Bob Dole should realize that the media isn't ""Lliberal" and "Bush-hating", it's the American people who are. The media are just reflecting that.

Mr. McClellan You did the correct thing. Don't even listen to these Republican creeps. The world already knows everything you have told us and you had the courage to tell us anyway. Hold your head High!! I personally are proud of you.

Bob Dole is wrong to down Mr McCellan for giving his version of the truth. Bob Dole can give his version of the truth also and we, the public will judge who and what we deem more honest.

Obama 08

You know how it is…GW Bush has been hurt… called out to be a liar… of immense preportions…. Now they get Dole who is retired or dying his hair someplace… and have him hit back… God will be honored to be in your presense Mr. Dole… Now do something for the people… By the way remember when you told the public that there was no health care crisis.. that the only thing was some people were not insured… You did nothing for the public except your ego…

I agree with Dole and I'm now fan of George W. Bush or his administration. I highly doubt Scott McClellan had a recent epiphany. Quite the contrary, he served well over two years as the public face of the administration and publicly defended and reinforced its policies. If he truly felt as he says he does, he should have resigned much earlier than 2006 or not taken the position at all. So Dole is correct, he is a weasel who is looking to make a quick buck.

DOLE YOU ARE THE "miserable creature" NOT Scott McClellan's WHAT IS WRONG WITH COMING OUT CLEAN. YOU REPUBLICANS ARE USED TO LYING AND YOU CALL LYING LOYALITY . I THINK MR. Scott McClellan MADE A BIG FAVAOUR FOR COMING OUT CLEAN AND EXPOSING THE BUSH ADMISTRATION SEPECIALY THE EVIL MAN KARL ROME. MAY GOD BLESS THIS MAN.

It is absolutely obvious that McClellan is taking the money when he can get it regardless of truth or fact. Big government is coming along with our freedoms being slowly taken from each one of us. Our enemies are at the door and no one seems to notice. Do you know who are candidates really are?? We are in trouble. Take of the blinders of Hope and Change America. Our founding fathers fought for freedom. We are letting it slip away to socialism.

HEY DOLE
IF YOU HAVE NOT READ HIS BOOK AND HAVE NO INTENTION OF READING HIS BOOK, YOU ARE NOT QUAIFIED TO COMMENT ON IT!
THE MORE YOU HANGER-ONERS OPEN YOUR MOUTHS, THE MORE FOOLISH YOU ALL SOUND.
SCOTT SIMPLY DOCUMENTED HIS THOUGHTS, AND LOW AND BEHOLD, 95% OF AMERICA AGREES WITH HIM.
YOU, ARI, DAN, CARL (???KARL), DICKY, RUMMY, CANDY—-JUST KEEP ON HANGING ON TO THE BUSH MACHINE IF THAT IS YOUR NEED. MOST OF US DON'T HAVE THAT NEUROTIC NEED.

Every time Republicans get to the white house, they have a war in their agenda. This cowboy attitude has destroyed so many lives: over 4 thousand deaths, suicides, and wounded . So many families in distress. Now we have a recession and they still believe they will win again to continue their destruction.
Meanwhile we have those angry feminists pushing a suicidal agenda on the other sides. Hopefully fairness will prevail.
So this book was necessary to just confirm our doubt about this useless and evil war and this government that cost us our economy and put us in so much misery.
Now Fox is trying to divert our attention toward the democrats with a priest business so we can forget about the McClellan' book.

I lost all respect for Bob Dole when he wouldn't denounce the obvious falsehoods of the Swift Boat Veterans (only one of which actually served with Kerry), even McCain had the decency to call them out for what they were.

Bob Dole is a miserable creature, if it weren't for the the travesty of the Bush administration, I would say I'm glad he never became president, but even a scoundrel like Dole would have been prefereable to the Bush. As for McClellan, better late than never I guess, but really, is he saying anything that wasn't already blatantly obvious?

Well said!

That reminds me what Obama have been and will be: a cheating cheap politician, at best! What "CHANGE"!

There was a very short period of time after the Enron scandal that 'whistleblowers' were not considered the dregs of the earth. Now, thanks to Carville, they are called Judas'. Don't you love our open-minded American society?

I'll pay top dolar for a picture of McClellan, Keith Overnow, Chris Matthews, Jonathan Alter, Richard Wolfe, Dana Millbank, Little Danny Abrams and John Dean, in a circle jerk.

Hmmmm. What is more disgusting: betraying your boss for lying to you and then asking you to propagate falsehoods in front of the entire nation, are creating the lie in the first place and killing thousands of American soldiers and hundreds of thousands Iraqis? I can see how someone like bob dole would consider loyalty to a lier to be more substantive than loyalty to the American people. Thank G-d Clinton romped this spineless thug in 1996.

Dole was right. McLellan was a snake who bit the hands that fed him.

They make it sound like he got a millions of dollars for this book. If anything we should be thanking McClellan for finally telling the public what we all already knew but has now been confirm. People thought that those who wrote about watergate were also disloyal. So let me get this straight the government can be corrupt do whatever it wants but if we did the same thing we would get the book thrown at us. This is stupid if they did something wrong we have a right to know. And just like they like to condem everyone for their crimes they should also get the same treatment.

People seem to forget that ANYONE who spoke out against the presidents policy was considered unpatriotic. It makes sense that he was afraid to speak at the time.

How interesting that McClellan's critics don't dispute the CONTENT of the book, only that (in their estimation) he shouldn't have said it. Guess they're forgetting that folks in government are supposed to be working for us, and when "The People" have been lied to, we have every right to know about it. And as for Scotty being a little late to 'fess up, better late than never. Maybe he can donate his royalties to medical aid for Iraqi children or to PTSD care for U.S. vets. Thank you, Mr. McClellan, for coming forward with your inside perspective.

Not pertaining to this article, but rather a reminder to readers out there that there are a lot of Republicans acting as Hillary supporters and Obama haters right now, hoping to skew the nominee election.

We're each responsible for reconciling our own confusion.

DOnt 'be swayed by fear tactics. Don't be swayed by fear at all.

Many in the Republican party are running scared. Don't follow their lead.

"When we change the way we look at things, the things we look at change."

I have to comment on Ferrero's blog! I just wanted to say

AMEN SISTER!

Obama and his campaign are the reason our party is so devided. When Obama says, "Our time has come" he's talking about black americans. When he talks about "Change", he's talking about the first black president. When he's talking about "Yes We Can!" he is talking to the black Americans. He's trying to sound like MLK. He comes from a racist, anti-American church.

It's all right there under your noses people.

He sounds like a spoiled child, doesn't he?
The Bushies are reverting to name calling because the truth about the their administration has been told. Most of us suspected this truth, however. Scott McClellan has guts, and I admire him.
Dole, it's time to check in to the nursing home. You are insignificant and your opinion does not matter.

Yep attack the messanger not the message. my question to Dole is if you are so strong a supporter of integrity why are you not standing up for the INTEGRITY OF OUR COUNTRY over the intergitry of your party. you, bush and hillary all cut from the same cloth to hell with the rest we have to support our friends even if it destroyes our party or our country.

You and your loyalist league disgust me far worse than this little twerp who at least, finally, had the courage to stand up and say I cannot accept the lies I told before.

Mr. Dole, one has just to look at your face and record to find out who is a true miserable creature…. What is wrong in admitting that Bush had failed policies and misled the American people?

When Mr. McClellan was lyiing through his teeth on behalf of Bush at the News gatherings, he was a "good ole boy". Now when he tells the truth about Bush, he's a rotten SOB. If McClellan is a monster you Republicans made him one. Remember monsters always kills it creator.

Well if McClellan betrayed his party for the love of his country that's fine with me. He did the right thing.

McClellan doesn't owe Bush anything. He helped spread disinformation for the administration, destroying his credibility in the process. If anything, Bush owes McClellan an apology. If he is unhappy, he has every right to be unhappy about being used, dishonestly.

128 MILITARY SUECIDES SO FAR INTO 5 MONTHS OF THIS YEAR. YET MCCAIN VOTED DOWN INCREASES IN THE VETRANS BILL. HOW MANY MORE WILL WE STAND BY AND WATCH WHILE OUR YOUNG MEN AND WOMAN ARE TAKING THIER OWN LIVES BECAUSE OF THE TRAGIC EFFECTS OF AN UNJUST WAR?

What if his book is the truth? Who cres if he makes money on it? Who cares if he didn't blow the whistle? How many politicians and those around them do anyway. The way the Bush Administration was treating and is still treating people, no wonder he kept his mouth shut.

Since Bob Dole is furious, Mr. McClellan must be telling the truth…

Is it me or is it that all the people who are against Scott are just calling him names and not coming out to say there is no truth to wha he' s saying? Did I miss something??

I think it's hilarious that no one is not sayiing there is no truth to this book. Look, stop calling the man out and talk about whether there is or isn't any validity to what is being told.

I hear all these names being spewed at McClellan. I don't hear one name though. Liar. I wonder why that is?

Typical Bob Dole…criticizing a book he will never read and an author he sees as disloyal. Of course "loyalty " to BD is not what it is to normal people under the age of 100! Dole, don't forget was the only human being we saw (and disgustingly heard) sobbing at Richard Nixon's funeral, and that includes Nixon's entire family.
Also keep in mind how Dole gave Newt Gingrich ( that's GAVE) a million bucks to pay fines for unethical behavior and retired from the Senate a very rich man, having come there with little more than the shirt on his back.
It's either egregious hypocrisy or the hair dye has finally reached Dole's brain!

Granted, Scott McClellan should have come out earlier, but it is Bob Dole, despite his many honorable years of service to his country, that is showing a lack of courage and character. Sen. Dole is trying to be the good "party man," supporting its leadership and direction unconditionally – it is unfortunate that supporting his party and the country have become mutually exclusive. I have been Republican most of my life, but will be voting Democratic in November because the Republican party at large has degenerated into a corrupt, self-serviing, war-mongering, incompetent entity seemingly bent on running our country into the ground. Regardless on one's ideology, the U.S. as a whole is materially worse off than it was eight years ago by almost every conceivable measure (the exception being financial gain for those in the top couple percent in terms of wealth), and are on many future paths both domestically and internationally that will lead to further U.S. decline in influence and capability.

Sen. Dole would be much better off spending his energies calling the "miserable creatures" that are the current Republican leadership on the carpet for the disservice that have done this country – the one they all swore they would unswervingly serve.

Scott is now for Obama.

Great, another slow to see, poor judge of character, easy to fall for hype voter for the demagogue, Obama.

Steer clear of miserable, double-talking, hypocritical Scot's choice for president.

Go Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!

I note how, instead of focusing on whether the allegations are true or not, the Republicans simply 'shoot the messenger'. Hasn't this been the MO of this party for the past 10 years or more? Will the American public fall for the distraction? I think they will, sadly enough…

I'm kinda surprised Dole is backing Bush so much on this. McKellan's job is spinning the presidential agenda, regardless of his personal feelings. The counter response from Dole and others is purposefully simplistic – "doesn't have the guts" or "should have said something". Yeah, and we all have seen how responsive the ever flexible Bush Administration is to the ideas of others. McKellan's claims are more logs on the fire of the most inept and shameful president in history.

I am so ashamed of this administration!!. From the top (president) to the lowest ranks and everyone in between. This primary year has been conducted like a circus. The good are being attacked and the bad are being lauded. Is it any wonder the world looks at us as a bunch of idiots. Obama is the only bright spot in this whole fiasco. Bring it on and make America strong again. Can we please vote all of congress, senate, judges and media now in power.

Thank you Obama for running in this primary. You are a life and country saver.

Temper temper temper, Bob… now, do you feel better? and you haven't even read the book? sigh….
(sad, that people think they can say anything that's on their minds in an email. … we see this lack of manners in all aspects of our lives, these days. ) as for the others bad mouthing Scott who have already appeared on television, as Shakespear said, "me'thinks they doth protest too much" Republicans just can't stand being on the wrong side of an issue…. and what was that about VALUES ???? mary from sarasota, fl

They're showing reruns of Matlock on cable, Bob. Why don't you set down with a can of Ensure and some hard candy and enjoy the show.

The thing is, if McClellan did "have the guts to speak up" and in the middle of a press conference announced he was resigning because he refused to sputter the lies of the delusional president any more, all these same party-line hacks would still be trashing him and the truth he speaks. McClellan's courage may not have been punctual, but at least he has the courage to denounce this fraudulent administration which is something the morally bankrupt Greedy Old Perverts of the GOP seem unwilling to do.

Its an Honor to add a comment on this ole man Dole who I thought was outa it long ago.. But he has been selected as the hit man in the Mcclellen case…notice how he sidesteped every issue about the War… Of course he did… As a hit man you know all the tricks…Dole is a governemnt operator completely…he knows how to get down dirty… He thinks so highly of himself.. I imagaine God is going to be honored to be in the presence of Dole when he sees him soon….. What a creep Dole is … out for his ego again… Dye your hair something else dude…

So… Bob Dole has no intention of reading McClellan's "exposé" because he didn't have the guts to speak up earlier? For a man in his 80s, Dole argues with the petulance of a fifth grader.

Mr. Dole, what difference does it make? No one is arguing that McClellan isn't a gutless snake, but can't we all benefit from the knowledge he is offering? Whether you believe it or not, whether you agree with it or not, how can it possibly hurt you or anyone else by just taking a look at it? It is what it is, the inferences you make from it AFTER reading it, is your opinion. Inferences you make BEFORE reading it is nothing short of just plain ignorance.

Jesus Bob, I had to read this article twice. Just to make sure you were talking about S.M. instead of George Bush. Your peoples blind faith in this administration has lead to the current sad state of this country. Lets not question weather his statments are factual lets just attack him. this is why we need to "CHANGE" Washington.

What a joke this is turning out to be. Who's going to write the next book – Laura Bush? This president is going out with his pants down and with even less dignity that when Nixon slithered off into the sunset.

The truth of the matter is that there is simply no one outside of your average disconnected-from-reality, frothing-at-the-mouth right-wingnut (i.e. your typcial Rush Limbaugh or Weekly Standard fan) who sides with this disgrace of an administration any longer. There is no "there" there as far as even a shred of credibility goes.

Attack the messenger – that's all the neonuts have been able to do for years now. Oh yeah, and fight the good fight against donut companies that "support" terrorism. Woohoo!

-Proud to be an American.

While I can definately see Bob Dole's point of view, and agree that it would have been more honorable to speak up at the time, I think that McClellan did the right thing by speaking out. It is better to tell the truth years after lying, than to never tell it at all. That is a great part of why our nation is in so much trouble right now. Republicans believe that loyalty to fellow Republicans is more important than loyalty to the truth. That kind of loyalty our country can do without!
I do agree with Dole that McClellan should donate the proceeds of this book to something if he really did write it with the purpose of living up to his Christian principles. People shouldn't get paid for going to the confessional to clear their conscience.

So, his loyalty should be to the party and not the country or the truth or what is right? Nice values Bob!

If it took Scotty this long to see the truth about Bush and to speak out- too little, too late, and can do no good at this late date- how long before Scott can discern the truth about the liar Obama?

Scott voted for Bush… I did not…twice… so who is the better judge of presidential material?

Write in HRC if Obama steals the nomination.

. . and all the "king's" horses and all the "king's" men couldn't put Humpty together again.

SOmetimes it's good for things to fall apart. Gives us a chance to start anew in a different direction.

Obama 08

Bet he just wishes his arm worked and he could get his junk to work again.

DOLE AND McCAIN ARE OLD

I suspect Barnes & Noble will eventually have an entire section dedicated to the Bush Presidency and not one will be welcome in the GW Bush Library.

Dole's comments show through their vehemence and smallness, that in fact, he never had the qualities to lead our country. He should just go back and lead a silent life into oblivion.

All you Democrats better be ready for the race riots at your convention………bunch of old white women and Obamas church members will go at it……..ha ha ha ha Demorcrats are a JOKE!! Being retired military and have been to Iraq would pick ANY Republican over a Democrat ANYDAY OF THE WEEK. I know GI's who waited for Bill Clinton to leave the White House so his name wouldn't be on their retirement papers!!!

Bob Dole = "Old Fart."

Dole is a "miserable person" who believes that the protection of a corrupt White House's protection from letting the public know to the good of the country. How many people have died, both Iraqis and Americans because of the Bush White House putting greed over the people.

Shame on you Dole.

Looks like somebody got upset….

Bob, YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH.

A poster said:

"A black guy on FOX asked the best question about Obama: Will the American people elect a racist as President?"

You mean ANOTHER racist president?

WE THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA WANT TO KNOW THE TRUE, BUSH IS THE MISERABLE CREATOR SENDING PEOPLE TO UNNECESSARY WAR

Scott is miserable- for waiting so long to take a stand and speak out the truth.

Fact is, he was for Bush, misread Bush, fell for Bush's lies… and now he is for Obama and is misreading Obama as well and has fallen for new lies.

No to Scott's choice, Obama.

This man sees the truth of things belatedly.

I am sick to death of the self righteous Republicans. EVERYONE is lying who speaks against this Admin, ONLY Republcans who praise this admin are truthful. I am SICK, SICK, SICK of BOTH parties. Time to REVOLT fellow citizens and form a GOOD 3rd party who really LOVE this county and not a freakin PARTY.

First, all honor and respect to Dole. He is a war hero and a great American.

But now, Dole once said, during his presidential campaign, "Where is the outrage". McClellan's book shows us what really happening. Dole should direct
a large part of his anger towards the WH.

Sounds like Bob Dole took too much viagra.

Why, because he is telling the truth? I personally believe him and next to Hillary Clinton, there is no political regime more dangerous than the Bush Administration. Each person affliated with either one of the above should be tried and imprisioned for treason.

Dole.. Old.. When was telling the truth a bad thing. It is important for our leaders to start taking accountability given all the lives lost in this "Unneccsary War"

I hope McClellan did this to get it off of his concious.

That should be why don't you force your commenters to stay on topic? Also, rather than just covering this story in a mindless he said, she said fashion maybe you could do a story looking into McClellan's claims, as well as his opponent's claim that's he's a greedy pig?

You know…be journalists?

LETS GIVE DOE A ONE ARM CLAP FOR HIS ENSIGHT ON WHAT HE KNOWS ABOUT A PERSONS MOTIVES.

Who cares about Bob Dole? Isn't he in an old peoples home.

This is what the problem is with our goverment, People are showing more loyalty to a person or president rather then our country, we need to get out of this mind set country first loyalty to a corupt president never.

BARACK / SEBELIUS 08

BARACK THE VOTE!!!!!!!!

It appears that Bob Dole has overdosed on Viagra which he did commercials for (free of course)…….talk about cashing in………gimme a break!

Whatever the reason Mr. Dole, Mclellan said the truth

I think John Dean said last night, the louuder they gripe, the closer to the mark Scott really is. Scott is in for one bad ride, but at least his conscience is clear. Bob Dole, take it easy, your going to have a stroke.

Dole..judging by the way you look, McClellan's is humbled by the words creature because I don't know what kinda of being you are or what the name is for your species.

It is not nice to call people names. What makes you so uncomfortable with someone telling the truth?

Scott McClellan is a liar, money, money, money. Bob Dole is a great man! I can't believe that Hillary and Bill got beat by a black guy…LOL the feminists are going to have to go barefoot and back in the kitchen!

McCain 08′

If this craziness does not stop soon .. this is the beginning of the end of the great US of A.

Dear Old People,

Please shut up now and go watch some "Murder, She Wrote" reruns or something.

Sincerely,
~the Young People whose future you've wasted

Funny how Dole criticizes McClellan as if he is violating the GOP's (undoubtedly) high standards of integrity and honesty.

Yes, the party of Abramoff, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and now McCain has no room for the likes of Scott McClellan.

Well, Well, Well, Bob, I didn't know that the truth would make you so upset. You knew what was happening and you didn't speak up, so what the problem. You are on the attack because Scott had a sudden attack of conscious. I know its rare among rare among you PUBLICANC, but it dose happen.
It really bother you people that someone exposed that ling, drunkard, dope head little coward and his band of CRIMINALS.
FLASH: 71% of the American public already knew this, so relax and come to the realization that America knows all about you and your dirty little party.

Why McClellan did not stood up then and not resigned are irrelevant. Why we were misguided into a war is the issue. I wish Dole was honest enough to comment about it instead of calling him a "creature".

KUDOS to Bob Dole! I think his email sums up McClellan very nicely!

Shasta,

Come on give me a break. This is the good ole' USA…I will screw you before you screw me. Look what happened to Valeri when her husband spoke out against Cheney and Bush with their LIES. Money makes the world go around…

May 30th, 2008 12:31 pm ET

In Dole's defense…I can't stand looking at the little bug. He is so pasty.

I have no issues with McClellan exposing the administration if it is the truth, but the fact that he is looking to make money off of it makes me suspicious if it is the whole truth. If he has such a conscience, he is scum for waiting until it was all over before blowing the whistle on it.

apparently this mcclellan is a democrat in his nasty heart of hearts.

Get off it, Dole. Why in heck didn't YOU and yours speak up, when you had so many chances AND the cover of the Senate.

We should all be grateful for these whistle-blowers. There is nothing to be ashamed of here, except maybe that he should have been more aware of the outrageous, unacceptable level of games-playing by Rove, Cheney, Libby….I could clearly understand why it all seemed too unbelievable at the time, to even consider that our highest office in the land could be in any way corrupt, run by a gang of thugs.

Thank you, Mr. McClelland, from a sane America.

How ironic! I have thinking the same thing about Bush for almost 8 years!

You know, maybe if this was the first book to come out from a former Bush-insider to blast the Bush administration, maybe I'd have some doubts about its credibility…

Since its the… 6th, 7th to come out singing the same song, Dole can take his criticisms and shove them up his ancient, arthritic arse!

"I'm Bob Dole, and Bob Dole would never read such a thing" Another shoot the messenger criticising the Commander in Chief. McClellan's motives may be a little suspect, but he has the right to do it. I think Americans really need to look at how Republicans are becoming more fascist like if anyone dares criticizes the government.

looks like the bush destroy your enemies machine got to Bob Dole. To quick to trash a book he never plans on reading
Makes me wonder how many bills he acctualy read before voting on them

Scott only spoke out too late and when there was money to be made and no political risk.

This man misread Bush and he now supports Obama.

What does that tell you?

Bob dole what hole did you crawl out of, back from the dead i see the pot calling the kettle black how hyprocritical. Every one knows the bush admininstration did not have just cause to invade iraq. Mcclellan was wrong for not exposing what he knew sooner, every of one them should be brought up on war crime ,and serve year upon years in prison.

LOLOLOL Don't these GOP Cretins know that the more they Whine the more we all KNOW it is all TRUE???

Just like Micheal Moores Movie Farenheit 911 they cried and cried all day
BUT They NEVER said it was lies and you didn't see ONE lawsuit for Liable or Slander. NONE of these crybabies is calling him a LIAR LOL Just CRYING!!!

It is ALL true and they all can twist in the wind and reap what they sowed.

FINALLY!!! I am SOOOOO Loving this!!!

How is it that Obama talks about hope and change and draws such vehement hatred from people? Why do you hate this guy so much? What's at the root of your dislike? What exactly has he done to deserve this negative backlash when he's been so positive? Is it that he's beaten your candidate? Or are you mad that Hillary beat herself? Is it that a black man had the audacity to win? Why are you stuck on the petty issues of race and sex? What's sad is that the negativity and division actually reflects the negativity and division of much of the country. Obama '08!

Dear CNN

The first comment on this thread is about McCain and Veteran's ire towards McCain's vote on the GI Bill. This article is about Scott McClellan and Bob Dole. Why can't you force your moderators to stay on topic. It's not like there aren't six thousand stories about McCain, Veterans, the Iraq War, Barack Obama and Congress on the politics page alone.

Also can the people who comment in all-caps be banned? It's f—— annoying.

omg these blogs…
i have to laugh and fall off my ch air..

i mean they are some of them mean but true.. like
"what rock did he crawl out under?"
and for the lcrazy ferraro…

"turkey necks.." "did she forget her medicine,"

I mean that is true, they : clintons, mcbushes, ferraro, and dole, and a few others.. are they so afraid they are 100 year old or what,

I respect my elders, but these bunch, makes us in the 40s, look like babys.. they act worse than a person with dementia, speech, bipolar and multiple disorders, but worse is their hate and their unwillingness to accept age has caught with them, and accept it gratefully, (all odl politicians, caught in the dark ages.)
they are so angry the rest of the us are choosing for others who can see beyond their mistakes…

and their age…

McClellan is a miserable creature! How could he betray all of us and the administration like this?!? What a coward to come out now with all these things, just to make a buck. He is a disgrace to our party and to our country!

McCain-Ferraro '08

Cripes!!! Might as well ask Bob Hope!

GRUMPY OLD MAN !!!!

After reading some of these comments, I'm pretty convinced that HRC supporters are not Democrats, but Republicans. Why else would they use the Scott McClellan story as an opportunity to beat up on Obama – who has absolutely nothing to do with this? Write-in all you want, but know that you'll be responsible for dealing with another four years of Republican lies and probably a war in Iran. It's just irresponsible.

At least he realized his mistakes and had the gut to let the public know the truth behind the Bush Administration's atrocities throughout the world.

I'm not sure whether he could change anything by resigning the post which he eventually did. He certainly was not a policy make rather a policy seller.

Scott McClellan…The new John Dean!

Truth for money.

Scott was for Bush and now is for Obama.

Many he wants material for another money-making book in 5 years.

What in the world is wrong with Geraldine Ferraro. There is no such person as a Reagan democrat. If you voted for Ronald Reagan and you were a democrat that only makes you a confused republican. Sorry to get off track.

McClellan (gutless wet noodle) or Olberman (Smarmy annoying prig) for Obama's press secretary?? Won't matter, Hillary and OB are playing for 2nd & 3rd place.

Yes….he is cashing in…..and he is prob. a snake…..but he's also stating things that I want to see come out. C'mon….We ALL know this administration is as crooked as the Mafia. We just never come out and say such a thing. CONGRATS DEMS for OBAMA and for the slapping the Bush administration are recieving….it's far far far due….and more will come. Don't make it easy for them to leave…make them all feel very uncorftable and don't alow them to return to normal live again for how they have run this country.

And… the hypocritical Scott is now for Obama.
Nuff said.

Dole needs to keep his mouth shut!

McClellan was never in a position to "speak out" while he was with Bush.

Bush is a JOKE and Scott has the balls to call him out on it.

Grow up you GOP slugs.

I find it sad that most of the people posting on her care more about "their" party more than they care about what happens to America, what's wrong with you people?

Notice that none of the people that are criticizing him never say that he is lying. They are trotting out all the same talking points that they do ANYTIME someone that was in the know, write a book telling us the truth.

Dole is still alive?

Bob, not only is Scotty a miserable creature, speaking out belatedly just for money, but he now supports Obama.

Scotty was for Bush and now he is for Obama.

Scott is SO good at picking presidential material.

Write in Hill for a Nov win.

Geriatric Old Party=GOP

Dole for Pineapple '08!!!!

I'm sooooooo glad I'm Canadian. We elect our politicians in a couple of months. You guys run with all this dribble for nearly two years and get stuck with a moron like Bush. You must be getting tired of it all.
And meanwhile good men and women are dying overseas for not good reason.
We're hoping for change south of the border.
Got to go…the fish are biting

There isn't a "write in" option anymore idiot.

1 minute to midnight cinderella.The liberal media cant save you now Obama.hell even the moderates in the dem party a.k.a clinton supporters will go repuiblican.Iknow all you obama supporters will be so upset when he goes down hard but when your all growd up youll thank us republicans and moderate dems.

I have to quibble with Dole and other members of the Republican part on this one. McClellan's publisher is notorious for giving unusually low advances. There's a story in Salon.com by an author on the same publisher, and they confirmed this. Essentially, McClellan's advance was below 100,000. That's not enough to legitimize the claim that this is powered by greed.

I also have to ask McClellan why he didn't quit in protest. Ford's Press Secretary did so after the Nixon pardon.

Thank goodness Dole never became president! He's always been a partisan, low-blow hatchet-man and his temper is almost as scary as McCain's!

Reality is that McCellan was writing this book for quite a while. Are people, including Bob Dole, really so delusional to think that he just wrote this publication. It has been delayed several times.

Why is it so difficult to believe that Scott was caught up in the process and when finally disillusioned, did resign. Which he did.

Obviously the White House – The President, Vice-President and all the staff are squeaky clean. All made of the same teflon that Monica's ex-boyfriend is made of. These are the people who lied about Iraq, who have been accused as the most secretive administration since Nixon and you are throwing mud at the messenger? Lisa (12:38), you are so spot on!!!

Bob Dole – VP for 2008 McCain?

Okay, if anyone said that Scott is a greedy little Republican, please raise your hands…. Oh my bad, Bob, I forgot you can't…..

Moderators, I am confused.

You are allowing comments to be posted to this story which have nothing to do with the content of the story but instead bash Obama and praise Hillary.

Meanwhile, I provided a good, and relevant, response to your Geraldine Ferraro story but you chose not to approve it.

I think we have a Clintonista under deep cover at CNN.com.

Shut up, Dole. You're bashing the messenger because you know you can't bash the message.

You and the whole Republican Machine are corrupt, and you know it. You're just ticked off that more evidence of this is now in the open. You're not fooling anyone.

I like the comment that the American people paid McClellan's salary, not Bush. Wish more Republicans would remember that. But McClellan was a wimp not to take a stand back when he was spewing what was even then, such obvious lies. If more prominent people had stood up, and if more average Americans had stood up– we wouldn't be in the mess we are now.

Oh get over it Bob Dole, you are just hacked off because your buddy Bush got his butt handed to him over the Iraq war. Most if not all Americans knew Bush was lying about the war to begin with, the silly, sorry you know what should be impeached. They will impeach a sitting President for lying about sex but not for lying about the reasons to go to war. This should show everyone what Clinton or Obama is in for should one of them get elected, sad isn’t it.

It's sad… What choice do we have now? Confirmative action president or one more republican (big corps) term? No more decent people left in America?

The miserable, double-talking, belatedly truth telling Scott should have stood up and said something when it mattered.

Truth is, Scotty chose Bush, and now he is choosing Obama.

He is obviously a poor judge of presidential material- or… he want to write another tell-all book in 5 years.

I don't trust this McClellan guy and yes he should have stood up when things were tough BEFORE thousands of people died in Iraq. HOWEVER, what he said has been shown through reality and many other sources to be at the very least partially true so lets focus on the truth here!

What do you expect republicans and Bush to say…Scott is right? Of course they're going to plead innocence even though every sane person can see the result of the many many WMDs that we found in Iraq. Yes…do you remember those WMDs we went to war and your son, daughter, uncle, auntie, cousin died for???

As I stated on another post, if McClellan is lying, such a miserable little creature, why don't Bush and his cronies file a lawsuit. I'm sure Mr. McClellan has documented proof, or else he would not have put himself out on a limb like that.

Dole is the one who is a miserable creature. How dare he call someone out of their name. Just because he was bold enough to come out with the truth. A lot more will be uncover in the White House.

Bob Dole take another Fall down the stairs and take Ferraro with you. Both of you Guys are washed up!!!!!! and I do mean Guys

Dole sounds like a bitter old man. Don't they have a sweet surgar pill for that?

What universe is Bob Dole in.

This is the man who said he didn't didn't know if nicotine in cigarettes was addictive.

It is incredible that Bob Dole should be talking about someones lack of credibility.

One a hatchet man always a hatchet man!

Hey Dole McClellan no longer wants to be on the "Darkside". He like many of us have seen the light. And its only the beginning. ; )
God Bless America!!

Barack Hussein is accumulating Judas's at a record pace—–why does Barack Hussein not think people like McClellan and Richardson will not stab him in the back at some point—-after all if you saw someone with a resume that said "accomplished back stabber", would you hire them?

Right on point! Leave it to Bob Dole to set the matter straight . McClellan is a gutless opportunist. And the liberal left media will continue to rock on. Can't wait to see the coward working in Obama's camp.

DOLE YOU ARE A FOOL BIRD OF THE SAME FEATHER THATS WHAT I EXPECT YOU TO SAY

Bob Dole is butthurt. This is the most childish rant I've heard in years… no wonder he didn't even come close in '96.

Since when did we start caring what Bob Dole thought again???

Republicans are a disastrous cancer on our country… malignant in the speech and policies. Thank God McClellan spoke out against this wicked administration and told the truth about the utter manipulation of Americans and the peoples of the world. This administration has cost us so many thousands of lives… so many thousands of innocent lives.

And, one life is enough to have great cause for looking down upon ANYONE, including the President. This admnistration represents death. As kthe families of dead soldiers!

In 1945, in combat in Italy, U.S. Army Captain Bob Dole had the courage to take a stand, and he suffered permanent disability as a result. In 2008, in an e-mail to Scott McClellan, retiree Bob Dole showed that same courage to take a stand.

We should have more politicians — more citizens — like Bob Dole.

Bob Dole can rant and rave, but why didn't Colin Powell walk out on the administration after he was taken advantage of during his UN address leading up to the Iraq war?

Dole is just much as an IDIOT as Bush and McCain are. I'm just upset that McClellan waited to speak about this administration intil his book went on sale. I watched McClellan many times giving a press story, and I knew then that he was covering up for the Bush administration. I can smell a LIE a mile away. I hope that congress will read his book and go after the GUILTY parties who deceived American with LIES. Time to really enforce congressional subpoenas against Karl Rove, Libby. Harriet Miers, Cheney, Bush and Tenet. McCain is such a flip flopper that he makes John Kerry look like the pope. Why doesn't CNN play back the interview tapes that they have on McCain from two years ago which now he is denying these stories? This comment will probably not get posted. Tell me CNN why???????

It sounds like Scott has some truth to what he wrote in his book. Bob Dole's reaction just confirms it.

I LOVE YOU SCOTT………. YOU ROCK!!!!

Hi Jack,Bob Dole should sit down somewhere, & Scot should have spilled the beans sooner, maybe some of Our Troops would be alive, and just maybe some of Our Troops would still have their brains, arms, legs, family, etc. How do you republicans live with yourself? Bush/Cheney Impeach NOW!

Bush profited off of his presidency, it only makes since that his minions would as well.

This is exactly why I will never vote Republican. If you aren't a "tool" for the party, then they rip you apart.

I wish more people were like Mr. McClellan, maybe we wouldn't be in the mess we are in. The "Bushies" first loyalty should have been to the American people, not the Bush admin.

I just can't see how McCain and the Republicans can win the white house in 08. In my opinion, they don't deserve it after what they did over the past seven years.

if mclellan is a "miserable creature" for WRITING about this stuff, what does that make the people who were actually DOING it?!?!?!?!?!??!?!

oh yeah, REPUBLICANS!!!!!

john mccain is a republican. a vote for mccaine is a vote AGAINST our troops and this great country!!!

dems unite to take back america!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr Scott McClellan is a true American HERO, say more Scott, we the people want to know what kind of country we have

Mr McDlellan served at the pleasure of the president. He had no choice what to say when talking to the press. Now he serves himself, Maybe some of the people still serving at the pleasure of the president are just upset that he wrote the book they all wanted to start next January.

Like your comments during recounts in Fl. 2000

Bob//// time to go rest with Bushy and Jonny. Warmongers and as Ventura calls Bush chicken hawks who know how to send guys to die with no reason
Sad coming from you guys

Blinded American People you need to be delivered.

The question you should ask yourselves is

Are the facts stated in Scott's book accurate? Nobody seems to pay attention to that.

Truth is always truth. Whether told earlier or later.

Wake up American people.

When Bob Dole, one of the nicest and most respected leaders in our country chews you out you know you are a real jerk.

When has Bob Dole mattered in the past 10 years?

Yknow, I'm not a big republican, and I absolutely loathe George Bush, and have loathed him from Day One.

But Dole is right. If this guy felt so strongly about it, he should have just gone to the press straight away and told the truth – before this war got even more out of hand. Now, had McClennan pulled a "Stephen Colbert", and just started napalming the administration right from the Press Corps Podium, live on CNN….

THEN that'd be pretty spectacular.

Please post my anti-Obama, pro-Hillary opinion

Scott was for Bush- now he is for Obama.

Can you trust his ability to discern a candidate's TRUE nature?

Hillary needs to take it to the convention. She has more delegates than all the white male candidates of the past- like Ted Kennedy- who took it to the convention.

This is her RIGHT, under the rules of the democratic party.

Why are we pushing the woman out early, so that we can hand the nomination to the black man? We allowed all the previous white male competitors their right to campaign. Why is the party and the media bashing Clinton? Afraid that Obama can't cut it in NOV so knock Hillary out to give him an edge?

Won't work- just alienating the HRC supporters- the 17-20 million of them.

'Biting The Hand That Fed Me,'"!!!!???? you mean Americans Mr Dole, right? that said, I agrre with Dole about one fact , if he wasn't happy with Bush's policies he should have said something ages ago…NOW IT'S TOO LATE… so to me McCllelan is nothing more than SHIP-JUMPER.

OBAMA or HILLARY 2008 and no one else

Republicans are MAD because Scott did the right thing. I love you Scott and you are so fine.

So Dole says McClellan is an ingrate?? Dole, if you believe McClellan is lying, call him a LIAR and tell us why you belive he is.

By calling him an ingrate, Dole is makes it clear he thinks a cabinet member's loyalty to his president should supercede loyalty to the nation! Talk about screwed-up ethics, how dare he call someone else a slime. Dole, I am so glad you are otta there!!

Bob Dole. What a hoot. This is the man who said in 1996 that the movie "Trainspotting" glorified drug use, but he didn't see the movie. Isn't it time you retired, Bob?

like anything you say is relevant Dole….I say kudos to Scott for bringing more credibility to the truth

*Birds of a feather flock together*

Anyone who is thinking of voting for McSame reread the first post on this post by a real honorable vet!!!!

I believe this guy is telling the truth and that is why such hateful comments are coming from the White House Administration. And instead of the media trying to case doubt they need to do their jobs. What makes the President exempt from scrutiny. Wrong is Wrong and Bush is all wrong and anyone voting for McCain in November is ALL WRONG!!!

I think Bob is exhibiting all the symptoms of one of the rare, but tragic, side effects of Viagra: elevated hyperbole

Um, He's a Republican, what do they expect? They eat their young for christs sake!!!

Good riddance Scott!

I think he was a wolf in sheep's clothing. I worked with someone like that – someone who would smile in your face right before they stabbed you in the back. I wouldn't be surprised if all the information in the book is either lies or embellishments of the truth. He sure is cozying up to liberals real quick!

Good luck Scott, I hope you make tons of money on your book since that's obviously more important to you than the truth.

Dole sounds like the miserable creature to me.

Has Dole re-joined the 8th grade or something?

He hasn't even read the book and has probably never met McClellan – why does his opinion even mean anything?

I also noticed that he attacks the man, but not the message. None of McClellan's critics have been able to point to anything in the book and refute it with facts of their own. Even when specifically pressed to do so. That hardly gives their words any weight.

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. These are the people who Bob Dole supports?

I wonder how much is truth in the book and how much is exageration. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. McClellan might have his 2 min. of fame now but pay the price after.

McClellan is a true American!!! Seems he cares enough to tell the truth! I want someone in Washington that will be open and tell the truth and is not tied to Washington lobbiests or insiders. Go Obama!!! Seems like some of the really honest republicans are coming over to Obama's camp–amazing–honesty in Washington and someone who might really care about the USA!!

That viagra must really be working today.

This is just another example of this adminastrtion being the modern day nazis that they are. Anyone who speaks out againts them is held up in public to be a traitor. The real tratior to this country sits in the white house every day. Him and his cronnies have sat there and raped this country of its soul, and its future, while they laugh thier way to the bank. Someone please tell the truth about Bush, and the band of liars he has working for him. Just look at all the pay-off jobs anyone who has left him , and keep thier mouth shut get. It is so clear how he works. This man should be given prais for his honesty. It may be to little to late, but he is trying. Thank God its only six more months.

I've said it before and here it is again: Republicans are a perverted cult!

McClellan is in deep doo doo——he's going to see all kinds of problems—-both legal and personal including some unlikely accidents—-I guess his daddy never told him not to mess with Uncle Sam.

What Bob Dole is really saying to Scott McClellan is – you broke the 11th commandment, Scott. "Thou shalt not speak unkindly about a fellow Republican" – even when that fellow Republican wrongfully takes his country to war!

Wow, that is the most life Dole has shown in years. It is easy to say McClellan should have spoken up earlier while he was at the White House, but don't you think he would have been squashed in discredited back then?
The furor over this book seems to correlate with the level of truth of its contents.

This thread leaves no doubt that we put more money into the penal system in this country than our schools. Is it too much to ask that the morons who leave their irrelevant little comments on this site use proper grammer?

Yeah, I'm going to have to agree with Dole on this one.

Bob Dole the paragon of integrity sold out his dignity to promote Viagra. The hypocrisy of the right and humans in general never ceases to amaze me.

Mr. Dole,

Are you now the champion of integrity and clean politics?
Don't you know deep down that as a Christian calling any human "miserable creatures” is calling God miserable creator? As you judge so you will be judged. Isn't it written in the gospel?

Would Dole be happier if McClellan continued to shill for radical right-wing America-haters that have run the country for the past 8 years?

Better late than never to tell the truth, which we all know to BE the truth. The long list of former loyal Bushies turned deserters is getting even longer…hard to believe.

Okay, McClellean is a miserable creature and disgruntled, but none of that detracts one iotum from the truth of his too long suppressed critiques of the Bushies. There is a loyalty higher than to this bungling, lying administration, and Scott has finally demonstrated this higher loyalty, namely, to the American citizens. Better late than never, I say.

Scott McClellan to Bob Dole : YOU TOO! Thank you.

Good for Bob Dole.

Times are changing Bob Dole……..and believe me McClellan is not first nor is he the last. When money speaks, the truth remains silent.

Dole is soo soo RIGHT!

LYN-NJ

He knew what he will face. But he decided to obey his heart and his ethics…
He is a brave man and I respect his courage
Truth sometimes hurt and anger those who did not get used to it
Sorry Bob

If you look up "miserable creature" in the dictionary, the first definition says "See Bob Dole". The second definition says "See Elizabeth Dole."

takes one to know one!!!!

you repugs were busted, and now you're all whining and attacking the messenger—just what a 5 year old would do!!!!

in your typical repug fashion, you ATTACK the messenger cuz you know you cant fight against his words—CUZ THEY'RE TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SORE LOSERS!!!!!! your chickens have finally come home to roost!!!!!

THE TRUTH HURTS, AND YOU REPUGS ARE IN SEVERE PAIN!!!!!!!

He can go to hell………the truth will surely come out.

I would ask the Republicans to name ONE THING that is not true in his book. It is more of the common tactic of smearing the messenger and diverting the attention from the truth that is at play here. I can only hope Americans have learned a lesson and can see through the chaff.

Typical comments from a Repubby. Anyone who does not agree with them they call "miserable creatures"

Who gives a flying swordfish what Bob Dole thinks about anything?
Whatever one thinks about McClellan and his timing, most of what
he is saying is perfectly true.
All the little Bush-yes-men are coming out of the woodwork to condemn the little guy.
They will all go down in flames in November.

Wow, Dole sure gave it to McClellan. Guess the Viagra is working its magic.

God Bless Scott McClennan for telling it like it is.

DOLE
FACE THE TRUTH. SCOTT IS ABOUT THE TRUTH. YOU ARE ABOUT A DISGRACEFUL POLITICAL PARTY THAT FEELS "MY PARTY RIGHT ARE WRONG"—–
YOU ARE ALL OUTDATED.
SCOTT WAS TALKING ABOUT HIS OBSERVATIONS AND FEELINGS.
HAVE YOU LOST THE CAPACITY TO FIGURE THAT OUT???

This can't be the same Bob Dole who shilled for Viarga–or if it is he must not have done it for the money, it must have been for the lift it gave him.

Heaven forbid any Republican should speak out against Bush's "MISEREABLE" administration. The true crime in Mclellan speaking out is that he, like so many other "leaders" within the Republican party did not do so sooner or when it truly was necessary to do so (before there were over 4000 of our finest killed in action).

Rob not all Obama supporters are kids, but thanks for the spin. Bob Dole has been out of touch for years. He also knew what was going on in Washington and never said a thing to stop it.

"Bob Dole dont like McClellan. Bob Dole not like expose'"

"Bob Dole take nap now."

- Bob Dole

Bob Dole???

that was funny.

Maybe Bob Dole should give the same advise to his wife Libby? Who convieniently moved into her mother's house in North Carolina, just to have enough months of residency to run for Senate in that State. Bob Dole is about as exciting as listening to somebody's beard grow! Viva viagra!

Clearly Bob Dole has lost his mind…they always say it's the second thing to go. And we all know about his advertisements years ago proclaiming that the other "thing to go" has been gone for some time.

Just want to say to the people, like Scott, who support Obama: Obama is just the same as cocky, arrogant, lying Bush.

Also, Obama will not reach the required minimum number of pledged delegates. These are the RULES. So he has NOT won, and certainly has not won big.

White Male candidates took it to the convention while much further behind in delegates than Hillary Clinton.

She needs to take this to the convention- as is her right. Or do the rules change when it is a female candidate and we owe the nomination to the black man?

maybe scott should have said something sooner but he also knows what happens to the peope who speakout againest this president. what does dole know that no one else does? he should just shut his trap and stay out of politics. he wasn't much of one to start with.
the truth won't really come out until this tribe of misfits is out of the whitehouse. will make some interesting reading if someone really digs in to what really went on behind the doors of secertcy.

My, oh my, how the truth hurts these Republicans. And I'm not speaking of Scott McClellan.

The fact of the Republicans coming out about the book is irrelevent. We all know this administration is terrible.

The "liberal anti-Bush press"?!?!?!

Anyone who is not Anti-Bush at this point is heavily deluded and biased. A true conservative press would be highly critical of Bush. A liberal press would be highly critical of Bush. Any AMERICAN press who cares about the nation at all would be critical of Bush. This administration has failed in basically every single aspect of its duties to the nation. The only press which would not be anti-Bush is a compliant, untruthful press.

That being said, if coming out with honesty at this point makes McClellan a "miserable creature", then I hope we have a lot of "miserable creatures" around. McClellan at this point is 10 times the man you could ever hope to be, Dole…

I wonder if we will ever see an intelligent, thoughtful post by an Obamite? One thing for sure, if Obama becomes president, Cuba will look like a capitalistic paradice!

Bob z z z z z z z z z z z snooze news

Ha – Two thoughts came immediately to mind with that admonishing by Dole….

1) I feel like a high school teacher, reading a confiscated break-up note from one teen to another.

2) "Dole speaks and the world listens" – Well, that's the title of a book that could never be written…If it ever was, they'd have to file it in the fiction section. I read Dole's comments as I'm sure many did, and thought, "So what – it's Bob Dole!"

Bob Dole – the best thing about you is Norm MacDonald's impersonation of you….Or I should say that WAS the best thing about you – Now you're a caricature of yourself.

DANG….LOOKS LIKE HE TOOK THIS RATHER PERSONALLY. HE MUST BE SCARED THAT SOME DIRT IS OUT THERE ON HIM. LOL

By George, that Viagra sure can produce stiff criticism!

is he still relevant?

Sounds like a true Republican. Forget the truth, just be loyal!

More proof that the TRUTH hurts.

He has a point about McClellan not speaking up…but does that make the allegations untrue.

I completely disagree with Dole's sentiment about "the liberal anti-Bush press". Sounds like the Clinton's great right-wing conspiracy theory. First, the press puts out what draws viewers, and therefore, its slant is a reflection of our society. Second, this "liberal" press is owned by GE, Disney, and Westinghouse, etc. and everyone know what liberal wackos those three huge corporations are owned and run by – give us a break! Finally, the Bush Administration's problems are not due to some fictional media conspiracy, but rather they are victims of their own ideology over common-sense mindset, greed, lust for power, corruption, and general incompetence.

As far as McClellan getting a job in the Obama Administration – very doubtful. After the Revolutionary War, Benedict Arnold moved to England but was pretty much ostracized there. Nobody likes or trusts a turncoat.

the only reason that the White House cronies are upset is because they have been upstaged on their own planned books revealing the truth.

Why is it that a administration that won two elections on the grounds of christian and moral values, spit fire when one of there on gets a case of morality and tells all the lies that took place. It lets people know that everything once said was always true.

This is not news. Why does the media report opinions?

It's a world gone mad.

Finally, Republicans are justifiably angry about something another Republican has done (and I'm not referring to Larry Craig or what he did). Had it only not been six years ago, when Republicans in the House and Senate might have been justifiably angry about all the lies that the Bushies were telling them and the American people.

And, at the same, time moronic Obama fanatics (Obamacrats, I guess we'd have to call them) are unthinkingly happy with a (former) Bush spokesperson and something he has said publicly. Don't you loony so-called Democrats even know that Scott McClellan was the very face of the Bush White House during all the horrible things it did for so many years? He was, at best, an enabler and, at worst, a coward who knew what he was doing was wrong, but kept on doing it for years anyway. He's not upset for telling and selling the American people lie after lie. He's only upset because the Bushies lied to HIM.

Hillary Clinton, please lead the true Democrats to something better.

HILLARY CLINTON '08

What Geraldine Ferraro says is very true. I am deeply offended by the comments blured out by Obama's Faith consultant Pfleger. Not even he was pretching hate, insulting Hillary, he offended women by portraying them as weak and emotional. Obama and his operatives think that by saying sorry, everything will be OK. Well it will not.

Millions of women feel betrayed and cheated. That is why they support Hillary because she chapmions their struggle in every day life, working twice as hard, being humilitaed and not taken seriously constantly and not being acknowledged when they have proven to be a better person for the job. Dems are denying themselves of capturing the White House once again by nominating a lesser qualified and unknown candidate who can easily be defeated by the Republicans. Only time will tell.

Integrity of Mc Clellan does not matter to the world. But that of the president of United States of America matters the most. The truth is, the president of United States of America was untruthful and was certainly a war monger. Just because of the blood-hunger which, GW Bush carried over Saddam, thousands of young American Soldiers and several thousands of Iraqi civilians have been killed. GW Bush owes the world an unconditional apology for this war, which was sold to USA and rest of its allies solely on flawed Intelligence by a manupulative President.

I notice that the right are taking a lot of time and effort to vilify Scott McClellan as a liar, coward, low-life, etc. Yet there doesn't seem a lot of effort being given to refuting his claims. These people are more interested in adhering to the old Reagan dogma of never speaking ill of another Republican than they would ever be concerned about the fact that Bush and his administration of been lying, spinning and manipulating the facts for years.

Not only have they lied to the American public constantly for years, their actions have cost this country its standing in the world, a breakdown in our economic stability, not to mention the lives, health and safety of our armed forces in an unending conflict overseas.

Since when did Bob Dole become relevant?

lol! republican namecalling…

how mature.

So nice of Bob Dole the nobody of today's politics to give his opinion.

While I have no answers for Scott's behavior, I do know that Bob Dole just called a lot of Americans who work in places and have a similar response as Scott while working there "miserable creatures".

Explain that Bob, Scott isn't the only one who in your words "don’t have the guts to speak up or quit if there are disagreements with the boss or colleagues." Some people prioritize feeding their family over their own selfishness.

Does anyone care what Bob dole thinks? So soaking up the benefits of power, reveling in the limelight for years, and cleaning up by lobbying for the tobacco industry is better Mr. Dole? Give me a break! Someone using whatever knowledge or influence they developed in Washington to make a buck, SHOCKING!

Better late than never. All he did was comfirm what we already knew. Gen. Powell suggested that we rushed to war

Nipped on the ankle one to many times by poisonous snakes, sheriff McClellan rides out of Dodge and tries to round up the rattlers. They have all scurried back into their holes, fangs poised, venomous, ready to inflict pain.

Another Bush cronie is sent out to discredit Scott. What a surprise! . You're not fooling anybody Bob! Different tone but same message! It sad to watch a person your age using this kind of rhetoric. Scott has made his peace with our lord Jesus; you shoul do the same.

Scott McClellan-back stabber

I have to disagree with former senator Dole, McClellan has every right to publish his experience at any time, for any reason – including greed – if this were a healthy democracy.

Rush Limbaugh still believes polluting the Democratic nomination with solicitous & phony votes is okay, but having this Administration's PR chief publish his historically accurate account is '"wrong"'? Scott McClellan has spurred a fresh attention to our presidential candidates; knowing what it will take to sort fact & fiction from President Bush's Administration is among the leading issues this year.

Mr Dole may care less, but I would gauge Scott book's accuracy by reading it and reflecting on personal experiences over the past 7 years.

Thank you Scott. I believe Americans are all the wiser because of you.

Oh, Bob. Always the pot calling the kettle black, aren't you?

Mr. Dole, at least he has the gut to tell the truth no matter when, but you don't have that . Also you commented to come into picture and / or tv coverage, money.

But isn't it true? No one seems to be addressing the issue of this being true or not. Who can speak up and tell us Americans that this is not true? That should be the question and the issue for today.

go away old man. noone cares about you. i love how people get offended from people speaking the truth..unbelievable.

I view McClellan as a whistleblower; it seems that retaliation against whistleblowers will remain the norm regardless of all the talk of reform in Government or ongoing legislation to ‘protect’ those that come forward to speak out

I didn't even know this guy was still alive. Old school conservatives are hot because McClellan basically gave away the playbook to the other side. The only thing I've heard is that people who either work or have worked inthe Bush administration don't understand where McClellan is coming from. Nobody has really denied what he said. When you work at a job and you hate it, you don't whine in public. You wait until you get a new gig, then you blast off. McClellan realized early on that the Kool-Aid was tainted, and faked drinking it until he got busted, That's when he left, or was asked to leave. Bush and the Axis of Shame should have known that McClellan was going toblow up their spot. But then again, those arrogant sons of @#$$%& probably didn't care. Now all they have is to discredit him. but the American People are smarter than that. Most believe all or most of what he said in his book. If I was a republican holding office right now, i would be scared as hell. November 2008 is going to be scary as hell.

SCOTT. YOU ARE A HERO. DON'T LISTEN TO ANYONE. YOUR FAMILY, YOUR MOM AND 95% OF AMERICA IS BEHIND YOU.

Bob Dole uses e-mail?

I love the "moral" standards of Repugnants. Did you know that telling the truth (eventually) makes one a 'miserable creature?' What a world!

Oh, and Ha Ha. McCain is the new Bob Dole.

This is how republicans treat one another, no respect. But, when someone says something about the Queen Hillary, and apology must follow, PLEASE.

Well said

Dole,

Shut up!

You are a failed Senate Majority Leader .

And you failed at a pathitic presidential campaign.

You are a TOOL. period. (bet u didnt even write the email.)

Bob makes a good point regarding McClellan being spineless and leecherous. Aah but for a return of the good old days when we had men of "character" such as G. Gordon Liddy in the White House.

Okay This is the Bob Dole that I remember before he ran for prsident.
Could always count on him to speak his mind (even if you didn't like him or what he had to say) without fluff or nuance.

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
If you hate Obama, then you will probably always hate Obama, but guess what… Everyone is not crazy or a traitor, hypnotized, etc… You have to ask yourself why people from all walks of life seem attracted to Obama's message and style.

Most of these people from all walks of life, seem to be leaving other constituencies to come to support Obama.

And those that seem opposed seem to be, just "seem" to be the same ole type of people that are running this country into the ground. They refuse to accept change. They can't understand why people are so dissatisfied with our government not working for them. They seem to think that breaking from the norm is a bad thing. Or they want to return to 1990. My mom used to say, "You can have everything you want in life… EXCEPT the way it used to be…"

These same people are seeing a major decline in their own standard of living but because of some deep seeded hatred, or flawed tradition, can't seem to step into 2008.

Well I guess they have every right to live in the past, when things were good for just a few… But they do not have a right to hold the rest of us in that past. Nor do they have the right to be angry with us for wanting a policy shift in government to the inclusive, rather than the exclusive…

My sadness comes when I think about whether Obama does a great job as president or not, those intrenched boneheads will do their best to bring him down every single day of his administration.

I pray for his stamina in the White House… (Obama, quit smoking… You'll need the energy…

Thats alot of tough talk coming from an elder stateman. A firm rebuke. He must be really pissed. And I wonder why. Is it that he told the truth or that he lied? mmmmgh….

Your the miserable creature you wrinkly old sack.

Poor Bob Dole, he wouldn't know a "miserable creature" if it hit him in the head, been surrounded by them all his life. Good going Scott McClellan!

dole,bush and mcCain is all the same.
i wonder why all these republicans are so upset.

Regardless of how I feel about Bush (worst President ever) I have a hard time patting Scott McClellan on the back and saying, 'Good job." If he had such qualms then, as surely he must have, he should have spoken up and resigned on principle. If you know someone is doing something wrong and you don't try to do anything to stop it then, to me, you are equally at fault.

Sen. Dole,…you are just what most people are sick of. You, Bush, McClellan are, or were working for the American people. Bush has nearly destroyed our country. Who in hell do you think you are? This is the USA, not your , or your republican friends private land. If you think the liberal anti Bush press is alone in its condemnation of republican rule you are very wrong. Where is your concern about America? Bush is the worst President in the last 100 years, maybe more. Care about what Bush has done to hurt our country, are you afraid of truth? I think many more books will follow about lies Bush, and company told us. As far as biting the hand that fed him…it is the same hand that fed you. It is the taxes of hard working Americans. You are, and always have been in the corner of the power hungry… "Spurred on by greed" ? You must be talking about your republican businessmen friends. No one is more greedy than them.

What do expect a party hack like Bob Dole to say?

The ultimate miserable creature currently lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.The sad thing is that he has made most of us miserable as well.

And senility sets in…

I agree with Dole.

Bob Dole can use e-mail!!! Thats the real story here!!!

Bob, it's time to pop another Viagra and keep following the ole' party line. In case you haven't noticed, the times are a changing.

Good Ol' Bob must be off his medication….McClellan was pushed out by Bush and his cronies….he didn't quit….and if he wanted to cash in…why wait 4 years?

The only miserable creature is the retired Senator who clearly still wants a little limelight himself…what a joke.

So we all know that Scott is a miserable creature, telling all so belatedly as to pose him no risk but can make him rich.

Folks, this man is now for Obama. Scott was for Bush and now he is for Obama….what does that tell savy, intelligent, discerning democrats?

Bravo, and he should have highlighted the fact that McClellan suffers from ID; intellectual dysfunction.

Welcome to the real world, Scott. Make a mistake, have second thoughts, a guilty conscience – you automatically become an incompetent, schizophrenic loser with a capital L while somebody else goes merrily along on a delusional happy trip. Wasn't always this cynical. Your previous boss helped me along.

McClellan again proves that in America you can guarantee yourself financial success by being either famous or infamous—-the country does not care which you are—–so McClellan now joins the ranks of all the "tell all" Judas's and scumbags as his bank account grows.
Not to be trite, but he should remember that what goes around, comes around.

You do have the gut to criticize but you don't have the gut to read. What a pity!

This is such a typical response from the Republicans. Kill the messenger (even if he speaks the truth.) The things that Scott wrote were known long before they were written. Bush and Chaney have had a failed policy. Nothing but screw-ups and cover ups. This war was fought for profit $$$$. No competition bid to brother-in-law companies. Secret deals with oil companies, republican rich got richer. I feel Scott just wanted to get right with his God. He is a good man.

Bob Dole is a miserable creature himself for suggesting it is alright for an administration to act in a way that is completely detrimental to the national security of our country. We all know that McClellan didn't speak up because he knew any dissent would not be tolerated and he'd be gone. But, If any of the current administration hacks had the principals McClellan had (or, more appropriately, finally realized) NOBODY would be working for this administration. The folks that are still there are criminals in my mind. The Administrations supporters should be roundly criticized for continuing this sick game that has been played for the last 8 years.

What Mclellan said in his book is nothing new. He just reminded
what was the truth about Iraq before US invasion. He can not get
any credit writing the book. Bush administration has the right to
accuse him for his betrayal to them. The only matter I did not understand, staying a staunch ally with the administration as long as he served, why suddenly he went against them. Money? or some other promise the administration broke?

Maybe Scott is telling the truth.

YES WE CAN – WHEN WE UNITE

Well done!

Dear Hillary Clinton

From your fans and supporters…if you are pushed out of this Presidential Election race unfairly here at the end as they have tried to do to you thoughout the last 6 months of your campaign even when you have been ahead by over a 100 delegates and still referred to as the loser…

Please Please Please…for the sake of all the Hardworking American People…run as an Independant and give both Obama and McCain HELL!!!!

All the Best,
Your loyal Supporter in Texas!

Hillary for President 2008!

Couldn't have said it better myself, Bob.

Is the message getting lost in all of the messenger shooting going on here? The message: McClellan, Congress, the press and the people were betrayed by the Bush administration and now thousands of humans are dead as the result.

Of course McClellan is a slimeball, but that doesn't mean he isn't telling the truth.

Miserable, belated truth teller, Scott is now supporting Obama just so he can write another tell-all book in 5 years.

Good for you Bob Dole. You expressed my thoughts exactly.

Honestly, would it have been better for McClellan to quit during the political controversy floating in the administration's face or waiting until the time could be less damaging. As for him writing the book before Bush is out of office…oh well. I find it amazing that people are coming out of the wood works to attack McClellan. If the administration didn't have a lot of smoke in the air, no one would believe that there was a fire. My point is that the Bush administration should be ashamed of themselves for WHATEVER they may have done that would CAUSE people to believe that they were not honest.

The fierce and bitter response by the Bush adminstration and its supporters to Scott McClellan's book indicate that these people have no idea on how to respond to someone who has had an attack of conscience.

Do we have to wait 4 or 5 years for the Scott book on the Obama lies?

I will just not vote for Obama, like I did not vote for the lying Bush.

My judgement of true character is superior to the double-talking Scott who now supports the two-faced hypocrit, Obama.

Lifelong democrat, writing in HRC.

I'm sorry Mr. Viagra, who is greedy? Your wife Elizabeth and your fellow dirt bag scum on the right come to mind. Boo hoo the idiots on the right are mad. Too bad. If this book is such an outrage than why aren't they denying any of the content? They all have the same talking points.
BTW read the book Dole before you comment!

He is a man with a conscience wich is more than I can say for the Bush Fiasco.

What Mr Archer Daniel Midland butt boy forgets is that anyone who spoke out against the Bush administration when his approval rating was sky-high got fired or flushed.

This whole McClellan episode is all politically driven. Obama uses the book it to attack McCain, then McClellan hints at supporting Obama. This tells you a lot about the Obama campaign. How they get someone to do this type of things is beyond us. They can deny anything. But smart people already know this type of coincidences happen too frequently. I guess that's what they mean by crossing the aisle and bring the parties together!

Here we go: The White House and Republican Noise Machine ramps up their attacks to discredit McClellan although every thoughtful American knows he is telling the truth and has known the truth for years. It is why we need to impeach Bush/Cheney and convict many of his administration for war crimes.

I have to agree with Dole and I am a democrat. When you work closely with high profile people some of the personal things that you are priviledged to over hear or see should remain confidential.These people deserve some privacy.. He can talk about the business and all of that but there should be a line drawn when it comes to selling a person's personal business. This should apply across the board for actors, CEO's, musicians, any high profile people who trust you with their families and invite you into their homes.

No shortage of miserable creatures or greed-heads orbiting planet Bushcorp – there's enough scorn to go around…

This criticism is coming from a member of the party whose number one tactic is the smear. Isn't this a case of the pot calling the kettle black?

Sock it to him!!

Dole is right. Why would someone who so vehemenently disagree with something go in from of the american people and perpetuate the "lie"? Doesn't that say something to his character?

If McClellan had spoken to his superiors about this sooner, they would have found a way to discredit him so that if he ever did try to go public, nobody would believe him. Keeping this to himself and then springing it suddenly was his power move against much more powerful people.

PS – if you don't read the book, can you justifiably comment on its contents?

Way to go, politico. Rather than address the message, attack the messenger.

Wow!

No I don't think he a miserable creature. He's not that old yet. But one things for sure…He must have struck a nerve because he has all the Bush supporters/republicans foaming at the mouth, pacing around his every move — wating…ready to eat his soul.

Dole, just try to keep your balance before you start in on someone else.

Is this surprising to anyone? "Kill the messenger" in action is what Dole's message amounts to! He knows McCllelan could not have spoken up and been heard. Anybody with a half a brain knows that. If there is one thing we have all understood about the Bush Administration it is this: They didn't tolerate dissent or disagreement. Look at what happened to Valerie Plame.

If anyone would know what it is to be a "miserable creature" in politics, it would be Bob Dole. He's the role model. There has been no more vicious hatchett man in the Republican Party over the years.

Five years from now, Scott will have similar belated concerns over the demagogue, Obama, that he currently is enthralled with.

Scott was wrong on Bush, and he is wrong now about Obama.

Scott obviously can not judge the true character of a candidate.

Write in Hill for a Nov win.

Clearly the Bush Brainwashing didn't take effect on McClellan. Thank you McClellan for reaffirming what we all knew was happening in the White House – LIES, DECEPCEPTION, MANIPULATION.

Talk about someone who revels in the publicity–a guy who has been a non-factor for a decade. And notice that almost none of the Republicans issuing these scathing indictments of McClellan address the actual issues he raised, only that he was some sort of "rat", "squealer", or other child-like retort.

Boo-hoo, someone saw the Emperor Bush's undies and blabbed. Republicans should be barred from higher office for the next two decades as punishment for all the destruction they have wrought on the American economy, our troops, our morale, and our reputation in the world.

Holy Smokes!

I have to agree with Mr. Dole. This sleaze bag stayed right in the thick of things, admits he knew there were lies and deception, and did nothing but collect a nice paycheck. Now he wants to plays the poor dupe who wants the truth to be told. Why didn't you speak out then? Why didn't you resign and tell the country the truth at the time, BEFORE it was too late. Because….

there's no money to be made from being a stand-up guy with principles and a back bone. If you really cared Mr. McClellen, this book wouldn't be necessary. We would already know the truth because you had the chance to tell us 5 years ago. You should be ashamed!!!!!!

Stupid email by Dole. He should stick with hawking erectile dysfunction stuff which is what he's fit for anyway

Bob Dole you're such a has-been looser. go get another face lift and your roots are showing-time for another dye job.
You really hate it when the truth comes out about you lying buddy Bushy Boy, makes you look kind of stupid, don't it.

Gee here's a good example. You have a friend who you have known for some years and you think he is a good guy…

Then you find out he is a serial rapist and murdered. So when you disown him, does that mean you are an ingrate…what in the devil is wrong with these republicans. They can't stand for anyone to tell the truth about bush. Sorta Kinda sounds like the bunch that support obama.

Bob Dole is a racist has been. Military service does not qualify you for anything other than military service and his was so long ago he already forgot about it. He is a loser and a dinosaur who should sit down and become extinct. There is a new world order and old white men like Dole are NOT part of it.

Oh, is he still alive?

Obviously, Dole is getting old. I used to support this guy when I lived in Kansas and he was senator. The republicans have more loyalty to their party and the people in it then they do to their country, this has always been true. Even if their president is the head of a gang of criminals blind loyalty is more important then the country. The democrats have this problem to a certain extent but the point is here that the American people are getting sick of it and the republicans have been late to catch up this. The republicans are forgetting that we want a government that works for us and is not treated as a part of some sort of game for power.

Sure it would have been nice if McClellan had spoken up right after he quit or announced it at a press briefing while he was still press secretary but in reality that stuff never happens. Most of us put up with this stuff when we employed somewhere and then after quitting we start reflecting, which is exactly what happened here. This is the book of a disillusioned man. All these republicans coming forward and saying horrible things about someone who had a change of heart should really be looking at what is going on with all the corruption and illegal behavoir of the administration instead of trying to defend it. This party is headed down hill fast.

Oh, for crying out loud! McClellan is a hero for confirming so much of the bad things about this President that many of us believed but didn't know for absolutely sure. It's a great thing that he came out and spilled his guts, the people have a right to know that the man who screwed up Katrina relief and gave us Iraq is really as bad as we thought.

President Bush deserves this, and a lot worse.

The intensity of these insults just makes one wonder whether McLellan did not hit a nerve here. Could he be saying what so many of these Republicans did not want to have come out?

ya dont criticize the administration or anything….keep following the lies of bush and co.

I have to agree that Scott is a miserable creature- waited too long to say too little, when it could do no good- but make him rich.

Now this liar is for Obama.

Another reason to dump Obama.

Write in Hillary Clinton in Nov.

Wow!! Way to go, Mr. Dole. I'm glad you didn't find it necessary to mince words like Mr. McClellan did. I think you hit the nail on the head!

Hey Bob Dole:

Nice try, you simpering Republican shill. After you're done acting like a boob yelling at McClellan, why don't you reserve some of that anger for Bush, Cheney, Rove and David Addington? They're the ones who have betrayed all of us for money. They're the ones who have betrayed our country. If anything, this is the first really patriotic act that McClellan has made. Who cares about Republicans and Democrats when the thing of real value, America, is suffering under the weight of corrupt politicians, of whose seedy ranks you can now count yourself.

Wow Bob Dole…

Kinda blew a gasket there, didn't ya?

I guess it's only patriotic to put country over party by whistle-blowing …

when a Dem is exposed…..

"A miserable creature spurred on by greed." That sounds like the president to me.

says the man who was a spokesperson for ED and viagra.

Ah . . . Ever since those hilarious post election Pepsi Commericials, I had forgotten the "Mean" Bob Dole. Kind of nice to see him back.

Aww Bob….how can you comment on the book if you don't read it. Can anyone say whether or not McClellan was lying?

You know, Senator Dole and everyone else in the Bush White House now questioning McClellan and his motives for his tell-all, I have somethign to say to you. We as Americans, what else are we supposed to do? Our Congress, our leaders have totally failed in their constitutional responsiblity to hold Bush/Cheney accountable for their acts that are worthy of impeachment – their abuse of power that led us to a false war. Pelosi and Reid have failed to bring impeachment against Bush and largely because of REpublican in the Congress continuing to support the illegal President. White House officials continue to ignore and resist valid subpoenas from Congress itself and the Justice Department to come before teh public and explain their actions. A Justice Department in the pocket of Bush Cheney who will not do its independent obligation to defend federal law. So we as Americans, if we have to resort to insider tell-alls for the truth to come out, then so be it. We deserve the truth and Senator Dole, we have no obligation to protect a president who has done nothing to protect us, and in fact, has undermined our Constitution.

If he had spoken up he woulld of been run out of town ala Richard Clarke…you Republicans are dishonest and have no pride in your country over party.

If not for the John Deans and Scott Mcclellans of this world and "Deep throat" this country would be run by ruthless tyrants having their way with our "democracy"

What is wrong with you people??

Dole –

Just be quiet no wants to here you. You probably did worst and we just don't know about. All you guys are a bunch of crooks so how can you call this man an ingrate or a miserable creature. Ya'll bunch of money grabbers and thieves have robbed this country for decades. Many Americans have suffered at your hands and it is about time somebody tell how dirty you guys have been in running that White House.

Our soldiers are dying in vain over there and it is people like Dole, Bush, and McCain etc., who continue to rip the life out of our soldiers just to stroke their ego and boast their position. But the day will come you will have to answer to a GOD who you will not be able to lie or deceive your way. He will call you out for just who you are and trust me HE want have to hide behind a book or people. YOUR JUDGEMENT WILL COME; AND GREAT WILL BE YOUR FALL.

You know these people are halarious. How many people out there sit back in their jobs while things go on that they know are wrong and they don't like without saying or doing anything about it until they have left or are leaving?

I, for one, know what happens when you don't go along with the crowd at work. You are often shown the door and I mean that literally and I am speaking from personal experience.

Another Democrat that created the Reagan Democrats.

Dole is senile…. the miserable creature is obviously BUSH….

Funny how the GOP gets so outraged when someone tells tales out of school… but the lies and corruption of the Bush administration don't bother them at all…..

Yeah Bob, and cigarettes don't cause cancer. Correct?

There is Dole defending his old boys club. To thee guys the definitions of loyalty is to look out for each other and not the well being of this country. No wonder these people have ran this country into a dungeon.

The only mistake I see on this guy is his silence at the time. However, it's better late than never, and I suspect there will be more people comming out of their shadows and oppose the war soon. Why don't they leave him alone? We all know that the war was wrong and the most unpopular issue in the US history. So direct critics to Bush and McCain, not McClellan;

Peace is not just the absence of war, but it's definitely not the presence of WAR.

Sometimes the truth hurts! Scott McClellan was only speaking the truth about Bush and his policies. Get over is Bob Dole

Dole or more like Old
go take your medication…..he is absolutely correct…
he speake on behalf of all of America who finds the Bush/MCsame administration to be dispicable….. this is cow boy diplomacy and propaganda tactics to go to war at its highest….he is only confirming what most of America already knew…..loyalty should be to the country not to an administration with blood on their hands responsible for killing over 4000 Americans and thousand more Iraq's in a war that should of never been authorized.

I guess rantings like this are what one should expect from the conservative camp. Mr. Dole does not take issue with the statements Mr. McClellan has made, only with the fact that he made them. I think that Mr. McClellan is a true American hero. It's not easy to speak up, but he has done so. He is a patriot and deserving of much admiration and support. Thank you for telling the truth.

Where is Mr. Dole's condemnation of the Administration?

Clearly Mr. Bush's transgressions are the greater of two evils here. Why shoot the messenger?

Let's try to keep our eye on the ball, folks.

Miserable creatures loved Bush, and now they love Obama.

Nuff said!

Way to go McClellan—-you;ve reached the American dream—climb to the top of the financial ladder and trample everyone on the way up—
however, remember, you will meet these same people on the way down.

Get over it, this is not the first time that a clinton aide has stated they disagreed with bush and his administration, include Colin Powell. The administration and republicans are upset because Mcclellan caught them off guard, just like every other event that has occurred during the past eight years, Sept. 11, Hurricane Katrina, Iraq, Iran, and a host of scandals. This administration has a lot of disgruntaled employees, including thousands of troops stationed in Iraq.

Yep, won't be long now and Cheney will be taking Scott out quail hunting.

Who cares what Bob Dole thinks?

If I were a Republican, who belived in his party before everything else, I would agree, but I am neither.

It sounds like that Bob Dole felt the need to be angry because someone told Bob Dole to be angry. Bob Dole feels the need to support the president because the president is a Republican despite having little in common with the conservative-want-to-be (Bush, not Dole).

If Bob Dole refuses to read the book, I don't know why we should take his point of view with any seriousness. There is a need for those that were in an organization (like the White House) to take time to reflect on what went on then. I just wonder if there would be enough time for the loyalists to the G.W. Bush presidency to allow any kind of critizism. I wonder if McClellan would have really been able to bring up any objection; mob mentality anyone?

NOTICE HE DID NOT FALT HIM FOR LIEING.

Dems are in a jam.

And with the support of Scott, just nailed another nail in the Obama coffin.

Why the hell does Dole come out every 4 years? He is like a cicada tree roach. Just go away and eat your own feces.

Obama is the onliest candidate that will put this country back in order. He may not have a lot of Presidential experience. But who does? I don't want a old senile warmonger/McSHAME runnings things around here. Nor do I want a crybaby/Hill Billie either.

Obama's potential is incredible. He has experience running the political game the right way, his people behind the scenes are great too. He is smart and I bet he will improve our foreign relations with those who hate us around the world. No other candidate will do this. Especially not McShame.

If Hillary runs independent. She will split the vote and McSenile will win. Shame on Hillary. God help us all!

Yeah Bobby tell him like it is.Obama is feeling the landslide thats comming,thats why he paid this scumbag to lie.Thank god the american people see through this conspiracy by the liberal facist media.Enjoy your 15 minutes obama.

DEATH TO TYRANTS

Kudos to Bob Dole, a man of integrity!

Gee, Bob, shouldn't you "stick" to erectile dysfunction ads; you actually have some credibility there. Your ilk fall into step with the Ferrara ilk…washed up poliitical hacks. The new voters of today…most of them young but a few past 60 like myself…easily see through your trough fed by the Republican spin for your entire lives. That trough has blinded you and others like you to what is really important…truth. And, the truth is, the present administration has zero credibility with these "new" voters. Oh, before I forget, McCain is looking for a VP running mate. You're one of the old boys so, hop aboard.

Bob Dole is irrelevant! Has the Alzheimer's kicked in already????

At least he is coming forward now. That takes a fair amount of courage . . . to speak out at all against the most powerful people on the planet. Imagine if they found out before he published. He had to be worried about taking a bullet in the back of the head.

Yeah, people never have a change of heart or "see the error of their ways".

Shut up, Dole.

I'm outraged at all these miserable creatures who are lashing out at McClellan. I haven't Finished reading the book yet, and nothing seems too impressive abt the book. But i do feel that McClellan did the right thing by expressing what he felt us American should know. This is not just abt his freedom to express him self, but rather abt what we as American should have known a long time ago. I'd be more then happy to see a rebuttal coming out from these Fear mongers but after all what can you expect from an administration that has gained nothing but failure & given us 4 THOUSAND Caskets of Young Men’s & women, wrapped in American Flag, who were to shape the future of this country. In addition delivered Democracy to Iraqi in the Form of 1,000,000 Deaths.

I might not agree with him but for Christ sake the last person i want to see speaking out against him is the Bush Administration, an Administration that was & is spurred on by greed.

This is preciously why I'm rooting for Change (Obama) 08

Scott chose Bush for president.

Now he supports Obama.

Enough said about this miserable tow-faced hypocrit.

Where's is logic…The democratic party rules are as of now outdated. A precednet has been set by the 48 state primary. Rules are not carved in stone. DEms,overrule your rules and get on with Revotes you kknow where. M and F

Let's make it clear: I do not like George Bush. Even as Republican I did not vote for him.

Now, having said that, I totally agree with Dole.

I hope McClellan DOES NOT "endorse" Obama. That would be bad for him. If he does, Obama MUST REJECT THE ENDORSEMENT.

McClellan's critics (Dole included) exhibit behaviour which speaks to everything that is wrong with politics. Be loyal to the hand that feeds you, rather than taking the higher ground. Crooked politicians hate the thought that loyalty goes only so far.

All the republicans are of course going to discount what McClelland says, but I admire him for speaking up, and their is no time like the present. Scott has shown courage and has only written about everything we already knew about what has been going on in the white house. He just confirmed everything we all have known. The greed and corruption in our current administration has been a frustration for alot of people including those people that have served in the administration and have left it. Id love to see them all step up to the plate and be honest about what has been going on, and would love to see all those people that have been forced out, come out and back up Scott's writings. Good Job Scott.

I guess for Dole, Viagra stiffens republican rants more than what the drug is supposed to be taken for.

The truth hurts, doesn't it?

Scott miserably misread Bush.

Now we should trust this hypocritical liar to choose the right candidate, Obama?

Obama is Bush in black skin- smooth, cocky, arrogant, swaggering, adept at lying, the big pretender.

I think it is amusing how badly Republicans take it when they get ratted out. They are pulling out every high profile Republican to talk about how horrible a person McClellan must be for exposing how horrible of a president Bush has been.

mcclellan, is a greedy opportunist. i absolutely believe what he is saying, i have long before he said it. butt if what he is saying was true them he had a moral obligation to tell people what was happening back when he know. saying this crap now is just plain money grubbing. bush made nave done bad things, but you are just as guilty with yyour silence.

But, look at those attorneys the Whitehouse fired because they were not um, how did the Whitehouse say it, "Loyal Bushies?" Seems anyone who publicly disagreed with the administration got fired. So, I guess Mr. McClellan would have rather gone out on his on accord rather than fired because he spoke up. I applaud him for doing so, because the criticism he is facing now is just as bad. But here is the bigger question…Why isn't anyone denying Mr. McClellan's account. Why isn't anyone saying that his book is filled with lies? Interesting that no one seems to be saying what McClellan wrote is not true. They are only attacking the messenger, and that my friends, speaks volumes about this administration.

It's a shame that the spin machine from the Republicans may actually get some this hate-speech out to the public. I fear that a good number of folks will believe him that McCllelan was only in it for the money. Personally, if I were in the inner cirlce and saw problems with the most powerful individuals in the world, I'd be reluctant to step up and say "They're lying!" Why? It's not out of the realm of possibility that his life would be ruined beyond just his career. I hope that his book does some good for changing our country's political, social and economic direction. Obama '08.

What is this CNN? A blast from the "political" past? You've got Dole and Ferraro tickers on here. They are both meaningless in this year of change!

Bob Dole says……..

I supported you in your last campaign….at the time I thought I just wasted my vote….now I realize what a mistake I had made, how can you sit back and talk like you support Bush. These are all things we generally allready knew about the administration and now they are a little more confrimed. Get over it Bush and his CROYNIES have ruined your party and the country as a whole. Its time for the propole to have there say once again and we will when take back the country from your FAILED conservative ways!!!

Ithink I'll go hug a tree now!!!

I agree!!!

Scott is just another liar for Obama.

Took him years to discern Bush's true character.

Now he is misreading Obama as a good guy.

Vote the opposite of this hypocrit.

Write in Hillary Clinton in Nov.

Obama is poison- just like smooth-talking, cocky, swaggering, lying, but nice pesonality Bush was.

I did not vote for Bush and I am proud to say I will not vote for Obama.

Another lifelong democrat leaves the fan club.

Loyalty to a fellow Republicans trumps the truth and the public trust.

Thanks for setting us straight, Bob.

Is Dole still alive? I thought he died years ago.

OUCH!

But he has a point, the timing of these comments coming after he quit his nice comfortable & powerful job reveal some pretty poor motives.

The democratic party rules are as of now outdated. A precedent has been set by the 48 states primary, a first. Rules are not carved in stone. Dems.overrule your rules and get on with democracy..a revote in Michigan and Florida. The supreme rules are with the voters..the right to vote in a democracy…don't settle for less.

Bob, with all respect, shut up! You are describing yourself, we didn't see you come to challenge this adminstration ever, so stop telling other people what's right or wrong. You don't have the courage to do what's right by publicly address what you believe, shame on you and go home please.

Hallo Bob, you better read that book, although it is hard to understand the truth. But the admins under Gerge W., with your personal blessing and your god friend Dick, have betreyed the law of the USA in a way, nobody else in the world would believe. That is the fact which makes it essential to no the hard and unbelievable truth comming out of the White / Toll / House.
I am sure, that for the next 20 years, vou Reps will be banned from stepping in the White House and or any kind of admin in Wash DC.

Thank you very much for choosing a McCain hero OPA (grandfather) who can handle guns and pistols or cannons, but has no idea of economy or finacial problems.
Pistols and guns expirience though, we do not need essentially, the other one are more needed, desperatedly.

Thank you McClellen, and god bless you Bobby.

I really don't care what Bob Doyle has to say about this. McCellen came out and spoke the truth. If he had done so during his time in this administration, all the repugs would have had plenty of time to chew him up and spit him out.

Good job Scottie!

Wow. Seems to have hit a nerve. Might the allegations be true?

You(Bob) may not be happy with McClellan but I'm not happy with your peeps…..I have strong feeling towards you guys(Reps)…….don't even get me started…

Everyone knows that the things in his book are true. Republicans can't stick together to the point where they are denying what everyone else knows.

He didn't write the book for you to read. He wrote the book for those who CARE for the country and want to bring properity and it, and obviously you're not one of such people….

I agree with Bob Dole. It seems like McClellan is trying to cash in when he should have stood up for what he thought was wrong years ago.

YEAH! You go, DOLE! You got the guts to tell it like it is!

Regarding your past article, CNN: Ferraro is ABSOLUTELY RIGHT in her remarks. Obama's supporters always scream "racism" everytime anyone questions Obama as a suitable candidate for the highest position in the US. There is NOTHING special about Obama. He is extremely arrogant, inexperienced, he's a hypocrite and a traitor, and oh yeah, also a sexist. I can only imagine the uproar if it would been MacCain the one to call a female reporter "sweetie" like Obama did. How can I vote for someone that ditched his Pastor/mentor/spiritual adviser/friend just to get more votes??? How can anybody trust such a hypocrite? Although I do not agree with Reverend Wright's views, I feel sorry for him for being so humilitated and discarded by Obama simply to get more votes. It is so apparent that the only reason Obama has gotten this far is because he is black . Obama has gotten almost ALL of the African-American vote. If that is not blatant racism , I don't know what is. His supporters treat him as he were their long-awaited Messiah. And his speeches? Oh please: Blah, Blah, Blah, change, blah blah, change, blah, change, blah, blah BLAH… I am so sick of the word "change"!!!!!!!! Well, Obama supporters, "change" is NOT necessarily a good thing. Obama has the huge potential to "change" this country's dire situation from bad to worse. I, along with MILLIONS of voters do not trust Obama and WILL NOT VOTE FOR HIM.

Go take your Viagra old man.
Scott McClenna is a decent man

Me thinks thou doust protest tooooooo much… They've had every one of their talking heads on every talkshow known to man… All trying to discredit Scott Mcclellan…lol

Even Tony Blair went on the Today show today….lol Seems like someone is really scare that people may start taking these allegations seriously and start following the money trail…hmmmm…

I guess Scott is now rooting for another unqualified, smooth-talking liar.

This man was for Bush ( I did not vote for Bush twice) and he is now for Obama.

Anyone see the pattern of not being able to determine someone's true character until it is too late?

I see Obama as the black Bush- cocky, arrogant, boastful, all talk, no experience, manipulative, rides on the persona rather than on substance.

Bob, don't hold back, tell us how you really feel.

No one has yet to attack Scottie on what he is saying in his book!

They are attacking him for telling his side of his story in the white house!

We troops are to stay in Iraq and die for a lie!

Go Bam! Love how all the republicans are marching out on this! The truth shall set you free!

Now McClellan hints at supporting Obama. Good for him – we don't need this weasel in the Republican party. Obama can him any day – the disloyal piece of shmack.

SET COORDINATES FOR BOB DOLE

HAHAHA!! Thank you very much Scott!! So many Bush insiders have left and told stories of corruption and deception, but yet they are always called looney. I hate this administration, and I think more insiders are going to come forward in the future!

THAT'S OKAY STAY LOYAL YOU REPUBLICAN TRAITORS…..

Out of the mouths of Republicans comes garbage……starting at the White House.

I like Bob Dole, but he's got this wrong. The miserable creatures are Rove, Rumsfeld, and Cheney. Bush is just a miserable failure.

I want to see the email.

Bob Dole shows what Republicans of made of Politics and division above good goverance; beside he's irrelevant at this point even for Viagra commercials.

I think it is Dole who is the "miserable creature". Scott did nothing but tell the truth. Most people feel that the war was wrong and know that they were lied to, so, what is wrong with him saying it. At the end of Scott's life he has to answer to GOD, not Bush and Dole. Maybe he really felt a need to make amends now.Besides, no one is saying the book is not true, which should tell us something!

Scott McClellan did the right thing. Bob Dole and the other Republican supporters will follow and lie for the Bush administration until the bitter end.

G. Bush invoked "Hitler" when he spoke in Israel, comparing appeasement to getting rid of tyrants. Bush believed that many democrats were aiding these tyrants in some perverted way.

Now, Scott McClellan comes out to say he was part of a Bush regime which basically runs itself on tyranny. All of the Bush hard core followers are staying with the tyrant. Just like the followers of "Hitler" did.

Praise to Scott McClellan and to all who break away and tell all about a regime built on tyranny and fear, regardless of your party.

How very Christian of you Bob Dole

Please, Mr. Dole give me a break. You are bashing Scott for comming forward now, but it don't seem to bother you that over 4,000 americans have died because of the lies that countless peopel in this miserable administration made up. I wonder who sleeps better at night……….Scott or Karl Rove

Who is Bob Dole? Never heard of him!! Another conservative?

Not sure what the impact of this book will have on the presidential race. What's encouraging is that senator Obama has been endorsed by THREE former SEC chiefs, two of which are republicans and the third one served under the Clinton administration.

Again, this shows you what senator Obama can do to move this country forward through bipartisanship.

GO Obama 2008

The same can be said for Bush and his cronies…."No, your type soaks up the benefits of power, revels in the limelight for years, then quits, and spurred on by greed, cashes in with some speeches to "replenish the old coffers."……….please

Bob Dole is a has been, it looks like he's the ones trying to soak up the limelight!

Wow – Bob Dole is actually pretty funny. Who would have known?

Funny how none of these Republicans are contesting the contents of the book, only blasting its author. My conservative colleagues have questioned Bush's truthfullness for the past 6 years, anyway.

'

Now I know why I always liked Bob Dole.

,

well at least McClellan is better than the ingrates like Bush, Cheney,
Rumsfeld, Rice and MCSame who started and continue this
illegal and immoral war and continue to put the lives of noble troops at risk…… so put that in your pipe Dole and smoke it!!!

Hey Bob… Catch!

CNN – Why do you stop allowing people to post comments after 31 posts? makes no sense!

I don't care what Bob Dole has to say!

Tell em Bob,

Vote McCain or join the insane (Liberals)..

Now this weasel is backing Obama…..seems all the scum does

Hooray for you Bob Dole! Somebody with the 'chutzpah' for a change to speak out TRUTHFULLY!

The nerve of him daring to tell the truth! LOL. Give me a break.

What would u rather have, a man who lies for friendship or a man who tells the truth to save the country. I am going in door #2. Therefore, Mr. Dole you are the weasel.

SD

Gee Dole, that's just what I thought about you and your repub cronies. I seriously don't know how any enlightened person could ever in clear conscience vote republican and certainly not for McWar

Scott is a miserable two-faced, double-talking hypocrit.

And… he now supports Obama.

Obama is the candidate of choice for hateful, deceitful, flip-flopping liars.

Go Hillary!!!!!!!!!

CNN Bob Dole opened the gates for name calling so this is what I have been wanting to tell him for a long time.

BOB YOU HOOK ARM DRIED UP OLD SKELETOID CRAWL BACK INTO YOUR BLACK HOLE AND SHUT UP. YOU OLD BEAST FROM HELL SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND GO SIT DOWN AND DIE. YOU NO GOOD CRAPPIN IN YOUR PANTS OLD MAN YOUR DAYS ARE OVER AND GONE SO SHUT THE $#@( UP AND GET BACK INTO THE PIT OF HELL THAT YOU CAME OUT OF.

Thanks for letting me get that out, now I feel better. How can one call a man names for telling the truth. Is that the way we are supposed to treat people for coming forth. Do we call them a SNITCH and other names for doing what is right. Bob Dole has the same ethics as John Gotti.

Who has any doubt that the Bush administration has been crooked, corrupt, and deliberately dishonest all along? The Republicans are just upset that McClellan has timed this to hurt them in the election, which was a very shrewd move. Why blow your wad to inflict an inconsequential fleshwound when you can bide your time for the kill shot? McClellan DID quit, didn't he, Dole?

It is when the Republicans start to get this upset, that I think this book is really on to something. If the book is nothing more than his 15 minutes of fame, why are GOP members going to extreme lengths to discredit not only the book, but Scott McClellan himself? I think if the book was full of flat out lies, the GOP would just brush it off, not talk about how he's a "miserable creature" and an "ingrate!" That's just going a little overboard. I am going to read it and judge for myself.

Mr. Dole–If Mr. McClellan is miserable due to his dealings with the Bush Administration, imagine how the rest of us feel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What rock did he crawl out under?

It's a shame that Mr. Dole finds Scott McClellan's truth-telling to be self-serving. Mr. McClellan did not get paid as a press secretary to "speak up publicly like a man." He was paid to be the mouthpiece of the administration. He apparently had no reason to question the veracity of what he was asked to say until he recognized that there was preponderance of evidence pointing to lies and fabrications being told by administration members. He DID do the honorable thing when he left his job. After he found that he was spouting untruths to the American public I doubt he could sleep at night. He has done us all a favor by confirming what we have suspected for several years. Thank you, Scott McClellan, for telling the truth.

McLellan isnt the only insider to come out with criticisms
of the Bush administration..

Question is, What made McLellan and many others like him, publically thrash Bush and decisions made by him and his advisors?

Something is definately up! I wouldnt be one bit surprised if Bush did lie to the U.S. in order to conjure up support for his war!

Bob Dole must be looking in the mirror again, as he is one of the old Nixon holdover "flag pins are more important than real patriotism" political hacks who was soundly rejected by the nation on his presidential run.

another bitter old man in the gop!!!!!!

As the adage goes, "takes one to know one." 'Nuff said.

Too bad what Bob Dole thinks hasn't mattered for a long- long time. The truth is making these people move like a bed of snakes that had acid poured over them.

Someone forget to take his meds this morning? Someone please change his depends. Dole is a hater and a loser.

The first sentence sounds like a Bob Dole statement:
Bob Dole: "Bob Dole is furious with Scott McClellan's public criticisms of the Bush administration"

The only one that is miserable and sad is the REPUBLICAN PUNDITS that has created this fiasco………..Bush, McCain….etc..etc…

We the people will stand for this no more…..

Mr. Dole and Geraldine need to realize their time has come and gone.

I think it is fine Mr. McClellan expressed his opinions. Don't go calling him names.

As Americans, we are smart enough to read and decipher for ourselves and form our own opinions. They can have their opinions, but please be aware no one really cares anymore.

I'm glad that hypocritical, double-talking, wait until it is too late to do any good and speak out Scott, is supporting Obama.

One more nail in the Obama coffin in Nov.

Write in the one and only qualified, genuine, true leader of the people- Hillary Clinton.

If all are millions of supporters do so, then she will win.

I think it's perfectly legitimate for Scott McClellan to have believed what they told him while he was on the Pres' staff and then to later have looked back and changed his mind. It's called hindsight….growth…gaining wisdom through introspection. I think Scott is telling the truth as he now sees it. And as far as "biting the hand that fed you", what incredible arrogance, snobbery, and anti-ethical thinking on the part of Republicans. It has NEVER been acceptable for a person to put loyalty above telling truth to power. Granted it would have looked better had he done it while he was on the staff but he may not have been in possession of the facts that he has now or he may not have had the perspective he has now to see the truth. I say you only get to throw stones at Scott McClellan if you NEVER changed your mind, NEVER looked back and decided that your perception was probably skewed and NEVER felt compelled to right a wrong in which you participated.

if McClellan is miserable for saying the truth, then I wonder what we should call Dole for trying to surpress the truth….absolutely ridiculus.

OK, old man Dole. you haven't even read the book yet you are spewing hatred.

i told you republicans eat their young and then wonder why some get angry and bite back….

Kinda expected and most likely just the beginning. Wonder if McClellan will need to turn in his secret Republican decoder ring…

Oh PUHLEEEEZE!!!! BOB DOLE????? C'mon…..you're joking…right??

The Democratic party rules are as of now outdated. A presedent has been set by the 48 states primary, a first. Rules are not carved in stone. Dems, over-rule your rules and get on with (plenty of time left do do the right thing) the REVOTES in Michigan and Florida.
The supreme rules are with the voters, the right to vote in a democracy.

Voters of Michigan and Florida if the Dems make an undemocratic move on May 31..then go NOvember and vote McCain at least you know the man

Who is spurred on by greed ? You (or) McClellan ?
Are you suggesting that Americans dont need to know the truth?
McClellan had the real guts to come out like that and disclose all your political scandals. It is not Bush to blame, it is people like you that are ruining the system
Go away and I hope to see you and all the miserable creatures like you behind bars soon
OBAMA / AL GORE 2008

IT LOOKS LIKE SCOTT McCLELLAN HAS CAPTURED THE ATTENTION OF THE REPUBLICANS. THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS HE SHOULD HAVE WAITED UNTIL THE NOVEMBER ELECTION TO SELL HIS BOOK. I THINK THE TIMEING IS PERFECT. A RECENT POLL ASKED—WHO DO YOU BELIEVE, THE WHITE HOUSE OR McCLELLAN. I LOVE THE RESULTS—89% BELIEVE McCLELLAN, ONLY 11% BELIEVE THE WHITE HOUSE.
IN THE NOVEMBER ELECTION, OBAMA WILL WIN BY A LANDSLIDE.

Something "BITTER" lurks in this administration. The truth can be really tough to swallow! I'm loving every minute of this!

I'm sorry to hear that Bob Dole would prefer that the blinders be kept on the American public.

We've been deceived. We all knew it, but not we have further confirmation.

No one should be in favor of keeping such important information from the public when there are the lives of our military on the line.

Dole…use your walking stick to hit your brain to get back in shape. If this fellow is speaking the truth ..why not? If his not..why not sue him..what is it with you coming up with this style of speaking about someone. You lost an election ..do you know why? Read what you have said and you will get the answer. You are a real walking stick!!

Bob Dole certainly didn't mince any words. I can understand his sentiment, however as the timing and methodology does seem a bit opportunistic. There really isn't anything new in McClellan's revelations. I think most Republians would tell him, "I don't mind what you did. I mind the way you did it."

This from a senile out of touch old man, Shut up Bob Dole. You are IRREVELENT.

the fossils are coming out of the woodwork. they can't stand that politics as normal for them may be changing … and isn't it about time. Dole and Ferraro – old pols yell at cloud!

How much money has Bob Dole earned as a lobbyist by trading on his political connections? What's that phrase about pots and kettles?

He reps Archer Daniels Midland, for one. I'm sure they employ him only because he's a fan of agribusiness and not because he's a former Senator with deep connections in Washington.

Money quote:

"if all these awful things were happening, and perhaps some may have been…"

Exactly.

All those attacking McClellan on his motives are trying to distract America from the TRUTH of what he is saying. Imagine that!

how come these guys are callin Mclaellan all these names but no one is refutiating any of these claims?

If Obama is chosen and loses the election then Hillary is the only one to blame because she has brainwashed her week minded supporters not to vote for the Democratic party.
As this drags out it becomes difficult for her to fix what she has done.

Any Democrat at this point should win against the Bushes 3rd term that is if the Brain Dead Zombies wake up.

How many more innocent lives will be lost in the next 4 to 8 yrs? How many more trillions will be spent?

Wake up Zombies!!!!!

Paid for by the Democratic party 2008

BOB WHO?!

looking like the Crypt keeper, does the truth hurt your party….

awwwww poor dole, do us a favor… fall off stage agian! thanks!

And like all miserable, flip-flopping hypocritical liars, this man NOW supports Obama.

Lord help the DEMS now.

Write in Hillary Clinton in Nov and rid this country of these sleazy, double-talking politicians.

Bob Dole should marry Geraldine Ferraro, then you can have double crazy.

Bob Barr got kicked out first.

he has shown that he is not trust worthy … i would'nt hire him to wash dishes, let alone read his own version of events ..

Bob dole hit the ol' nail on the head. McClellan's book is very Johnny-come-lately and conspicuosly timed to hit the election year. If he had peoblems such as these he should have stepped down from his elite job and spoken up while the iron was hot.

Bob–isn't the idea that "some of these awful things may have been happening" infinitely more important than McClellan's motives? If you have suspiscions of "awful things", why don't you man up and say what they are?

Truth hurts…

I couldn't disagree more with senator Dole. People like him believe that you go to Washington to work and be forever loyal to a President like Bush. The truth of the matter is that the McClellans of the world do not work for presidents. They work for the American people. That's where their loyalty must lie. Bush doesn't pay anyone's salary at the White House. The American people do. I don't buy this notion about being loyal to a president. A president is just a boss. Country must come first, and I commend McClellan for his revelations.

Bob Dole, another bushbot with almost dead batteries. I wish you bushbots would just fall off of the earth and disappear forever!

Cindy, you shouldn't tattle, because when you tattle on someone else, you're really tattling on yourself….

LOL, this isn't the Brady Bunch – we want the administration of our country 'tattled on" if they're lying to the American people and doing illegal things.

NO BOB, IT'S YOU WHO IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE 'MISERABLE CREATURE'. Every Repub. that tries to put McClennan under b/c of his honesty is exposing themselves. These people (Bush Admin. and all of their cronnies) think they are above the law! This is why Obama is going to win!

Don't sugar-coat it Bob; tell us how you really feel.

Nice, Bob Dole, a man of keen words. I love it. Maybe he should be John McCain's running mate.

Bob Dole, you disapoint me.
I guess we should just let Bush get away with everything.
Just turn our heads away?
And to think I once respected you.

How can people still call themeselves Republicans after this 8 year fiasko.

And even consider voting for McCain?

Are you crazy?

Its just sad.

McClellan was just telling the truth and the truth hurts. End of the story.

OH I DON'T KNOW ABOUT A MISERABLE CREATURE, BUT

MCCLELLAN CAN'T BE MUCH OF A MAN, TO HAVE NOT

TOLD US THIS WHEN HE WAS THERE.

Why are the republican so mad?

Maybe because the truth hurts?

In this three ring circus of an election year, only one candidate has what it takes to lead.

The media has bashed and trashed her. The DNC and the party elites have disrespected and abused her.

The Obama people hatefully attack her. They won't tolerate any comment on race, but continually post denigrating sexist insults about HRC.

Still- with all the viscious attacks- Hillary has a full 50% of the voters needed for a win in Nov.

With all the advantages Obama has been given, this should scare the democrats.

After 35 years of voting democratic, this year I leave the party.

I will write in the name of the true leader- HRC- and Scott's support of Obama only confirms my decision.

Scott is just the typical flip-flopping Obama hypocritical follower.

Well said Senator Dole – A shame the weasel will make lots of $$

well bob, I can see your still stuck on bush… keep your legs tight cause condee is looking for another a hole to climb up in!

I like how Bob Dole has so many opinions on the book without ever planning to read it. There's a solid decision-making process.

Yes Bob Dole, even some Republicans have a conscience.

OMG—EVERYONE wants 15 minutes in this campaign. Is that a dye job?

Great e-mail, Mr. Dole. My thoughts exactly. Shame on McClellan and I am disgusted with him for not standing up like a man when he had his "high profile job".

Man, it must me something in the air! The older generation of politicians are coming out strong this week. Bob and Geraldine…gotta love em!

No, it's not the "liberal anti-Bush press"—it's the anti-Bush America, period!

Democrats United.

He's doing the same thing as he speaks!!!!!

Not surprising at all from a republicain, He didn't read the book,so are you scared to discover what you allready knew, and never tell

There are many of these "miserable creatures".
Richardson, McClellan are good examples of Judas-like behaviour.

Boy this guy stirred up a stink.What about all this name calling?

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit…

I find it funny that the Bush cronies can say everything about Scott Mcclellan EXCEPT that he is lying?????

Stick it in your pie hole, Dole… You're the weakest link…Goo bye!!!

off topic…where the heck has he been hiding?!
On topic…any and everyone still has yet to denounce anythig that has been said in the book. They've onlybeen attacking him personaly, which leaves me to belive that maybe what some of the less known yet still shocking things hold some truth.

L.O.L.

The republicans are shaking in their F—ing boots!!

You guys don't stand a snowballs chance in hell this year!

And here is where the hateful obamaphiles call Bob Dole names and say stuff about him being old, etc, blah, blah, blah…

You kids really need to find a new schtick when going into knee jerk attack mode.

Interesting, if Bob Dole had exhibited such spunk back in '96, I might have voted for him!

It must be scary for you Mr. Dole, the fact that someone in politics could possibly air the dirty laundry of a corrupt administration must have shaken you and all Republican and most Democrats to the core.

If you took your duty and service to your country as a responsibility and a trust handed to you by the public, you would not feel as though you have something to hide. You criticize and then render your opinion baseless by acknowledging you have not and will not read the book.

Somewhere Geraldine Ferraro is looking for you, maybe the 2 of you can run on a AARP ticket.

I think someone *really* struck a nerve within certain DC circles…

OHHHH BURN!

Dang Dole… don't sugar coat it… tell us how you feel.

Pretty much told it like it is… even if the book is complety true (no way to prove since it's his word against nothing)… he was a coward… kept his job… and speaks later to make profit… "miserable creature" both ways!

I hear Hillary is going to write an expose on all the evil things Bill did while in the White House with all her soon to be found, spare time.

In Dole's defense…I can't stand looking at the little bug. He is so pasty.

I have no issues with McClellan exposing the administration if it is the truth, but the fact that he is looking to make money off of it makes me suspicious if it is the whole truth. If he has such a conscience, he is scum for waiting until it was all over before blowing the whistle on it.

I did find it interesting that nothing here says that Dole called him a liar- or maybe CNN just isn't posting that part of the email.

Dear Mr Dole:
Don't YOU feel like an ingrate when you defend an administration whose lies have led to thousands of deaths and injuries?
We all know we were lied to. How can YOU defend such a thing and still sleep at night???

You know, I still don't here the Rethugs challenging McClellan's arguments. They are just calling him names. They know it is all true. I have a feeling that the Republican party will meet the same fate as that of the Federalist Party in the coming years. They have Bush to thank for that.

On the opposite side, Obama is transforming the Democratic Party by bringing in a whole lot of new people into the Democratic party, at the same as kicking to the curb the old heads in the party who can't get with the future program.

Like Hillary, the defections from the Repubs and the Bush administration will become more frequent in the coming months. Bush should look at his friends the Clintons and take note that the same will happen to him.

Oh, I beg to differ! I love it!

OH MY!!!! Well, I think about all the men and women who have lost their lives, not about someone who put us there.

Wow. I can't stand Bush-Cheney, but Ole Dole has a point. I like the fact that they're digging up McClellan slamming Clarke about his book.

I agree. He is preying on liberals and democrats to fund his retirement. He knew that these groups would stumble all over themselves to by a book that is negative about Bush. The odd thing is that it does not present anything new or that was not already known. What a wuss.

YAWN…………McClellan certainly seems to be weak-willed. I agree with Dole about McClellan's lack of courage in speaking out earlier, but now that he has, so what?? It has a nine-minute life cycle as being newsworthy. YAWN.

Is that the champion of Viagra we believe in or is he channeling his inner Geraldine Ferraro?

Everytime I try to post a comment the blog is closed, why?

Anyway hahahaha…A miserable creature…hahahaha

Scott- a little too little honesty, a little too late. Now this hypocritical, two-faced liar is joining the rest of the Obama fanatics. He is is good company.

I'm voting for HRC-

I am gonna tell you something.

The guy has the guts to admit he was wrong and the guts to tell the truth.

The white house and the media are trying to manipulating us to believe that he is the bad guy of the story.

The bad guy of the store is this Bush administration that lied to us to go to a unnecessary war.

This administration has manipulating us and ruined this country.

Its time for the media to recognize this guy, shame on you CNN !!

Life is more abouth the truth than cover up!! You of all people should know better. Sue McClellan if there is no truth!!! JUST sue to proof your point otherwise its all the truth and nothing but the truth so help us GOD!!!

Sounds like a Bush yesmen.

that right do not read the book. It shows how bush and his crew rolls. Just like Mccain. Vote for hope and change Go Obama

Oh you Republicans, are all of you evil?
Well of course you are.

And simple Scotty, why didn't you stand up and said something when you were lying back then, just go away.

I dont think you should talk BOB!

You fell off of a stage while running for president and called the Los Angeles Dodgers the Brooklyn Dodgers even after they left New York 50 years ago.

Its a blessing you or your wife made it no where near the White House.

Hopefully Liddy gets her packing as Senator from North Carolina, even tho she DOES NOT live there, and YOU CAN NOT VOTE THERE.

Makes perfect sense that this lying, flip-flopping hypocrit is now jumping on the Obama bandwagon for negative and divisive change.

Spoken like a washed-up politician with e.d.

Takes one to know one.

And like all other miserable hypocrits, he now backs Obama.

That should help Obama lose in Nov.

Bob Dole is still alive? And relevant?!? That's certainly breaking news to me…

Reasons why Veterans, active duty personell, and anyone who cares about them should not vote for McCain:

*AWOL for May 22nd vote on GI Bill. Expressed opposition to bill saying "it was too generous to Veterans".

*Voted against Bill in September that would have mandated adequate rest for troops between combat deployments.

*Voted No on $1.5-billion increase for Veteran Medical services (money would have come from closing corporate tax loophole).

*Voted No on establishing a trust fund to bolster underfunded Veteran Hospitals.

*Voted No in May 2006 against $20-billion allotment for expanding Veteran Medical Facilities.

*Voted No in April 2006 to increase Veteran Outpatient care.

*Voted No in March 2004 another $1.8-billion reserve for Veteran Medical care (again funded by closing corporate tax loopholes).

Bottomline, McCain is more interested in taking care of big business then the men and women he wrongly sent to fight in Iraq.
