Let me get this right, the Republicans are blaming Scotty for the way the war was portrayed, eh? Wow, people! They give him far more credit for what went wrong in the Bush Administration than he ever could have imagined! He was a "mouth piece", nothing more, nothing less. He was given his 'marching orders' by the Elite. He never spoke a word of his own. Don't blame the loudspeaker for what comes out! There were those in Bush's circle of power that dictated what, where and when he spoke. He was a messenger…let's tar and feather him for what he was told to say? Hmmm…however, he's speaking his own 'words' now. Beam me up, Scotty!

If your boss' reference isn't worth a cent and waiting to publish a book about his real self after he's retired won't earn you a dime, you go for the big bucks now while he's still employed and sink him for the only gain you're likely to make from knowing him. If Scott woke up one day and decided to have a conscience about Iraq, he could have sought work as a correspondent vs. doing something like this that's going to leave him set financially for life. I see shades of Michael Moore in this. Can we please turn the page on this book and let the reputable & honest have a chance at running our government.

I guess this means that Dana Perino is a liar as well. Just what I'd expect from the Bushies.

Why would Dana Perino's opinion make a rats patooties worth of difference? She is a shill in the absolute worst form. I'd expect no less from her.

The fact that the white house didn't see this coming is proof positive that it is true. Had they known, they would have crucified Mcclellan in the press BEFORE the book dropped. Of course, now all the Bush loyalists will come out of the woodworks to taint this man's name. Who in their right mind, after having been in and dealt with the Bush administration for so long, come out with this scathing info if it wasn't true? Cheney would probably have had this guy killed if he had advance knowlege of the book. Mr. McClellan doesn't appear to be so stupid as to ruin his career, life and put his family in danger of Bush retalliation if it wasn't true.

This woman is a soul-less tool who is hired to spew Bush's lies … nothing more. She even shares the same disgusting smirk as Bush. Gross.

AMEN KADUK!!!!! it's all TRUE!!!!

their smug, arrogant, greedy, soul-less house of cards is a tumblin' down, folks! pop some popcorn and sit back and enjoy the show; it's gonna be BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

DEMOCRATS UNITE TO DEFEAT MCBUSH!!!

I'll bet Bush has something better to do. If he had to respond to every former staff member who outed him, he'd never get back to Crawford!

What are all these ignorant and rude bloggers yelling at people to SHUT UP!
Really, did you not have any parents to instruct you in common courtesy.

It is the end of a Bush/Cheney 8 years hell rule and the smart people are of course, jumping off the sinking ship.

The new ship sailing in to set a new course is the H.R. Clinton.

The H.R. Clinton is a ship that knows the troubled waters and know how to navigate the trecherous onslaught of storms.

H.R. Clinton, the next durable, true and substantial President 2009-12

We have to take this 'new' information with a pinch of salt: is there any evidence that McClellan demonstarated some disatidfaction during his tenure at the Whie House? Then this book has much more credibility. Nevertheless, this book's content does not surprise me: we knw all the time that Bush, et al, was not on the up and up. I envision, among other things, his calling daddy after the invasion saying: "this is for you", since the feeling since the Gulf was we didn't do enough to get Sadam the first time–even knowing 9/11/WMD had nothing to do with it. Any good words about the VP?

Hillary has the popular vote………… on her own little island of Denial.

What a job, Ms. Perino — lackey press secretary for an administration known for its lies. It must be unsettling when a former lackey — the Scott McClellan you knew — decides he's had enough.

Where did they come up with this woman? I think they inserted a chip into her brain, click the on button, and out comes robotic programming.

Who cares what this snot-nosed little liar has to say about ANYTHING? You can see the arrogance and contempt she has for the press corps in her eyes every time she steps up to the podium to tell another lie. BEGONE, PERRINO!!!

the had to be described to bush, he is too stupid to be able to read it on his own. and i am sure that they had to use the smallest words in order for this stupid man to understand it.

The whole Bush administration should be charge with war crimes.

Mr. Bush seems to have succeeded taking politicking to the highest height and governance to an absolute bottom. This is exactly the type of Washington politicking that Mr. Obama is against. The need has never been this urgent to re-establish honesty and dignity back in the Nation's highest office.

JP

Oh, for the good old days, when bastards like the bush administration would have been tarred and feathered, then ridden out of town on a rail.

I have been a Republican all my life but I can't bring myself to say that anymore. I am ashamed of this so called President we have in the house. He was going to invade Iraq no matter what. Lies more lies also this man knew and is still a part of the conspiracy for higher oil and gas prices. He and Chaney are making a fortune. He does absolutly nothing to stem the rise. He just sits there with his finger up his butt and smiles. Screwing the American people is his claim to fame.

Obama-Webb!

Dana Pinocchio is a big liar. She has just as much integrity as Bush has. NONE.

Wow… what will you bitter losers have to gripe about when Bush is gone? You won't have anything to do after January. Awww…..

And how hilarious it will be when the Democrats squander away what should be a slam dunk of a win in November. LOL!

Go McCain!

It's funny, anytime someone says the truth about things and it's unflattering then it must be a disgruntled employee. Dana Perino CANNOT refute one thing said in the McClellan so instead she chooses to issue a statement (Who asked her anyway) saying that this is not the McClellan that they knew and supported. Read between the lines folks … everything McClellan said is the honest to god truth because not one BUSHIE has refuted any of it. They just slam McClellan.

This woman can lie just like the rest of the bush liars club.

When asked for comment on Scott McClellan's new book, President Bush replied "Needs more pictures."

Scott McClellan is MY HERO!

Finally somebody with a little bit of spine in the Bush Administration willing to tell the truth for once!

What flavor is the Kool Aid, Dana?

President Bush will not be commenting on the book because, alas, Bush cannot read.

Is anyone surprise that they would come out with the disgruntled employee story? No one is buying Bush B.S anymore!

Me thinks this book is four years too late. It doesn't really matter now as Bush is leaving office. I guess its better late than never.

I wonder if Ms Perino will remember her remarks concerning this incident when she publishes her tell-all book about her tenure in the same job.

He is still trying to find someone to read it to him!

So smug she looks in her photo. So smug are those Bush-ites. The truth will out and no one needs to be told what is what. Actions always speak louder than words and our ears have been numbed by the blast of bombs, the lies, the complete and unabashed duplicity of this administration. In my opinion, any one still defending Bush must have their hands out for a piece of his ill gotten gains. There is a God and His justice is swift. Beware!

McClellan told the truth. His guilty conscience finally caught up with him.

Dana perino - You have no soul!

I have never liked you, Perino. How is youir own book coming along? You will be very busy the next months describving the truth tellers now, trying to make up for lying so long.

WH is really deploying it's damage control teams, aren't they?

Methinks they doth protest too much.

Jose, you are the only one that got it right…defeat Barack Husein Obama…………

I send comments often, why are they not selected………..I guess you need the space for most of the trash you are letting go thru, Huh

THIS coming from a bimbo who didn't even know what the hell the Cuban Missle Crisis was.

This administration is FULL of idiots who don't know what they are talking about.

More pressing matters? Like healthcare? The economy? Immigration Reform?

…Wait, these are all things he has never attempted to address. So what the hell are these "more pressing matters"?!

Get over it Perino.

I guess this is why they say "the truth hurts".

He probably knew more about the terrible things being done by these criminals that didn't even mention for his own life safety!

Question - why hasn't the Bush administration been put through an impeachment process yet? It sounds like they all qualify for it.

Stepford wife talking….get out of the way or her crap will stick to your shoes!!

I have to agree with the White House on this. This guy is only looking to sell some books about a bunch of lies because he isn't smart enough to do anything else. And by the way, I never knew that Dana Perino was such a beautiful woman. I saw her picture, and thought WOW!!!! If she's married then her husband is a lucky man!

Wait a year, Perino will be writing a book. The Bush Administration disgust me. Vote for Obama because the same idiots and crooks will be running McCains White House.

IMPEACH BUSH!

This crazy broad should get together with Mrs. Clinton and they can compare delusions.

Hey Perino, maybe when you leave your job as Press Secretary you can get a similar job selling yourself to interested politicians by the hour, if you catch my drift.

I feel bad for Dana Perino. She has to defend a criminal administration. She has no answers either. Then again she volunteered to defend them so its her demise.

To: Hillary Has The Popular Vote!!!!!
You must get your meds from the same place she does, because you both are delusional!

Of course they are going to deny, make light of and claim he is "digruntled" which might be true, but Politics as usual, lie liel ie until you actually get caught.

What else can she say–she works for the moron.

More pressing like…………………………….what?
Waiting for the GI Bill to come to your desk so you can VETO it?

McClellan grew a conscience…too bad for the republicans.

That picture needs to be put in the dictionary next the word, "snide"

NOT THE BUSH/MCCAIN 100 YEAR WAR!

Although members of the Republican party, Pres. Bush and Sen. McCain are two very different people. The truth is that Sen. McCain opposed the president's execution of the Iraq War from the start, advocating a strategy that risked his presidential chances and has proven correct. In fact, had Sen. McCain's proposal been adopted earlier, in all likelihood the loss of life and treasure would have been greatly reduced.

Americans for McCain '08

Dana you lying sack of cute!

Ms. Perino,

You sound like a Clinton: Selective memory and embelishment of facts. i.e. all lies

Vote Obama 08: it's good for you too.

Perino, did you vote Obama? he will save you too. Remember to vote Obama. He will save all of us from Bush/Mc100yearswar/McSame/McBush.

while people have realized bush and his team have lied about just about everything the white house trys to contain it once again by blaming others . where is the apolygy to the cia operative that they exposed and i hope she wins a lot in a settlement because her husband told the truth on iraq and they tried to destroy them both. but it didn't work.

…well now how about we go back to the archives and pull all the "flattering" literature that is out there about the Bill Clinton era…..I think that would make some of this book pale!

Is your book on the shelves yet?

You are missing on your millions Ms Perino.

Hey Dana, tell us about the Cuban missle crisis again. Yeah, this chick is smart enough to work in that administration.

shut up perino,you will be lucky if you are not included in bush's war crimes trial.

I wonder if Scott's book will sway the judges opinions and lead to a reduction of his sentance when he's sitting in front of a war crimes tribunal. I appreciate his honesty, however, nothing new to anyone with an ounce of intellectual curiosity. The crimes which have been committed against our nation, the sovereign nation of Iraq and the constitution of the United States are staggaring to say the least. Scott's book only underscores these facts and provides more testimony against the guilty. Does anyone know if Scott provides any information Jeff Gannon? Jeff Gannon, the male prostitute who was planted in the White House press core to ask softball questions leading up to Iraq invasion. I've always wanted to know who was paying for his "services".

Perino, it is difficult to face the liberal media. Word is not a good place to live especially when we have media like CNn and then liberal comentators here who can say everything. How can you call our president an idiot? Perhaps idiots will call good people as idiots.

Look at the bright side, Bush gets to save money by cancelling the order for that second rocking chair.

It appears to me that this Perino is just another person who knows the truth behind all of this coruption, but hey a well paying job is a well paying job. Scott McClellan is no saint. He is just smart. He released his book at the right time to make sales. He was a part of all the lieing and cover ups too. Just because he is not doing it at the time changes nothing. He is an oppurtunist like Hillary Clinton.

ATTENTION ALL YOU BLOG READERS.
Go to the Ticker showing Bush with McCain. That picture is worth more than any comment. All you people who say you'll vote McCain instead of Obama need to take a good long look at this picture. Because that's what your gonna get. And when you're sitting at home in your living rooms, snug in your glee at helping defeat Obama, your sons and daughters will be off somewhere fighting this mans war. And when the doorbell rings, and a military chaplin is standing on your porch with a cable in his hand, you will have reaped what you have sown. Your pettiness will be the wreath you lay at the foot of your childrens graves.Shame and pity on you all!

It's irrelevent to comment on by the president, but everyone connected with him seems to have the same canned comment, we're surprised, it doesn't sound like the man I knew, he never complained. They obviously didn't know him, he liked keeping his job, and so they are surprised. Doesn't seem like enough to discredit him. They just don't like his honesty. Too bad!

Bush staffers…….They sell their souls, and for what?! For a lousy prez who couldn't spell prez without their help. God help us!!! These are the talking heads shaping the opinions of most.

HILLARY HAS THE POPULAR VOTE!!!!!!

Hillary voted for the war. Hillary is dividing her party. Hillary is ruining the chances for BHO if he is the nominee. Hillary is making a stronger case for McCain.

Thanks Hillary.

Dana, you too may come out and do the same as Scott. Not only to say against the policy your government took invading Iraq, also to make some money or get fame telling the truth.

Funny… They didn't say that he he was lying!!

Maybe Dick Cheney should take Mr. McClellan on a hunting trip with him to find out why he is so "disgruntled"???

The Article says: "The book, as reported by the press, has been described to the President…"

Can't he read? And should he be commentting on things he did not read for himself. That would explain the Iraq intelligence blunder.

Powell and McClellan, interesting how they have the same things to say about the worst administration in history.

The Article says: "The book, as reported by the press, has been described to the President…"

Can't he read?

Maybe if they can provide him with a copy that has pictures in it he may be able to read it. Or maybe Karl Rove can read it to him as he tucks him in to bed at 9:00 every night.

Where was Lou Dobbs during this time. He mouths off every night on immigration isues and at any one who dares challenge him on anything. This would have given him a medal of honor if he had done his home work correctly.

Was McClellan disgruntled when he serve under G W B in Texas? Was he disloyal when Bush was governor. Perino does not look real. She might speak up too when Bush is finally out of office.
So far this is the only president who have had 4 press secreataries resigning in a giving term of Office. This makes a person to wonder why all of these resignations.

I'm buying Scott's book.

Why?

Because I'm interested in what he has to say.

Why?

Because I also think that he is telling the truth about his experiences.

Why?

If you've really worked in the Texas Legislature during the Richard's and Bush years…then you know this guy.

Can't wait Scott and thanks!

Yes We Can And Yes We Will!
Obama 08′

nice dodge, Dana

Dana - you better speak up and tell the truth now or you too will be labeled a former disgruntled staffer when your book comes out next year. After all, that will be the only way you will be able to make a living…you won't find a job anywhere in the Dem world. Good luck sister!

I think it can be said no better than what Brian from Fort Hills SC said, and I quote him without permission but with respect ;

"Brian from Fort Mill, S.C. May 28th, 2008 11:16 am ET

Yeah, but not a single one of you has said that his statements are FALSE!"

Could not have said it better myself. I also like the comment (I cannot recall who said it and so I paraphrase it) "Puzzled? I can see why he is speaking the TRUTH now something the bush administration doesn't understand".

great comments folks!

Being "puzzled" is nothing new for the current administraion in the White House.

Lies, Lies, Lies, I quess the Libral media wasn't making them all up now were they??

I'd like to see Rove and Libby sue McClellan for telling lies in his book. If they don't sue him then guess what his book is true. Oh, I forgot Rove will just wrongfully imprison him for the next few years.

She's on the payroll. In fact, she's paid to attack his credibility, so why give this misguided career woman a moment of our attention?

This press secretary of strangely robotic. It's almost like the factory where they made Stepford Wives came out with a new product line - Stepford Press Secretaries.

I don't know who's throwing more BS, Georgie Boy or Scott pretending he didn't know anything until it was time to get paid

We can thank the likes of Rush Limbaugh and the supposed "Moral Majority' for the pack of liars now spilling their guts.You should hear the fat pig spinning more lies on his radio program right now.

It would be even more interesting to find out if Scott writes about the Energy Task Force from the very early years. How can anyone write a Tell-All book on the Bush Administration without even a pawtry mention?

AN AMERICAN FROM AROUND THE WORLD:

He has been the most unsane, sick and mentally challenged ever in the history of american presidents. there is not place for an idiot of that capacity.

CHEERS TO NEW PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Mr Barrack Obama

CONGRATRULATIONS FOR CLINCHING THE 2008 DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION

Yes, Bush "veered TERRIBLY OFF course" — Scott McClellan's own words –, and the country is NOW paying the TERRIBLE prize for it. SHAMEFUL.

Hey Perino, you still trying to figure out what the cuban missile criss was

RE: realdem. Keep hitting on the Hillary supporters you spiked Kool Aid sipping Obama supporter. You will be begging for our votes in November. Bush, McCain and Obama would all throw you under a bus in a heartbeat. You think that Obama is different because of his speechs…ha. He is a BIG phoney too! Maybe, even bigger than Bush!

Can't wait for this book.

"Described to the President" because he cannot read . . .

Perino is obviously brainwashed by the Bush administration herself. Either that or she is an incredibly good liar or is extremely incompitent. Anything coming from the Bush press is uncredible and should be treated as such.

This is simply more ammunition that both our President and Vice should have been impeached.

Unfortunately, the Democrats share some of the blame for not performing their constitutional duties, including bringing and end to this "war".

One thing is for sure Halliburton, Blackwater and all the rest are laughing all the way to the bank, and our grandchildren will be footing the bill.

Just more Perrino/Administration spin. Listening to/Reporting on what she, Bush, Cheney, et al, have to say is basically a waste of time. The only useful aspect of reporting on what they have to say and what they do is to make sure there is some modicum of restraint on them.

The truth hurts, but it sets you free. America will soon be free of Bush. Right now the truth is only hurting McCain/Bush because the rest of America knew the truth all along. America can hear Cheney screaming "So?".

Well Ms. Perino, I guess it isn't the Scott YOU know.

I’m glad McClellan chose now to release his book and raise this issue. It will refresh more than it already is how corrupt and self serving the republican bush base really is. We dems and newly awakened republicans need to stand tall and unite under whoever is nominated for the democratic party. Whether its Hillary or Obama! As long as it isn’t McCain/bush!

"We aren't puzzled, we're stupid"!

Hmmmm….after seven years, we're Finally Getting the INSIDE Story…about time. Gooooooo Obama 08

I for one will be pre-ordering that book to read it. The information in that book is what we knew all along. Bush has continoulsy lied, cheated and bogarted his way through his terms.

I'm telling you, if we (the people) don't be careful and if McCain in voted in, it will be the same thing all over again

People in the Bush administration spewed only lies whenever they opened their mouth. Scott McCallen wants to redeem himself, because he knows he will go to h*ll with Bush and Cheney if he didn't. Why do you think Tony Snow left? He wanted to be a honest man during his remaining years before his cancer gets to him. God bless both Scott and Tony!

of course the truth hurts so you will always be puzzled

I'm not a supporter of Bush by any means but I say big deal about McClellan. We all know the administration lied. If these guys had principles and moral character they would have resigned on the spot. Instead they sign multi-million dollar book deals to spill the beans later on. It's all a pile of garbage and it's time we Americans take out the trash.

“We are puzzled” … “it is sad” … and, no comment from Bush who has “more pressing matters” than this!!?? Such serious charges by a former press secretary with whom he had a close relationship and Bush has no comment?! Wow. Well then, that pretty much confirms all of it.

PUZZLED? Does the administrations gang-toitie on Richard Clark ring a bell Dana? Get real.

Wash your hands over and over again McClellan. You, Bush, Cheney, the Supreme Court and the media will never get the blood off your hands.

Hey Campaign Strategist:

You are absolutely wrong. There is so much more to the Bush legacy than the war in Iraq. $3.5 trillion in debt, an anemic economy, declining real wages and standard of living, failed energy policy, record energy prices, housing market collapse, record foreclosures, curbing civil rights, use of torture, fewer allies, more enemies, Kyoto, Enron, Worldcom, Walter Reed, Plout (sp?), and so, so, so much more.

This type of lying is so disgusting and Bush and his administration should be called what they are [TRAITORS]………

WE WILL BE WAITING FOR HER BOOK OF TRUTH TO COME OUT IN A FEW MONTHS ALSO.

omg, dana………………you and boy blunder are sooooooooooooo 20minutes ago………..

OK. Now this summer we need to have one of this nation biggest anti-war protest ever! And, call for Bush to be kicked out and face war crimes!

Go Obama! This is one to whack McSame upside his head with!!!

Yes we can and yes we will!

No doubt. The Scott that they thought they knew. Was supposed to lie and support this horrible war that Bush initiated to avenge a death threat that Saddam made against his Dad. Scott always looked strained when he was on TV. It was clear that his heart was not in to what he was saying. We have endured eight years of lies and foolishness. If McBush is elected we will endure four more years of the McSame thing.

I voted for Kerry. Wasn't a registered voter the first time. I knew Bush was dirty from the start. McCain's not the experience this country needs right now. Change it when you vote.

Obama 08

We figured out a long time ago that George Bush doesn't have a clue…about anything.

hi dana, it's me again. if you can read you should take the time to read the comments…………. "you can't fool all of the people all of the time"….. i think either bill or hillary took credit for that quip.

Her book will come out in 2009! She will be saying the same things as Scott.

Bush is a terrible president who used religion to get in the white house and then evil to stay and promote war.

Good Bye!

She's cute but dumb as a rock. Wasn't she the one that had no clue of what the Cuban missile crisis was about? I wasn't born at that time as well, I'm not the press sec and I knew. WOW!

Perrino is next…

McClellan is saying nothing that has not been said before, Clark, remember him, the terrorist specialist that said the new administration did not want to hear about bin Laden and his group prior to 9-11. Clark brought our many of the same criticisms of the Bush adminstration but was set aside as being disgruntled and not doing his job by the administration.

It has been stated for years that this President does not want to hear what he does not want to hear. That Staff meetings are a lecture by the President with bobble heads sitting around the table. Disagreement is not an option, nor is data that does not support preconceived ideas and plans.

It is amazing how anyone who has worked within this administration becomes a disgruntled former employee after the fact for telling what they saw.

Could be Bush has no comment on the book, cause he has
more pressing matters…..

the war
his lowest approval rating EVER!

pfft, I will be so glad when he is gone.

I am looking forward to reading McClellan book, though.
I real life kiss n' tell books.

HILLARY HAS THE POPULAR VOTE!!!!!!

Even your name is a bald faced lie. But, then, you are probably a Repubilcan. Your Operation Chaos will not work. You will have to live with Barack Obama in the White House, probably for the next 8 years.

Betcha that thought really bothers you…. and that alone makes me happy!

We don't need Hillary to replace Bush. We don't need another person who puts self over country. Please give us a break from all the lying from Bush and Billary. Scott apparently has had to live with the lies he told for Bush, and it's getting to him. The LIES will never get to people like Bush, Cheney, Rove, etc. We need Obama desperately for the normal people of this country, not the morons who live in Ivory Towers.

"Were puzzled" sums up this 8 year administration and almost everyone who has been a part of it!!!

Thank you for your Honesty!!! I can't wait for Bush to leave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and all the butt li….rs that are with him .

A friend and I were IM'ing each other about McClelland's book and said that basically the same thing at the same time..

That we both always thought there was something up with him…like he always having an internal conflict between what the administration wanted him to say to the media..and what he knew to be true.

That's why he left the job…his conscience finally won out and he couldn't keep lying anymore.

Obviously, Dana Perino doesn't suffer from the same disability - she, like Bush, Cheney, Rove, Ashcroft, Rumsfeld, Rice…has no conscience.

Dana you are a traitor like the rest of the inhabitants the whitehouse right now. You and Bush hate america and Scott woke up and simply got religion on the matter.

as a bunch of low lifes, it is no wonder you are puzzled. look in the mirror, now ask if you would buy a car from that woman, or her boy blunder boss.

I feel sad for Mr Mclellan. A white press secretaryhas his credility in question. This will affect his future employment for sure. I will not hire him, I know. Maybe that's why hewrote the book, for income.

If this is the case, he is an accessory to the fact. He has an obligation to the american people to object when he new the facts were all wrong.

Poor guy.

Telling the truth,now thats a novel concept in Washington.

too bad Perino doesn't have the guts to spill the beans now. she'll probably wait until it's too late to put her book out too.

We the People of the United States of American are also PUZZLED, why Bush is still the president, he should have been IMPEACHED by NOW.

As a Democrat I only hope that McCain will stay away from all involved in the Republican party.
McCain is the sure winner in Nov. since the Kennedy Democrats have won over the Clinton Democrats this time. Clinton Democrats will return strong 2012 and by then the young voters will be older and wiser and will vote for polices and issues and not American Idol style.

Still waiting for someone in the WH to actually say the book is untrue.

Everyone says things to discredit it but I am not yet seeing any reports of a senior staffer, etc saying that the main points of the book are not correct or are lies.

Likely only the beginning of the end of the Bush bubble. With his popularity in the toilet and his presidency becoming irrelevant, more people are going to be coming out with their stories.

Sure, they should have resigned sooner but it is not hard to understand that some stayed thinking they were doing the right thing or just wanted to stay where the power is. Colin Powell is a perfect example of someone who should have resigned before the 2004 election.

Hey Campaign Strategist:

You are absolutely wrong. There is so much more to the Bush legacy than the war in Iraq. $3.5 trillion in debt, a colapsing economy, declining real wages and standard of living, failed energy policy, record energy prices, housing market colapse, record foreclosures, curbing civil rights, use of torture, fewer allies, more enemies, Kyoto, Enron, Worldcom, Walter Reed, Plout (sp?), and so, so, so much more.

Your puzzled? For real, youre puzzled? Are you like the last person in the country who doesnt realize that GW is a liar? How can this puzzle you? I am honestly stunned that this WH has the balls to come out and call this guy a liar.

This administration needs to be hauled off to jail.

Puzzled?

Really?

After half a dozen other Bush appointees who've left their positions have said or written books saying practically the same things.

The only thing that they should be puzzled is why his approval ratings is in the 20s….how could there possibly be so many incredibly stupid people in this country that they still think Bush has done a good job.

Worst president in history…but he's almost gone.

Why haven't the Democratic majority acted upon the current administration's policies long before this book? Bush and Cheney should be impeached for their High Crimes and Misdemeanors while in office. The American media, for the most part, does not report civilian casualties in Iraq. Foreign media sources have estimated the total deaths of Iraqi women, children and other non-combatants to be well over a half-million lives. Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld and others would be brought before The Hague for Crimes Against Humanity and Genocide if they weren't American.

That's an odd statement. Instead of saying "Scott, we barely knew ye", how about "we categorically deny the accusations brought forth by Scott."

Oh wait, because they can't.

Looks like the floodgates are opening. Hope Bush has a helmet.

McClellan is just stating the facts.

Was there a good reason why Bush & McCain voted to go ahead and start the Iraq war? NO

Was there a good reason that why Bush & company completely blew it on Katrina? NO

Was there a good reason why we are continuing an unwarranted war in Iraq? NO

Was there a good reason to continue to spend so much money on this unwarranted war and not on the Americans who need it more? NO

McClellan is not the only one to regret. Many Americans also got duped and now wished they had never voted for the Bush/McCain policies.

Hey folks, especially for you with an IQ in the 10 area: The sole qualification for the position of "White House Press Secretary" is the ability to lie well to always make the folks in the White House look good!

They ALL do it, Democrats and Republicans; the really sad part of Scott's book is the fact that the Liberal Press here in America KNEW this and still bought EVERYTHING and resold it to US!

That's what has happened to democracy in America; sort of makes one pine for the days of Pravda…

She didn't win in g election.
Obama08

Why are we not talking about impeaching Bush?! He is a dictator, he vetos every single bill and is the worst president in American history. Isn't that exactly why we have the impeachment process???

I can't wait for Perrino's book in 2010.

I am not a Bush fan but I think Scott did this for money after all this is a smart guy that was defending this war policy.The only way I can read this book beyound the scope I have got from the press is if Scott confessed that he was dillusional while as press secretary or he was delibrately lying to the American people.

I bet John Kerry as president doesn't sound so bad now bush voters

Good to see McClellan fess up about the abominations of this liar president and his henchmen. They are truly a disgrace to this country.
Now, we are finding out about it. More will come. This administration will undoubtedly be remembered as the most dishonest and corrupt in history. A very sad situation for our country.

Scorned former staffer puts out book of supposed truths! news at 7!

I'm guessing he's been in a pinch for money since he resigned and needed to make a quick buck. Forget the ethics of putting out a book about a sitting president…

Notice that nobody is saying that what he wrote isn't true! When people don't like the message, they expend all their energy attacking the messenger. Sad really that people are duped into believing that argument.

she actually managed to look puzzled lol
mccain has his puzzled look down too-

way to coordinate, gop

Just one more talking point for historians who will be describing the numerous reasons for this president to be deemed "the worst in history". The Bush legacy of lies and betrayal is shameful. Our only hope for redemption is to reject John McCain and demonstrate to the world that we are no longer going down this disgusting road.

Yes, now attack the messenger.

You are in delusion or a mindless lemming if you ever thought we were invading Iraq for WMD. God only knows how many of Bush's and Cheney's relatives making ton of money with the war.

Mainstream media including CNN didn't have guts to stand up against the Bush administration and gave this criminal a free ride. Shame on you CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC and CBS.

You mean not being a liars. Dana Perino, Tony Show all paid liars!! But At least he now telling the truth, Yea I bet it's hard to hear the truth when all do is spin all day. Anyone with a brain saw this coming just not from a bush insider.

The "lying sack of cute" has spoken. Remember these words when her
own tell-all book comes out. Her words will be discounted by the next press secretary…Oh wait –Bush will be out of office by then! Woo Hoo!

atleast one ex-member of the bush admin has the gonads to speak the truth about the worst president in the history of this country. I still can't believe the people that fell for his crap and voted for a second term.

Perino on McClellen : We're puzzled
Puzzled by the fact the man decided to speak up, or puzzled by the fact that Americans just aren't as stupid as Bush and Cheney would like us to be ?.

Where was Hillary Clinton when Huricane Katrina crisis? What exactly did she do or what kind of help she gave and how soon was that?

Why don't Hillary leave the democratic party to form her own party?

She wants to decide for the leader of her party, instead of following rule that was strongly agreed upon.

Her actitdue is disgusting, the Clinton are eager to go back to the White House by all means.

If it is possible for the Clintons to buy their way into the White House they would have done just that.

It very clear that she can't win the nominee ,but yet she continues to push and criticize the leader of her party for not agreeing with her or not following Her own rules.

She doesn't take no for an answer, either she have it her way or no way. Now she is waiting for negative possibility to happen with Obama so she can steal it from Him. Is't that desparate to suggest that something negative might happen along the way and that will give her the nomination?

DNC please follow Hillary/Bill Clinton's rule so that we will have rest of mind.

Hillary have you found someone to do your dirty laundry?

Republicas got Busted Good for you Scott for coming clean and staying away from so called coservatives false christian republicans.

Oh my…. yet another case of:

"THE CHICKENS…
COMING HOME…
TO ROOST!"

He just admitted what the country already knows. Bush is the worst president in the history of America and his administration is not fit to be in the White House. It wouldn’t surprise me, if Bush is charged for war crimes in the future.

Maybe when Laura Bush writes her tell all about his boozing and snorting, he'll have a comment.

I am glad he has shed light on this corrupt POTUS and his cronies.

The war was a lie!

The Republicans don't care ab out Veterans.

Republicans have ruined this economy and have killed over 4,000 good men and women in a senseless war.

We attacked the wrong country….Dont vote for Mccain if you love this country!

Bush shouldn't be puzzled, he should be jailed

Come on, Scott was nothing more than the press secretary. Did he really believe that he was in on decision making and it's purposes!!??

WHAT IS DONE IN THE DARK ALWAYS COMES TO THE LIGHT. IT IS NOT HARD TO BELEIVE THAT MR. SCOTT IS TELLING THE TRUTH.
NOW THEY CAN'T UNDERSTAND HIM. WE SEE WHY THEY CAN'T. IF YOU DEAL WITH LYING ALL THE TIME, WHEN THE TRUTH COMES ALONG IT IS HARD TO SEE OR UNDERSTAND. THEY LIED ABOUT WMD'S AND SADDEN'S ACTIONS. THEY ALLOWED HIM TO BE HANGED BECAUSE OF LIES. WHY NOT THROW MR. SCOTT UNDER THE BUS ALSO. WHAT IS SO FRIGHTENING IS THAT THEY ALL DO IT WITH SMILES ON THEIR FACES.

Puzzled? Oh I get it you are confused because someone from within the bush administration is telling the truth something that you ahve rarely, if ever, seen.

well, this is an expected response from the white house. we the americans are not dumb. when Mr. Bush i am going to invade iraq because i want to strip it of its WMDs, then we send our brothers, fathers, mothers and sisters there, we find nothing but hell and death, rising oil prices, and trembling economy.

it is time for a change in the white house and i am not giving my vote to MCcain to serve a third Bush term.

Obama or Hillary for president.

When she is going to write a book !!!!!!!!!

What a surprise, a former staffer wants to distance himself as soon as Bush becomes unpopular. Nice ploy.

Why "puzzled"? Are there no known remorseful Republicans in your universe? How about "disappointed" that McClellan is telling the truth as he sees it. Perhaps the thousands of lives that have been lost weights heavenly on his heart. Perhaps he's human (what a novel idea).

You are puzzled….really….this man didn't say anything that we didn't already know or suspect ….Obama got it right, he made the most important juggement call. McBush (I'll never surrender in Iraq) and McClinton (I will obliterate the country) got it wrong! So the choice this November will be very clear. Bush should be impeached for all the lives that were lost to this reckless war. IMPEACH HIM….NOW!!

Obama '08

"he has more pressing matters than to spend time commenting on books by former staffers."

It's not like his "former staffer" wrote a children's book. It's a book from one of his insiders that makes some very serious allegations about his administration. That seems worthy of comment to me.

Sure you are! Just as we are puzzled how you can work for someone like GW!!!

THE TRUTH ALWAYS COME TO LIGHT THAT IS JUST A UNIVERSAL LAW. IN TIME, THAT SAME TRUTH WILL CATCH UP TO BUSH AND HIS DECEPTIVE ADMIN and they will have a heavy price to pay. MANY including COLIN POWELL new THAT this is an ADMIN that was built on lies and he has gone quiet and distanced his self from that TRAIN WRECK.

Remember Dana Perino didn't know what the Cuban Missile Crisis was!

Ah well, it's going to be GREAT having another four years of crooks and liars with John McCain as president!

Obama 2008

Am an upstate NY conservative who got a good laugh reading Perino's statement on this book release. I applaud her for performing her duties as White House Spokeswoman but the WH is really deluding themselves if they are surprised because this does not sound like the Scott they knew. How difficult is it for them to understand that people can reflect about something they participated in and maybe express some regrets about their involvement? They are trying to make him out to be a pariah because he isn't towing the party line. Some may not agree with what he did but that doesn't diminish his insight into what he saw was happening. To his credit, he is still rather protective of the President and is basically blaming the subordinates.

Who must have offended Mr Scott? Is he still a Republican??

Now this is REAL news…….you can't go wrong on that. This is gonna be good…

What a laugh,DISGRUNTLED?How about sick of lying Dana?

when ever a former employee anywhere says something bad against their fomrer employer, the former employee's are always tagged as "disgruntled"…why isnt the former employee ever tagged as telling the truth, we will hear from Perino when she is out of office and will say something along the same lines, she is a mouthpiece for a lying administration and the lies continue.

When one is accused of a wrongdoing and does not react STRONGLY to those accusations, then it can only mean one of two things:

1. The accusations are true and it would be difficult to refute them, or

2. The accusations are true and any strong response only fuels the media to give this matter more public attention. Bush doesn't want McClellan's books to sell.

It is interesting to note that Perino DID NOT STATE THAT THE WHITE HOUSE DENIES the statements made in the book, but they are only confused about them!!!!

I just wish the media would give as much attention to disgruntled ex-staffers of the Clintons or radical socialist friends of Obama than will be given McClellan's book.

The truth hurts.

"The book, as reported by the press, has been described to the President. " - I knew he couldn't read! And with few pictures, not very interesting anyway.

well well i dont kno what to say
other than its time for real change

but then hillary cant even win among democrats,how then does she think she can win over republicans,independents and all?
i wish her luck when she is tring to save her senate seat.
we can see that we really need obama to save us from all these people who truly represent old washington

I think this guy is just trying to cover his butt, or make money?

If anything like this happened and he did not report it, come out publicly before now and before writing a book.

He is out to make money and a name for himself.

Liar. You're not puzzled. You know you're lying right now.

I find it troubling that because McClellan decided to provide his perspecitve of the White House and its derivation of policies (which does not cast a positive light) is being called "sad" and now he is "not the Scott we knew". The more tasteful or tactful thing to do would have been to issue no response at all.

Perino is as clueless as they come….

If you look at this chick, she looks like she's been puzzled way before being W.H. spokesman.

The look on her face matches the retarded look on Bush's face (him and his wife's).

Typical governmental mouthpieces. I love the smug smile on her face. It reminds me of the simpering grin on GWB. Whether McL is looking to actually shed some real light on what that circus of an administration is like or whether he's trying to sell books, it's another notch in Duh's belt that McCain cannot afford as long as he needs the fool to help raise $

i wonder what SHE'LL say in her tell all once the duct tape is lifted from her mouth.

Yes…..He sure does…….Has he gotten all his papers in order?….
I wonder how many hours the paper shredder will run?…….Is he ready for the Congress?……Reporters?………Make way for all the legal staff….
Are all …well,whoever is left,….are they ready also with answers that they will need?….As I understand from the lawyers interviewed by the press,any action ,against anyone, even close to any person around those the Congress is enterseted in ,could be called in…..summond.
The media sure is going to be busy.

Dana is secretly working on her own "Tell-all".

You'll release your book in due time, and I expect you will be of like mind then yourself.

What other pressing matters are there? The president has done absolutely nothing but turn this country upside down!

It was obvious near the end that Scott was having a problem telling the administration's lies, so I'm not surprised by this. His Daily Show interview indicated that this was coming, but I will note that he did defend some of the administration's actions that many of us are still skeptical on.

It's also pretty obvious that Ms. Perino doesn't have the same problems, yet.

Nice try but try again.

Dana Perino doesn't even know what the Cuban Missle Crisis was (which she admitted on NPR). SPIN SPIN SPIN! This whole administration makes me want to vomit. The straight-down ticket losses for the Republican Party will be unprecedented this November — good riddance to this rubbish!

Why isn't he the Scott they knew? Because now he is finally refusing to march in lock step with the corrupt Bush regime, and telling the truth? This statement from the White house is meant to discredit him, but they haven't denied the allegations yet have they, why? They are true that's why and if they issue a statement of denial they could be prosecuted for per
