Fox and Friends’ Carlson warns McClellan: He ‘better not have any skeletons in his closet.’

This morning, Fox and Friends discussed former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan’s tell-all book above a chyron reading “Lack of Credibility.” Co-host Gretchen Carlson warned that McClellan’s “skeletons” would be exposed now that he has “betrayed” the president:

CARLSON: Scott McClellan better not have any skeletons in his closet. I hope he didn’t do anything that he doesn’t want the world to know about because we all have, and all of his secrets are going to be coming out.

Appearing on Fox’s Hannity and Colmes last night, conservative strategist Mary Matalin said, “To quote my husband recently, this is Judas on steroids.”

1. BREAKING: A search of McClellan's White House computer has turned up child pornography....

His arrest is imminent.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

2. Of all the reactions to McClellen, THIS distills the repub mindset down to its essence.

Loyalty to the 'cause' trumps all.

[bluedeminredstate]

3. Isn't that charming!

I suppose they'll out him now. Whatever. Not like that was a big secret.

Didn't Carlson used to be a beauty pageant queen? Seriously, am I remembering that right?

[Mike Daniels]

13. Yep, 1989 Miss America

Just another in the long parade of blonde bimbos that FOX dresses up in thigh high skirts and plunging necklines to be the female face on FOX and Friends.

I'm convinced that F&F was a deliberate "goof" on the part of Murdoch to see just how low one could lower the standards of journalism and still have people turn in to watch.

[havocmom]

4. What could possibly be worse than his role in selling the war in Iraq?

What could be worse than his role in selling the deaths of our troops and all the innocent Iraqis to provide profit for some corporate patrons of cheney's?

Don't feign ignorance, Scotty. WE knew it was all a lie and what would happen. You had more info than we did.

[blondeatlast]

5. That sounds like a threat, really. Rove to Ailes to the Fox Cheerleaders.

Frankly, I don't care if McClellan is a serial criminal--we know he's rocked the Administration to its foundation.

[Stagecoach]

6. And I'll guarantee

Fox has their interns busy scouring for any skeletons they can find. And "Lack of Credibility"....talk about being impartial....not!

[Gidney N Cloyd]

8. But they have to stick to skeletons whose bones aren't intertwined with

the ones in other thug closets.

[gatorboy]

7. He does. He was a Republican.

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

9. Carlson should STFU - I am sure Scottie knows all about

Guckert/Gannon and I for one, would love to know what a prostitute was doing in the white house all those nights.

[navarth]

17. Oh man, that would be something

If Scotty was having dalliances with Gannon/Guckert, BRING IT OUT! Would that not be awesome.

[TwilightGardener]

10. Public threats of revenge, from a media outlet, on behalf of the administration?

What has this country become?

[Bleacher Creature]

21. That about sums it all up. Scary.

[Rainbowreflect]

28. My thoughts as well.

It is one thing to spin for this administration, but to become their enforcers is another.

[LynnTheDem]

11. Attack the messenger, coz speaking the TRUTH is so un-American.

Will the rightwingnuts spend any time debating the facts of what McClellen said? Of course not! Why waste their wee minds on that when they can just carry on attacking the messenger!

Grade school at its finest. :eyes:

[Richard Steele]

12. I'm not buying it for a second. This is all some pre-scripted ploy. nm

[opihimoimoi]

14. The PUBs Reaction :: always to KILL/DIMINISH the Messenger...

Like the Bullies they are...they cannot stand EXPOSURE

Scotty has DISROBED them Pubs from the cover of DECIET and BS

[Stagecoach]

15. Has this book actually come out yet?

They're probably trying to use a threat to cause the publisher to change their minds about releasing it. In other words, "If you want to protect Scotty's reputation, you'd better not release this book!" Fair and balanced....pfft! Funny how they don't look at it from Scotty's point of view, if they're so fair and balanced.

[blondeatlast]

18. It doesn't matter. The book is in print a few days/weeks before release date (5/28/08)

and distributors and the mega-bookstores would vigorously fight any recall.

It's been done but it's EXTREMELY rare (the OJ Simpson fiction book is the only one I can recall in recent memory) and that was a already a very odd case.

(I used to work in the book biz as both a retailer and librarian.)

[nxylas]

16. "What have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully?"

[Johonny]

19. sounds like what he said was true

or else why threaten

[peace13]

20. My guess is that Scott still holds the Jeffy Gannon Gukert card close.

He's got pictures. I'm sure of that. Scottie, I know that you knew what this war was about, we all did. This book does not vindicate you. That said, be safe.

[Virginia Dare]

22. What have you been doing that you don't want the world to know about Gretch?

what could be worse than shilling Bushco lies?

[Individualist]

23. Mary Matalin's husband quote, "...Judas on steroids"

For those who may not know, Matalin's husband is the DLC asshole, James Carville.

[stubtoe]

24. Oooh, a threat! Faux has been coming up with an increasing number of these lately.

Threats and rage. That's how sociopaths respond to truth when it's so in their face, that they can't deny it.

[L0oniX]

25. When you out the media they all attack back to distract from their incompetence.

[ProfessorGAC]

26. Boy, These Folks So Fear The Truth

They're going to get even for someone telling the truth. Yeah, just like the mafia.

27. Fox and Friends=Hitler summer camp.
