Dear Scott McClellan,

Does the phrase "a day late and a dollar short" mean anything to you?  You spent two and a half years as George W. Bush's official spokesman, but now, now you want share with the world that you feel the White House used "propaganda" instead of "candor"?  Wasn't that your job, you asshat?  To pass off propaganda as truth? 

Everything that you swore for years was true, now you're telling us it was the result of Bush being "ill-served" by his advisers?  So, what?  Bush gets a pass?  He's not responsible for parsing truth from falsehood?  That's not the president's job anymore?  Wasn't that what his excuse for being an ignorant fuck--that he was going to have a bunch of great advisers to make up for his stupidity?

As for you, do you think this is going to earn you points with anyone?  Now, when it doesn't matter, when nothing you say or do is going to pull America out this spiral of debt and war, you're going to tell us, "Oopsie, some of those things I said weren't really true"?  Are you worried that there might some day be a tribunal to investigate the crimes of George Bush and you hope that this book will absolve you of any responsibility for your role in those crimes?

If the White House is "puzzled" by your tell-all book, color me utterly fucking perplexed.  What's the point of telling everything now?  We've already figured it out.

With contempt,
