surprise, surprise....

All things being considered, one does have to give Scotty credit for being brave enough to not use the excuse that he was in Austria during the entire administration's run of lies.

Hey, a lot of Nazi's used it at their war crime trials. At least once the "I was only following orders" excuse didn't seem to be working too well.

He Knew.

We all knew he knew.

We knew that Scott McClellan knew we all knew he knew.

He really ought to be impeached, ya know?

I bet that feels good to get off his chest.

He either has much more integrity than we all thought (but then, why would he end up on that post, in the first place?). Or, much more likely, Bush's junta has lost her power of intimidation. The rats are jumping ship and speculating for a place in a Romney or Giuliani administration.

It will be quite lonely in Crawford, Dubya.

Something smells fishy. Such a short excerpt released from the publisher.. my bet is that when the book is published in its entirety the context of this will be something quite different, exonerating Bush, not implicating him.

Everybody wins - the publisher sells millions of books, the author gets rich, and in political terms for Bush.. I think the expression is rope-a-dope?

In 2002, John J. DiIulio Jr., who's the former head of he president's faith-based initiatives, is quoted as saying "What you’ve got is everything, and I mean everything, being run by the political arm. It's the reign of the Mayberry Machiavellis." He composed a 3000-word letter excoriating the Bush government. The Bush administration "solved" the “problem” DiIulio created by forcing him to recant a month later. (I expect that DiIulio, an academic, suddenly found his chances of ever keeping a tenured position to be shriveling up like Dick Cheney without a draft deferment.) When a guy who LIKED Bush’s faith-based initiatives writes a multipage letter condemning the government’s ability to function effectively, it looks WORSE when he is forced to recant shortly thereafter – Mao Tse-Tung would have been proud of the speed with which DiIulio was “reeducated”. McClellan is already backpedaling - his "reeducation" should be complete soon and this episode will fizzle out.

Please this is an honest question. What does it take to impeach Bush? If it was anyone else I am almost sure they would be fired at worst, in jail at best.

Is the US justice system that impotent?

The justice system has never, and likely will never, had a crack at Bush. The US political system is that broken.
