FrankRyan--barely an opinion. None memorable.
ChinoCoug is all over the place. I don't understand half of what he says (by choice, because it is too tiring). DetroitDad, well, I have stopped paying any attention to him, and vice versa, as he is either careless or no good. If that's all there is, well, that is sad. |

Ironically, I do as well. There's no easy way for McClellan to come out of this looking good.

Um, he should have said something to the press?
Where were all the leaks coming from that had Bush so upset? What would it mean, if he had resigned? Oh wait, he did resign. What if he had resigned earlier? What if he had been the only high-up guy in the Bush admin to criticize Bush after resignation. Oh wait, there were others. etc, etc. The truth was frickin obvious the entire time, that we had a bunch of clowns in there. It's no shock to find out that they were incompetent. The shock is that Bush's friend is telling the truth. McClellan could have at least had the decency to bow out with malignant cancer and keep his mouth shut. |

I did find this gem of a quote from Bush when McClellan resigned: Mr. Bush, during his remarks, at one point put a hand on Mr. McClellan's shoulder. "One of these day he and I are going to be rocking on chairs in Texas, talking about the good old days and his time as press secretary," the president said. "And I can assure you I will feel the same way then that I feel now, that I can say to Scott, job well done." Bush needs to stop looking into people's eyes to see their soul. He never seems to get it right. Either that or he needs to take this guy's advice: |

As for Bush, the jury will be out on him for a while, regardless of what the leftist nuts think. My guess is, he'll join the list of forgettable presidents, but I don't believe history will be as hard on him as his harshest contemporary critics. It rarely is. And he doesn't hold a candle to Carter's incompetency.

McClellan's motives are likely not pure, but that doesn't mean his statements aren't factual either. His statements are worth carefully scrutinizing. If they appear true after that analysis, Bush is in deep trouble. |
