Yup, thats the one they are going to run with...for now (And now a prediction)
In response to Scott McClellan’s scathing new memoir criticizing the Bush administration’s deception, current and former White House officials have blanketed the media to bash the former press secretary. They have called him a “traitor†and dismissed him as “disgruntled.â€
Fox News and its guests, however, have put the blame on McClellan’s publisher. According to this new Fox News meme, McClellan isn’t responsible for the revelations in the book because his publisher made him do it:
Brad Blakeman, former White House staffer: “A publisher got to him and he waved a lot of money, I’m sure, in front of him and he took the bait and that is just unfortunate.â€
Trent Duffy, former White House deputy press secretary: “It’s like the just turned over the pen to a publisher and signed his name at the bottom and got a big fat book contract.â€
Bill O’Reilly: “McClellan is in it for the bucks, keeping in mind his publisher also distributes books by George Soros and other far left people.â€
Ari Fleischer, former White House press secretary: “And I talked to Scott yesterday and Scott did tell me, that his editor, this is Scott’s words, ‘tweaked some things closely in the last few months.’ And I think what did happen, Bill, was the book was pretty much done and set and Scott went back in, and I think his editor wrote a lot of it.â€
Newt Gingrich, former House speaker: “Here is this guy who want to sell books. He’s cut his ties to the administration and his publisher says, ‘Now look, you can spice it up a little bit.’â€
Steve Doocy: “Apparently the publisher did some tweaking. How much? That’s a really good question.â€

Michael Reagan:
It's amazing what some people will do for 30 pieces of silver.
(hmmmm sounds familiar) :
Sdai tried the same line and fumbled it
.....
His lack of competence is what cost him the job, and it is now obvious that he left the White House burning with resentment over his forced departure. The fact that he had held the job as long as he did obviously created no sense of gratitude for his having been given the post to begin with.
I predict that we will see 'former close associates' of McClellan that felt the need to come forward all over the media shows and tell how McClellan left the white house bitter and disgruntled- they will say that they are friends of McClellan but felt forced to come forward 'as a matter of concience'....
Watch for some here to parrot THE STORY verbatim.
