I was going to catch on that tonight, as well. I only heard a short blurb last night & this morning. Not enough to comment about it, yet.

All kinds of stuff on about it. Karl Rove denying everything on Fox last night (not that I watched). Dana Perino (?) saying now they know he was disgruntled. Nice change of pace from the election.

Yes, I gathered from Karl's comments last night that McClellan is very disgruntled!

And oops -for all those post-correcters out there, my previous post should have been: "I was going to catch up on that tonight, as well."

"I think" is pansy speak. Have you ever taken a communication course? "I think" or "in my opinion" is something I was taught not to use. Obviously I think that, or I wouldn't say it. If I post a link to document, that would imply it is a documented fact.

As far as the truth: you claimed it was true. I see two blatant lies, which you call errors, and an ambiguous claim. You said that other than the lies, the rest is true. That means you are saying that the ambiguous claim is true. Can you prove that, or are you talking out your ass?

Like the guy in the video says... who knows? Personally I agree with what Dornan said.

I heard Karl on the radio this morning. He wasn't denying anything, but he did talk about the holes in the stories.

Of course he was disgruntled - he was fired. He also knows that the best way to sell books is to pander to the crowd who will buy the book. He's doing that.

I see him as being rather hypocritical. If it was as bad as he claims, he should have had the courage to quit then. Coming out now just looks like sour grapes to me.

That's why I asked you to post a link to where you got the story that the whole story was fabricated. I don't know whether the story is true or false. I know he got the name of the camp wong, but as far as I know the rest of the story is true unless someone shows me otherwise. I thought you had proof that it is a false story, but alas it was just your sphincter doing the talking.

We've been saying he got the camp wrong and said uncle instead of great uncle (by the way, I never called my Great Uncles "Great Uncles", they were always just Uncle, so I can see where he goofed that up).

You mean like your speculation about McCain?

A couple of weeks ago I made a decision and because of that decision I get this message. "This message is hidden because Bruzilla is on your ignore list."

It works great . I highly reccommend it.

Yes, I thnk so, too. I didn't get to watch everything I wanted to tonight. It was grand central station this afternoon/evening with a bunch of stuff going on that kept me from watching all of the shows Karl was on, so I only got snippets here & there.

BUT - I read this article tonight - found it on Lucianne.com (my homepage).

American Thinker Blog: Scott McClellan's payback

It's being talked about on a couple of threads on the Free Republic website, too. This story definitely makes sense, because nearly every person talking about him say this is not the Scott McClellan they knew.
