Posted at 11:13am on May 31, 2008 McClellan, Mama "Crass", And A Bob Dole B-Slap
By haystack
There's more to the McClellan story than what our purveyors of truth and fairness in the main scream media have told you: his Mama made him do it.
The thrice-married Mrs. Strayhorn has switched from Democrat to Republican to independent during her more than 30 years in politics, which culminated with two terms as Texas comptroller and an unsuccessful run for governor in 2006.
During her second term as comptroller, Mrs. Strayhorn frequently attacked members of her own Republican party, including Gov. Rick Perry and leaders in the legislature.
Many regarded these moves as a tactic to increase her own name recognition and lay the groundwork for her 2006 gubernatorial run.
Hmm...
For the record, I have already suggested that folks like McClellan (who suck at their jobs) might yet find ways to improve their sorry lives by writing books and using them as shivs in the backs of those who stood by them while they sucked at their jobs. But even Monica Lewinsky knew when to keep her mouth shut, and when to open it [do with that what you will].
What McClellan tells us in his book, while juicy and delicious and delectable for those who spend every waking moment looking for reasons to hate President Bush (or be vindicated for already hating him) really doesn't concern me very much. The bigger issue with this latest rumor-mill style of so-called tell-all trash from an inferior and disgruntled employee is in understanding why he did this when he did it. But, before we go below the fold for more details, let's segue with a love letter from Bob Dole...just to set the tone:
No doubt you will 'clean up' as the liberal anti-Bush press will promote your belated concerns with wild enthusiasm. 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"
Funny you should mention that Bob, given that last may be exactly what 'ol Scotty boy has in mind...
More below the "pass the popcorn" fold...

The votes have all been counted and the dust is beginning to settle. And as far as the left is concerned it's time to let the spin begin! As you read your local paper today expect to find stories about an exultant Hillary Clinton, thrilled Hillary supporters and activists and her momentum heading into South Carolina and the casino-caucuses in Nevada. Remember that the Clinton machine is one built upon an almost other-worldly (apologies to Dem hero Denny Kucinich) ability to spin (no, I don't mean like a UFO). But as you read all of that don't jump too quickly over the reports of the final voting tallies.
