The real reason McClellan wrote the book:

One of the tenets of we, the tinfoil hat group, is that the population has no idea of the REAL crimes committed, or the REAL notion for the Presidential Resignation in 1974, or the REAL reasons that the person was, well, 'eliminated'. We think we do, we've rationalized that we do...but we don't. That, I believe, was the message of the film Syriana.

Now, if you ask me, the real reason that Scotty wrote this book is that he knows, or THINKS HE KNOWS, what really happened and he's plenty scared. This would be a good time to write a moderate mea culpa, or W culpa (not so much) and try to get ready for the coming storm.

Or...he's been kidnapped by a consortium of the Left including but not limited to: Michael Kinsley, Jerry Nadler, Nancy Pelosi, Robert Kennedy, Jr., and Jane Fonda. He's been forced to write this book under painful, excruciating torture, again, including but not limited to having to listen to Larry King interview anyone, Tweety interrupting - Politicus Interruptus, and/or wolf Blitzer practice his horrible cadence.

Take your pick...

It's always the fucking money.

sell his shitty book about his years enabling War Criminals. He has to make a few headlines. Period.

He a greedy pig who knew when to fold 'em and run away.

I think you are most likely correct. Ass cover time. BIG TIME!

Will it work any better for him, than for his numerous predecesors under the BFEE, who have all ended up fired or dead?

For him, it FRIGGIT TIME....as you say....mea culpa and a twist of revenge....

This book wouldn't sell as well at any other time. It's about the moolah.

He had no problem sweating for the War Criminals. He doesn't feel guilty, he only feels greedy.

Here's a lad who might be thinking that much of his future income will be tied up in legal fees.

Score big, and run.

are hunted for the rest of their lives.

Publisher: We'd like to publish a tell-all book about your time with the Bush administration.

McC: Absolutely not! I would never betray my President! I have scruples, you know!

Publisher: We're prepared to offer you a six-figure advance.

McC: Where do I sign?

Always the money, honey.

Scotty's capitalizing on Bush's 28% approval rating. If Bush was anywhere within spitting distance of 50% this book wouldn't even have made it past the first draft.

Have you ever SEEN his Mama?

She was Mayor Carole McClellan!! Mayor of Austin when I lived there. She used to be a Democrat.

Carole. Carole. What happened, kid?

....just follow the money

he had Rethug credentials for the rest of his life...now he's a loner.

Someone would have given him a cushy job or paid him for 'opinions' or minor 'speechifying'...no, I think there's much more to this than meets the eye.

the fact that they're 'puzzled' means that they KNOW...they're always lying, right?

They KNOW why.

no excuses from this crowd are acceptable. They were complicit in all of this and mea culpas are really self-serving and flat-out ridiculous.

We'll see what happens from here...
