Did you need Scott Mclelland to tell you that?

I haven't made a statement either way because I don't care. Mclelland and others like him who come out with these supposed tell alls should be viewed with contempt. It's easy for them to come out now and criticize the Bush administration when the vultures are circling, but where were they when the shit was going down? They were complacent, cozying up to the administration, to scared to ask the needed questions or take them on. That includes the Democrats and the MSM too. It's to easy now for him to come out and say, "Well, I knew all along that mistakes were beeing made." when he was party to the whole thing. It's disingenuous, pathetic and reeks of opportunism.

It's almost as though they've forgotten how. I must have heard a dozen or so of the usual mouthpieces, including Rove, none of whom actually provided a substantive contradiction of McLellan's narrative - they all simply piled on insults, as nastyboy is doing.
