Lord, does George Neumayr ever hit the
nail on the head with his column on Scott McClellan this
morning:
Suddenly a flack the press
considered a buffoon a few years has become in their eyes a major
thinker, whose words deserve magisterial treatment. From David
Stockman to John Dilulio to Scott McClellan, nothing excites the
press more than a "Republican" critical of an old boss, provided
the defector shows a willingness to fortify the media's prejudices.
Had McClellan written in the book of his disappointment with Bush's
sham conservatism, the book would sink without a trace.
