Trashing Bush for Fun and Profit (Rusted Sky)

Seemed like everywhere I tried to get news today was consumed with analyzing Scott McClellan's book, "What Happened".

Yawn. An insider wrote a book that sounds like it came directly from the most lurid dreams of the Left. In fact, it sounds like it could have been written off the Daily Kos.

Which brings up the question - if he was participating in something that he saw AT THE TIME as near evil, why didn't he blow the whistle?

Why did he wait until about 5 months before the election to come out with all this? (He should have waited - two months would have been MUCH more effective.)

And why did he do what he criticized others for doing?

Political Punch

Before he wrote his own memoir, White House press secretary Scott McClellan was rather critical of those who did the same.

In fact, some of the same language now being used to trash McClellan he himself used to trash previous administration authors.
On the book critical of the Bush White House written in cooperation with former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill, "The Price of Loyalty: George W. Bush, the White House, and the Education of Paul
O'Neill," McClellan said on January 12, 2004:

McCLELLAN: "It appears to be more about trying to justify personal views and opinions than it does about looking at the results that we are achieving on behalf of the American people."

Arguably, McClellan wasn't a terribly effective press secretary. Could this be a way of trying to rebuild his credibility? Or did he get a nice little nest egg that pretty much insures he'll never have to make nice to the inmates of the Inside Beltway Insane Asylum?

By the way - the comments to the above article are quite interesting. They don't seem to think much of McClellan's work, oddly enough.

Could it be folks are starting to realize the media's been showing us reflections in a fun-house mirror instead of actual news for the last 8 years?
