In what will undoubtedly be the “tell all” book of the decade, Scott McClellan, former White House Press Secretary, has written a scathing memoir of the Bush Presidency. The book is titled “What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington’s Culture of Deception” and is far from a love letter to Bush and his staff.
According to Politico.com, who obtained a copy of the book this week McClellan says President Bush “veered terribly off course,” and was not “open and forthright on Iraq,” and took a “permanent campaign approach” to governing at the expense of candor and competence.
McClellan doesn’t stop at the Iraq war, he details a secret meeting between two top aids to “get their story straight” about the CIA leak scandal as well as pointing a finger at Karl Rove and Scooter Libby in the disinformation campaign around Valerie Plame.
The Washington Post quotes McClellan as describing Dick Cheney as "the magic man" who manipulated things from behind the scenes while leaving no fingerprints of his work. Now that's something many Americans have long suspected!
Sounds like a must read for the summer.
