No More Mr. Nice Guy!

Getting off Scott free

What a shocker! It turns out that the George Bush Junior administration was all about lies, spin, and propaganda. Who knew? Umm... just everyone who hadn't drunk the Bush Kool-Aid and Jesus Juice.

Come on, is it really so "earth-shattering" to learn yet again that those corrupt criminal traitors lied us into a quagmire war that has cost us thousands of lives and trillions of dollars while almost infinitely enriching their corporate cronies? Or that they betrayed a covert CIA agent, thus making us vastly more vulnerable to WMD's, and conspired to commit perjury and obstruct justice? The only thing Scott McClellan's book does is highlight the political cowardice and inaction of the Democrats, and their refusal to do their clear duty and impeach, indict and imprison the bastards.

I have less than zero respect for McClellan. If he was genuinely disturbed by all the criminality and lying that went on during his tenure, he had every opportunity to speak out and resign. He's just sensing which way the wind is blowing, and trying to cash in by turning like a weathercock.

And of course I don't buy the White House's "more in sorrow than in anger" response for a second (except, of course, for the bit about Junior being puzzled). The dwarf butler is going to find a horse's head (or some other part of the anatomy) in his bed very soon. Already we're seeing the first breathless hints that McClellan is an Obama mole. Will the whole incident end up as this year's Dan Rather memos?

Anyway, my dearest wish is that the Scumbush and the Dick-in-Chief will stand trial in an international court for crimes against humanity. McClellan's tawdry behavior, if nothing else, reminds us that it's still not too late to start.
