–Credibility Alert–

Here’s how Scott McClellan trashed Richard Clarke’s tell-all book during a March 2004 press conference:

“Well, why, all of a sudden, if he had all these grave concerns, did he not raise these sooner? This is one-and-a-half years after he left the administration. And now, all of a sudden, he’s raising these grave concerns that he claims he had. And I think you have to look at some of the facts. One, he is bringing this up in the heat of a presidential campaign. He has written a book and he certainly wants to go out there and promote that book. Certainly let’s look at the politics of it.”

Gee, sounds like some good points. Scott, if things were so bad, why didn’t you resign from the evil BushCo/Cheney/Enron/ Halliburton/Blackwater cabal sooner?? Would it have hurt your book revenues?
