Now We're Going To Have To Read Scott McClellan's Book
 Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

Anyone who's seen Frontline's documentary "Bush's War" (I know, I know, we still need to review Part 2 of that!) wouldn't be very surprised by this book. However, that doesn't make it any less of a must-read! Scott McClellan, a former White House press secretary under the President George W. Bush administration, has released a memoir, in which he reveals that the American public was manipulated by political propaganda leading up to the invasion of Iraq.

The memoir is called "What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington's Culture of Deception" (available for just $15.37 & up on Amazon).  Many considered McClellan to be a loyal friend to President Bush, but with this new book, that's hardly a possibility any longer. The book blames the media for not fully examining and relaying the administration's reasoning for the Iraq War; it also accuses Bush of being strict with the administration about what "script" could and couldn't be given to the public for selling the War.

White House spokeswoman Dana Perino released a statement today, saying, "Scott, we now know, is disgruntled about his experience at the White House. Those of us who fully supported him - before, during, and after he was press secretary - we are puzzled. It is sad; this is not the Scott we knew."

Last time we checked, gaining a conscience wasn't "sad"--and we're so buying the book!

As if we didn't have enough to read...we're still working on Ron Paul's first book, and have his latest one waiting in the wings...
