Scottie Goes Dirty Again
Ok, who got to Scottie? He’s spinning the words in his book as fast as he ever spun the lies of the Bush administration. Surprised?
Well, ya knew it was too good to be true. A BushCo insider, a “made man”, ratting out the boss? It didn’t take Scott McClellan long to backtrack on the excerpt made public yesterday from his upcoming book.
Can you say, “damage control“?
WASHINGTON - Former White House spokesman Scott McClellan does not believe President Bush lied to him about the role of White House aides I. Lewis Scooter Libby or Karl Rove in the leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame’s identity, according to McClellan’s publisher.
Peter Osnos, the founder and editor-in-chief of Public Affairs Books, which is publishing McClellan’s book in April, tells NBC from his Connecticut home that McCLellan, “Did not intend to suggest Bush lied to him.”
The excerpt published yesterday seemed pretty straightforward. It makes one wonder who got to Scottie today.
