Media machine cranks up

The Beagle always finds it amusing when GOSPers say with distain, "Oh they are just working from talking points."
One can save a lot of time wasted on watching CNN, MSNBC, FauxNews, etc., by just going straight to the talking points, since every defender of the Whitewashed House -- whether they get their power ties at Brooks Brothers, Nordstroms, or Hechts -- has been saying the same thing:
  • Scott McClellan was just a junior officer who didn't have any access to the real, important discussions that were going on.
  • Scott McClellan has no right to say anything now that he didn't say to George Weiner Butch or Ari Fleischer at the time.
  • This isn't the Scott McClellan we knew.

According to a certain newspaper, some of these points were dusted off from things that Scotty said when he was at the podium, towit, "Why, all of a sudden, if he [Richard Clark] had all these grave concerns, did he not raise these sooner?" McClellan said. "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."

The unkindest cut of all came from former pal Trent Duffy, who said, "Tomorrow maybe we're going to learn he's rooting for the Oklahoma Sooners."

Seriously, people, what kind of dog would do that?
