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.

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

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

re: #46 rwmofo

Charles, you get a nice Hat Tip in the Fox Forum Blog. Wake up a few more hamsters..

Now, less than 24 hours after the announcement of the 300+ pages of pontifications worthy of tabloid hysteria, one of the ‘other factors’ has already been exposed. The Web site Little Green Footballs one of the world’s most widely read blogs, has uncovered the stealth publisher of McClellan’s Linda Blair moment in print— none other than leftist ideologue George Soros.

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.

re: #63 savage_nation

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.

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
