Fuck Scott McClellan.

Excepts from McClellan's upcoming book are in the news, as the former press secretary levels more charges of dishonesty to add to what his publisher released in November, and he's getting a ton of press and making the rounds of the TV news shows to talk

Fuck This Guy

about it. Basically he's taking President Bush, Vice President Cheney, and the rest of the administration to task for lying on a number of issues of critical importance, things that literally are a matter of life and death.

Yes, that's right -- they lied. And what's worse (to McClellan), they lied to him. I'm sure it's tough to find out that your boss lied to you, but I have a hard time garnering any sympathy for him. What did he expect? He was the public face of a presidential administration which will go down as one of the worst in American history, and try as he might to distance himself from their actions, it can't be done.

Look, it's all well and good for him to come out now and talk about how the Administration got it wrong on the war and in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and how Rove and Cheney lied to him about Valerie Plame. Maybe he really has been troubled over the last few years by what went on while he worked at the White House.

But, you know, lots of people were saying those things at the time and McClellan was one of the main people responsible for making sure those people were ignored or ridiculed instead of paid attention to. What is this going to accomplish, besides selling some books? It's way too little, way too late.

Fuck him.
