Of course it is Frank Rich of the NY Times who ends the week with the best perspective on Scott McClellan’s new book about being the White House stooge:
“There is no news in his book,” Rich writes, “hardly the first to charge that the White House used propaganda to sell its war and that the so-called liberal media were “complicit enablers” of the con job. The blowback by the last Bush defenders is also déjà vu. The claims that Mr. McClellan was “disgruntled,” “out of the loop,” two-faced, and a “sad” head case are identical to those leveled by Bush operatives (including Mr. McClellan) at past administration deserters like Paul O’Neill, Richard Clarke, John DiIulio and Matthew Dowd.
“So why the fuss?”
The answer is here.
