line, or perhaps he never had a soul, and I have come to believe he is one of Satan's demons. What a story - you couldn't make this stuff up - a true tragedy, but the man needs to be thrown out of the US. If course he won't be - his money talks. I have always wondered why he hates George Bush so much. Perhaps George refused to give Soros something he wanted and this is his punishment for being obdurate.

I see interesting echoes here of Dr Kelly's comments after Andrew Gilligan produced his reports for the BBC about the "dossier", claiming that Dr Kelly told him how Blair's team had doctored the intelligence — claims Dr Kelly later described to another BBC journalist as wholly unrecognizable compared to the facts Gilligan was actually given. Essentially, it seems Gilligan took the little phrases and fragments he wanted, and used them to assemble the story he wanted to tell, rather than the one which fitted the facts.

I'd love to know just how much input the Soros editor had, versus how much McClellan wrote to suit their agenda and/or a desire for revenge. Perhaps McClellan will do a sequel, about how his paymaster kept feeding him dishonest lines in order to push the story he wanted?

Wonder if O'Reilly will broach the Soros connection when McClellan appears on the factor Monday? I can't believe he has the balls to face Bill. He frickin hates Soros.
