Is this the behavior we should teach our children...Bush "has a way of falling back on the hazy memory to protect himself from potential political embarrassment. In other words, being evasive is not the same as lying in Bush''s mind...

Half the stories that CBS (Communist Broadcast System) is posting are old news published for one purpose. To change the subject from O''''Bama and give the Angry Democrats something else to scream about. How about the story, "Couric Critiques Iraq War Run-Up Coverage". Does anyone really care what Catie Couric says? Even CBS is looking for a way to fire her because of the lowest ratings in network news. Couric, like all Democrats was angry at the report that said IRAN was not being honest about Nuke Weapons. Don%u2019t talk bad about the Democrats friends and partners in Al Qaeda and IRAN. That will sure make Democrats MAD Like all Democrats Couric hates Bush, The War, Capitalism, Christianity, Religion, White People, Rich People The Military, The American Flag and all Republicans. Boy, there is a "Fair and Balanced" place to get a "Critique". But Democrats are liars and cheats so, this is the type of administration we could expect from the liars and cheats being protected. like O''''Bama.

Dana - Thats all you got? Disgruntled?? How lame, how moronic of you. Something better than a stock phrase would be expected of you. Go back to liars 101 taught by Rove, Bush and Chaney.

Ah yes, the old "disgruntled employee" meme. How do they explain the 80% of Americans who think the county is headed in the wrong direction? "Disgruntled citizens", I suppose? Are you safer and better off than you were 8 years ago? Vote for McBush for a third term! Good job, Scotty, better late than never.

Stunned with the tone of the book; stunned that one of their own would go over to the dark side; or stunned that Cheney didn''t have him offed before publication?

First things first. I never voted for Bush. I voted for Gore and later did a protest write-in in 2004. I think Bush has made a lot of mistakes, but then I don%u2019t speak hatefully of him like many liberals. Secondly, I must say Scott McClellan was a terrible press secretary. Anyone who ever saw the guy speak knows what I am talking about. The guy was wrong for the job from the start. When Ari Fleischer retired from the job in 2003, those were big shoes to fill, yet McClellan wasn%u2019t even close. Remember, this is a job for someone who is not only articulate, but for someone who has the President%u2019s positions memorized. McClellan could do neither. Fumbling and stumbling and mumbling, I was shocked the guy lasted 3 months, much less 3 years. I think Bush felt sorry for the guy because he was assumed to be retarded. They must have felt they had fulfilled their mandatory %u201Chire 1 disabled guy%u201D rule, and just checked off that box and stuck with him. Third thing, what is it these days with people writing memoirs? Is all sense of loyalty simply gone? Are all principles dead? Is it only about getting a book out there ASAP and making a buck? If I go back 25 years I don%u2019t recall seeing former employees backstabbing any former Presidents, yet now it seems every few months or so another person looking for some free money comes along. Guess McClellan saw Bush was in office only a few more months, and he had to rush this out to get his handful of dollars. How pathetic.

Why would you think he is playing for Obama?

The have been many, many examples of how the Bush II administration has and continues to lie to the American people.

It is a bit interesting on how fast the GOP Swift Boaters have started chopping McClellan up. Chum!

As they say - "No honor among thieves..."
