Scott on the Rocks
This is the McClellan the White House knew and used all along.

busy for days. Bill
Clinton said he didn’t inhale pot; Bush, pace McClellan, seems
never to have exhaled at “wild parties” long enough to sort out the
evening’s events.
A lot of these Republicans defections are predictable and self-inflicted: a Republican administration, seeking to curry favor with the press, brings in a liberal Republican or semi-conservative Democrat (like Dilulio) and then lo and behold this person finds he objects to that administration and later criticizes it. In this case, the Bush administration’s self-inflicted wound was to hire a stooge who it first manipulated and then released into the world to be manipulated by others. They handed him talking points and he read them to millions; then his new masters handed him talking points and he wrote them up into a bestselling book.
This is the McClellan they knew.
