In his political memoir, What Happened, Scott McClellan claims that “he stood at the podium and said he had unknowingly passed along false information.”
Didn’t the president claim this was the reasoning for the war, he received bad information, the same information McClellan wants us to forgive him for. Yet the president got no sympathy and neither should McClellan.
The reason I don’t think he deserves any kind of commendation for his new book is simple. This book is his chance to say the things he couldn’t say while he was working in the oval office. He allegedly was forced to lie to cover up for the White House .
In my mind, he didn’t have to. He could have quit, but instead he put his ambition in the political spectrum before his conscience. He is no different that the other politicians that we hold accountable. In fact, he might be worse, because now he wants to share what his thoughts were while the country is in a small turmoil. While gas prices are going up, home prices going down and foreclosures going up, War still raging on, an overall bleak view of the future, and the presidents approval rate stuck in lower limbo, Mclellan wants to show us even more negativity. He wants to bring everyones spirits down even more.
Sadly, it’s all to line his pockets with cash and exact revenge on an office that forced him to resign.
Thanks for doing nothing Scott McClellan, I think I liked the old you better.
