Remember early in the year when the rumors hit about McClellan blasting
Bushies in his new book? Scotty Mac dismissed them and said we'd all have to wait.

I wonder if he was afraid that his book wouldn't get published if the word got out early about what he was going to say? Would Bushco put a hit out on the book? Or was he was just looking for high sales volume?

2. If memory serves,

he's pretty dumb. Maybe he forgot what he'd (ghost)written.

And remember, those rumors about what he wrote came out back when Bush & Co. were still riding pretty high, poll-wise. It's a little easier to kick them now that they're down in the ditch.

Yup. Fucking coward, just as I assumed. Boy, he really put the bricks to the 2003 war plan with that 2008 book of his. Stopped it cold. Just like Colin Powell.

Fucking profiles in fucking courage. I hope they choke on whatever money they make. Criminals in prison are barred from profiting from books about their crimes. Good thing Ol' Scotty managed to...um...be white, and white-collar, and just the front-man. Fucking coward.

:puke:

4. His whole family is pretty smart.
He wasn't a good press secretary, but that doesn't mean he's dumb.

He might have been bad because he was having to repeat stupid lies.

5. Yeah, his family is pretty brght, but he doesn't seem to fit
in with that group intellectually, but I bet he's a more tolerable rethuglican compared to his brother.

Yeah, he's a coward. I think he still loves Georgie, too.

3. He probably was thinking about JH Hatfield who wrote "Fortunate Son"
and was suicided a couple of years after Bush took office. Just like Hatfield, the Bush machine will now set about completely ruining McClellan in every way possible.

BTW, I went to the Spurs game last night. Very disappointing, but you can't just keep letting the Lakers beat you with offensive rebounds!

6. You were there? I haven't been to a game in 13 years -- too far
away and too busy with kids under age 13!

Yes, and I still "hate the Lakers" ! LOL

7. I hadn't been to a Western Conference Finals game
Edited on Wed May-28-08 05:36 PM by Gman
probably since I had season tickets 20 years ago and went to the Spurs-Lakers WCF games back then. That was when the Spurs had George Gervin, Johnny Moore, Artis Gilmore, Mike Mitchell, et al and the Lakers had Jabbar, James Worthy, Magic, et al. I went to the game with this in mind and I guess I wasn't disappointed because the end result was the same as 20 years ago... the Lakers won then too. But I was hoping for a bit of revenge! That's why I still hate the Lakers too!
