Alternate title: File Under "D" for DUH...
Okay, so Scott McClellan cashed in on his three years as White House spokesperson in the Bush administration. That's his perogative.
Allegedly his book is full of salacious details about who lied to who, who set who up, etc. Again, his perogative. If it happened, he's got every right to make his fistful of dollars telling his side.
What's stupid, though, is the media reporting this as though it were some sort of bombshell revelation. Gee, a former administration official writes a book that's less-than-complimentary about George Bush, a president only slightly less popular than anal warts (although more popular than the Democratically-controlled Congress, but I digress...).
How, praytell, is this news? Did they expect his book to contain nothing but sunshine and rainbows? Yeah, that'd make it past an editor's desk. Not...
That is all.

Eh, every person on the right knows that the act of criticizing Republicans/conservatives in any fashion will make you a media darling. When people say things that you agree with, it strokes your own self-worth ("see, I must be right about them!"). Since most media types (as in, almost all) are kossack-like lefties, that sort of thing will pique their interests.
All for the sake of 'news', you see.
I don't think anybody ever took McClellan seriously did they? Wasn't he pretty much a clown from day one?
God knows he does not have to write a book to inform the country that the nation is being run by lunatics from the asylum.
For sure that ain't 'news'
