re: gallows humor
The McClellan phenomenon is fascinating. It's amazing how large an inverted pyramid of liberals and leftists can be balanced on something like the memoirs of a former press secretary.
Have you even read the book?
How about the one by Feith, which for some mysterious reason, got about a tenth of the media trumpeting that McClellan has gotten?
I would still vote for Bush again over the alternatives I was presented at the time. Neither Gore nor Kerry has impressed me any more favorably since the elections.
