Dole Calls McClellan "Miserable Creature"
In an email obtained by Politico, former GOP senator and presidential candidate Bob Dole harshly criticizes former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan for keeping quiet while serving in the Bush Administration only to write a money-making book critical of the administration once he had left.
"There are miserable creatures like you in every administration who don’t have the guts to speak up or quit if there are disagreements with the boss or colleagues," Dole wrote. "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 a scathing critique."
"No doubt you will 'clean up' as the liberal anti-Bush press will promote your belated concerns with wild enthusiasm," Dole added. "When the money starts rolling in you should donate it to a worthy cause, something like, 'Biting The Hand That Fed Me.' Another thought is to weasel your way back into the White House if a Democrat is elected. That would provide a good set up for a second book deal in a few years"
Dole's spokesman confirmed that the email is authentic.
The 1996 Republican nominee wrote that McClellan should have spoken up at the time if he had concerns about the administration, writing that doing so "would have taken integrity and courage."
Concludes Dole: "You’re a hot ticket now but don’t you, deep down, feel like a total ingrate?"

McClellan is just one of the many Whitehouse Staffers, Agency Employees and Military Officers that have already, and will continue to send forth information on the corruption and prevarication of the Bush Whitehouse and the Republican Conservative Party.
Get a rope....

McClellan''s book is very damaging to all Pugs considering the damage it inflicts on them and this includes Dole. It makes me wonder what they are ALL hiding!
McClellan may not be a favorite son with the Bush Administration, but for the public, he has a stellar rating. He is to some degree [we will find out that degree in due time] be complicit, but at least now we have further information supporting the fact that LIES were told reaffirming our BELIEFS or THOUGHTS. Based upon this, I see no viable reason remaining for Congress NOT TO IMPEACH all Bush & Co. [including those present at the onset of the Iraq war] for war crimes of murder not only our 4090 military men and women, our maimed million, the million plus Iraqis, the displaced Iraqis along with looting our country''s treasure.
If Congress [who has the absolute power] were to move expediously, this could occur prior to our new POTUS being elected and Speaker of the House Pelosi would then become our FIRST FEMALE POTUS.
It appears that most Republicans are adamant that this book is mere hogwash to say the least. But I don''t believe it can be dismissed so readily. We must take it and all other lessons learned in history and use it to change this country before we have no country left to change!
It also appears that the media is deliberately downplaying Bush''s complicity trying hard to make Scott their scapegoat. Whether you think Soctt is trying to make a fast buck is irrelevant. The fact is the public "THOUGHT" they were led into war without reason, but now we have an insider reaffirming those very THOUGHTS!
Furthermore, this also reaffirms the fact that the MSM has become nothing more than the very real SPIN MACHINE for the Bush Admin. The MSM has hyped, propogandized and obfuscated ''everything Bush'' for years. We must HOLD THE MSM RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR LACK OF TRUTH AND FACT! These media organizations were not designed to be entertainment and ratings makers, but rather to INFORM the public of important facts related to daily life in all settings. Their lack of truth is NOT ACCEPTABLE - NOT NOW, NOT EVER!
Impeach Bush/Cheney - then try them for TREASON!
It''s is time for the Firing Squad on the White House Lawn to put an end to this - the WORST Presidency in American History!
We got F''d By Oilmen and look at the price of Oil Today - Time to put them to an end! Impeachment/TREASON! It''s the only way to really solve this problem!
What about the crime? Mr Dole has his priorities backwards.
Incidentally the corporate right wing republicon party who is pimped by corporations are guilty of election fraud. Republicons are a threat to democracy around the world.

The Re=CONS ARE A Threat To the Planet !!! A Vast Criminal Sect ! Closet ***,Corporate Greed,Corrupt Beyond The Imagination !
They Have Done SO Much MORE Damage than Any Other Sect in US History !
BAN ALL RE-CONS !!
THUNDERING PULSE BEATS OF THE
GREAT SILVER HAIRED DOLE''S
VIAGRA ON FOR SCOTTY!!!
Let''s be careful passing judjment on the names in his ptentionaly fictional book.
For all who are so disrespectful to Mr. Dole, you should show more respect for a man of integrity. He served our country well. He deserves our respect, regardless of your liberalism.
snowday
So Mr. Viagra speaks, Ok V-Bob, where were you as the lies were being spread, and however you wish to scorn McClellan, why do you noy now denounce the intentional deception of many Americans to start a war?
So did Scott McClellan quit or get fired? Because the White House is trying to claim that he''s bitter because he got fired, but if he didn''t get fired maybe he''s not bitter per se.
Has McClellan been having a hard time finding a job? Or one that''s as high-profile and close to power? I caught that Keith Olbermann interview and Anderson Cooper''s and he seemed like he was looking for social approval (?) by telling us all what we wanted to hear (?) - was he trying to position himself to gain access to the next administration or other high profile position? Bitter Bob''s maybe right about McClellan liking the power and the limelight - not so sure about the $$$
PS lol for all he''s done in his life Bob Dole''s probably going to be remembered most for his erectile dysfunction - talk about greed taking one to a different level :o
If anyone is in need of some fecal-formed-bricks, there are probably plenty of them over at the Whitey House right now.
They seem to be trowing everything they have into discrediting Mr. McClellan.
If this book and Mr. McClellan hold up, I hope that he makes a trillion dollars from it.
We don''t need any more of it.
