Scott McClellan just endorsed Obama, folks.

You may want to talk about something else for awhile. THIS is real news.

[tekisui]

1. So, is that two from chimpy's gang, or have there been others?

[Bicoastal]

4. I think we've got the vote of those who QUIT...

...instead of the ones who were fired, indicted, or stayed on for no good reason.

[Mz Pip]

9. That really doesn't surprise me

He didn't get much Republican love after publishing his book.

Maybe we need to start a pool. What high profile Republican will endorse Obama next?

[LiberalAndProud]

17. McCain

[central scrutinizer]

45. Jeff Gannon?

[Ichingcarpenter]

14. My brother worked with his twin brother in Texas

and had met Scotty a few times in Austin. Said they were both nice guys but clueless republicans.

Fox news is really gonna go nuts with this endorsement.

[TheCoxwain]

I bet W, in a supreme act of final sacrifice will vote for Obama

[Bucky]

21. Heh. Or declare him an enemy combatant.

There's no legal reason why he can't nor recourse if he does, under the Patriot Act.

[CalGator]

26. Bush has never sacrified for anything in his life

I wouldn't expect him to start now.

[vaberella]

2. He's planning to do that since his book came out.

I think he said this when he was on Meet the Press or something on MSNBC.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

3. Yeah, but only because he's black.

[TheCowsCameHome]

23. McLellan is black? Next thing you'll tell me Obama is, too.

:rofl:

[MelSC]

33. HAHA!

How will the Republicans defend this one?

[jedr]

5. Jobs must be tight for unemployed Repubs!. n/t

[thereismore]

6. He is just a disgruntled washed up smeg. And he may be black, for all we know.

:sarcasm:

[cookiesaredelish]

7. another vote for obama in fake VA?

[HughMoran]

8. Now THIS is a real news story!!

I say this is more good news for Obama - like the jackass or not.

[ErinBerin84]

10. I would think it was for publicity

but I do think that Palin did scare people away. lol...scared straight.

[napi21]

28. I don't think so. I think Scotty liked and really trusted Shrub, and was

terribly disappointed and hurt when found out he couldn't.

The other person I think is upset & disappointed is Gonzo! The only thing I've hear about him since he quit was that he can't find a job. I believe he also thought he would receive lifetime support in return for his years of loyalty, but he was apparently tossed aside like a piece of trash.

Boy, I'd LOVE to see HIM endorse Obama! Talk about HEADLINE NEWS!

[MrCoffee]

32. Awww, poor widdle Scotty got his feelings hurt

Screw him and the horse he rode in on.

[napi21]

46. I hear what you're saying, but haven't you ever been totally disappointed

and disgusted by a close friend of YOURS by something they said or did that you would have sworn they never would have done? I HAVE! Not often, but it has happened, and to this day, those feelings are still there.

[aasleka]

11. Seeking redemption?

[blue_onyx]

29. Probably

It's annoying how people only step up and say something when it's too late and the damage has been done (and when they have a book to sell).

[Blue_In_AK]

12. Well, that's excellent.

I've noticed that little Scottie looks so-o-o-o much more relaxed when you see him on TV these days. It must have been horrible having to go out and lie for ** every day.

[SoonerPride]

13. There goes sittin' on the porch yukking it up with W.

Of course, that ship sailed when he wrote his book so what else did he have to lose?

[texasleo]

15. librul eleet

[KayLaw]

16. OMG!

You're right. The fake attack is a stupid distraction, though I think the girl should be further questioned by the police.

[AlCzervik]

18. well Scott's black.

[kwolf68]

19. I bet they are working on a plan

To have all these Bush administration people endorse Obama, so that McCain then say, "look at all the Bush people who support Obama...Obama is Bush, more of the same...Vote for me Ill reform government with my Mavericky sidekick"

[Bicoastal]

20. I'm just glad the turncoats are people who QUIT the administration...

...instead of being fired, indicted, or are still hanging on.

[MrCoffee]

22. He's still a scumbag.

[SeeHopeWin]

24. Holly shit, this is good to see!

[TheCML]

25. This is the same man

Who told Obama not to investigate the Bush administration when he got into office. Probably just a last ditch effort at saving his ass.

[MelSC]

27. Wow...I kind of was expecting this

He's supposed to make an appearance tonight on Larry King. This is pretty damning for the Republicans, I wonder who else will endorse Obama.

[goodgd_yall]

37. I figured so too

after hearing Larry's pitch for the show---that McClellan would be making an endorsement. It wouldn't be news unless he endorsed Obama.

[crispini]

30. coolio! nt

[Connie_Corleone]

31. IT'S ALL ABOUT RACE! - Limbaugh

[Divine Discontent]

34. not shocking like a homely girl wanting attention

but good news indeed!

I hope O keeps carting out endorsements every day from big named people that can influence a few thousand votes every time one of them announces who they're for - obviously having TWO big names from B*sh's Administration who previously people wouldn't have expected going against the GOP in 08 means something. Add to that Richard Clarke and others who have previously said the GOP is dirtbags - well, we got us a possible home run coming on election day!

[ecstatic]

35. Thanks, Scotty. But I think your endorsement is about as valuable as mine LOL nt

[seabeyond]

36. only cause obama is black. mcclellan is an obvious racist. rollin eyes. n/t

[JBoy]

38. Obama's getting the former Bushies who are feeling the most guilt.

[FourScore]

39. That's because Scott McClellan is BLACK!!

[eleny]

40. Run For Your Lives! They're here! THEY'RE HERE!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Greyskye]

41. Hey Scott! Watch out for that bus you're about to be thrown under!

[The Backlash Cometh]

42. Wasn't that one of his requirements in his 12 step program?

[DCBob]

43. Super!! Republicans for Obama.

Love it!

[jackstraw45]

44. hell has frozen over

[Borgnine]

47. Hate on him all you want...

...but I can't imagine living with the guilt he must feel. Hopefully he'll try to continue to fight for the side of angels, even if it's purely out of his own shame.

[Genevieve]

48. Cool. I knew he would. nt
