"In a shocking turnabout, the press secretary most known for defending President Bush on Iraq, Katrina and a host of other controversial issues produced a memoir damning of his old boss on nearly every level — from too much secrecy to a less-than-honest selling of the war to a lack of personal candor and an unwillingness to admit mistakes.
In the first major insider account of the Bush White House, one-time spokesman Scott McClellan calls the operation "insular, secretive and combative" and says it veered irretrievably off course as a result.
The White House responded angrily Wednesday to McClellan's confessional memoir, calling it self-serving sour grapes."
This is politics, backstabbing and lying. If I were Bush, I would be pissed off right now. Maybe Bush did wrong things, but this guy was working for him as a close aide. Now he goes off and tries to make money off of his former boss. What a jerk. I guess the plus side to this is that we get to hear the truth, or at least the truth according to McClellan.
