I believe in the weeks, months, years to come with these current oversight hearings that are going on and that have already revealed a systematic agenda of falsehoods promoted by GW to mislead and deceive both the public and Congress- there will be revelations that will knock the socks off some of these old neocons....

McClellan is just one of many that see the walls of the castle crumbling....


Congressman wants McClellan to testify under oath


WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former Bush spokesman Scott McClellan should testify under oath on Capitol Hill about his explosive new book in which he sharply criticizes his old boss, a Democratic congressman said Friday.


A book by Scott McClellan, left, has sparked a strong backlash from his former White House colleagues.

Rep. Robert Wexler, D-Florida, said McClellan, who served as the president's press secretary before leaving the White House in 2006, would be able to provide valuable insight into a number of issues that the House Judiciary Committee is investigating.

The committee is looking into the use of prewar intelligence, whether politics was behind the firing of the firing of eight U.S. attorneys in 2006 and the leaking of CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson's identity, Wexler said.

In the book, McClellan wrote that President Bush told him that he had authorized the leaking of Plame Wilson's identity to the press.

"The administration has always called for different kinds of privileges to avoid their officials testifying, but because Mr. McClellan has put all this information in a book, these privileges, I do not believe, would be available to the administration, so we would have a free flow of information," Wexler said.

Wexler is a senior member of the Judiciary Committee

Hopefully they will make him do it under oath, then I wonder if they will be willing to prosecute him once he gets caught in perjury.

Bet you anything if he is sworn in under oath, lots of them comments in his book will become more hear say with him beating around the bushes, that strong yes or no answers. Heck I wonder if he can even remember what all his publisher added to the book and what parts he wrote?

Either way this man is a snake, either he should have resigned a long time ago or he is lying now. Either way you skin it he is still a low life, out to make some money because all you anti Bush Liberals will buy his book, no one would have bought it if he did not cause some stink.

Republicans are such sweethearts, aren't they?

Bob Dole says Bob Dole is mad at Scott McClellan.

The former Senate majority leader and 1996 Republican presidential candidate sent a nasty e-mail to McClellan calling him a "miserable creature" for his latest book blasting the Bush administration, FOX News has learned.

In the e-mail, Dole basically describes the former White House press secretary as a traitor looking to cash in on the "liberal" media's distaste for President Bush.

"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," the five-term Kansas senator wrote to McClellan. "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."

He continues: "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."

White House officials have sharply decried McClellan's book — "What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington's Culture of Deception," which criticizes the administration's handling of the Iraq war.

Following reports that McClellan received a $75,000 advance for the book, one senior White House official referenced the Biblical story of Judas selling out Jesus, telling FOX News: "Ironically, in today's dollars that amount is worth exactly 30 pieces of silver."

Press Secretary Dana Perino said the loaded charge in the book is that Bush and his senior advisers intentionally misled the public into the Iraq war, and knew more than they were telling the public.

"We have said over and over that the intelligence was wrong. And we have worked very hard, at President Bush's direction, to change the way the intelligence community works together, but what hurts us is the suggestion that we purposefully sent men and women into war without acknowledging the consequences," she said.

Several Democrats in Congress are looking at the book and considering calling for hearings.

Dole wrote that if McClellan had misgivings about the president's foreign policy, he should have spoken up long ago "like a man," or quit his job.

"That would have taken integrity and courage but then you would have had credibility and your complaints could have been aired objectively. You're a hot ticket now but don't you, deep down, feel like a total ingrate?"

This is the original Dole e-mail:

Scott,

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. 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.

In my nearly 36 years of public service I've known of a few like you. No doubt you will "clean up" as the liberal anti-Bush press will promote your belated concerns with wild enthusiasm. 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.

I have no intention of reading your "exposé" because if all these awful things were happening, and perhaps some may have been, you should have spoken up publicly like a man, or quit your cushy, high profile job. That would have taken integrity and courage but then you would have had credibility and your complaints could have been aired objectively. You're a hot ticket now but don't you, deep down, feel like a total ingrate?

BOB DOLE

BTW, I'm with Bob: I don't plan to read the book either. From what I've seen, there's nothing we didn't know already in McClellan's book.

Bob might be forgiven for being so harsh, though, if you take time to realize that his wife, Liddy, is not polling well against a Democratic challenger for her Senate seat. Might be a bit stressful at home for him. :D

How about all the others that have came out over the last few months/years with opposite info of what King George says or is saying- like Colin Powell, Richard Clarke, Greenspan, Brown, Tommy Franks, Jay Garner, JoAnn Waterfield along with scores of other GAO and GSA investigators, handsfuls of Generals, 1000's of assorted agency scientists, FBI agents, and lower management.....Many times already making King George go "BUT, BUT, BUT" (translation "DUH, DUH, DUH") before he changes his story and starts preaching another line of BULL....

The question I think of when all these folks come out with info- or testify in court or the congress the opposite of what GW has been propogandizing- and say that GW is lying--- and the Administration calls them liars and attacks their credibilty---
WHO HIRED/APPOINTED ALL THESE LYING WORTHLESS SOB'S :???: :wink:




McClellan says he's "Glad" to testify before Congress on the administration

Also discusses the CIA leak episode, Bush's alleged cocaine use, Katrina response

From Rebecca Sinderbrand
CNN Associate Political Editor


WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan said Friday that he would be willing to comply with a possible congressional subpoena to discuss the administration's handling of prewar intelligence, telling CNN's Wolf Blitzer he'd be "glad to share my views" if asked to testify.


CNN's Wolf Blitzer interviewed McClellan Friday.

Rep. Robert Wexler, D-Florida, said Friday that McClellan, who left the White House in 2006, would be able to provide valuable insight into a number of issues under investigation by the House Judiciary Committee.

The committee is looking into the use of prewar intelligence, whether politics was behind the firing of eight U.S. attorneys in 2006 and the leaking of CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson's identity, Wexler, a senior member of the Judiciary Committee, said.

In the book, McClellan says President Bush told him he had authorized the leaking of Plame Wilson's identity to the press.

Since they don’t seem to be able to dispute any of the facts in (former Bush press secretary) Scott McClellan’s book “What Happened“, the Republicans are employing their standard tricks and attempting to smear McClellan himself. Unwilling to even identify themselves, unnamed sources in the White House called McClellan a “traitor” and “Benedict”. In the National Review, they declared that McClellan was a “Hamas apologist”. Michelle Malkin calls him a “turncoat” and Jennifer Rubin calls him a “hack” and dismisses him as “probably the worst White House press secretary in recent memory”.

Ironically, this is exactly the kind of White House behavior that McClellan wrote about in the book. What better proof of McClellan’s claims.

Even worse, consider who is calling him a “traitor”. Does the White House really want to put that word on the table?
