White House had a copy of McClellan's book 1 month in advance!!!

[hokies4ever]

Just reported on MSNBC. They even said that McClellan had met with some top White House officials on May 2nd to discuss it. No wonder all of their answers were synchronized. Also, how could they be 'shocked' and 'puzzled' if they knew about it a month in advance? Our nation is being run by a bunch of idiots! :rofl:

1. Not a Thesaurus in the house!

[TheDebbieDee]

24. Why should there be a thesaurus in the White House?

Apparently, no one there knows how to read that either! }(

[eleny]

27. They're do-o-o-o-med!

[tridim]

2. "We're puzzled" is the best they could come up with with a month of prep.

Really lame.

This also means everything in the book is true, or at least true enough that the WH can't refute it.

[Bozita]

11. 2nd most common GOP response is ... "disgruntled"

Here's hoping Scottie's skin is super thick.

[hokies4ever]

13. Much thicker than Bill Orally's skin

He just about blew a gasket last night.

We'll do it live! :rofl:

[hokies4ever]

12. They're attacking Scott and not the book material

Great observation. One month of preparation and this is their pathetic defense.

[Skink]

3. someone should ask how much was taken out of the book.

[hokies4ever]

6. MSNBC reported

that no changes were made because of the May 2nd meeting with the White House.

8. Bwahahahaha!

:evilgrin:

4. They were vetting it for months if not years before publication...

...the outrage is all manufactured.

[Warpy]

20. Of course it was, which I pointed out the night the first salvo

of quotes was released. They had to approve the contents before it went to the publisher and approve them again once the book was due for release.

They've been coming up with responses in front of focus groups for many months. This is all the stuff the focus groups of dumb people responded to, and it's why they're all using exactly the same words. This is an advertising campaign, developed and run exactly the same as any car ad.

It's also why the book only confirms that this gang are the kind of jerks we already knew they were without offering much else.

They knew this was going to be a smear book, but they probably were able to delete anything potentially incriminating before it went to press.

[cynatnite]

5. The book had to be vetted so I'd bet they've known for months it was coming...

Although they might not have known that Scott would hang them out to dry as he did. :evilgrin:

[ij9800]

7. Yes, we should understand that this is all part of some scam...

If this book was really what it seems, McClellan wouldn't have lived to write it.. just saying...

[hokies4ever]

10. The damage was done by the time they found out

You can't suicide someone when the publisher already has a copy of the book. It's too obvious.

[DS1]

19. Tell that to this guy

9. THEY DIDN'T BOTHER. Hello? They don't read the PDB's either.

[RufusTFirefly]

14. Condi read the book, but she thought it was "historical"

We're shocked. And stunned.

[elehhhhna]

15. lol No one could have possibly imagined he would PUBLISH the book.

[wiggs]

16. They probably were relieved that the really bad stuff isn't in there. nt

[WilliamPitt]

17. It was a book.

Nobody read it. Duh.

[stray cat]

18. Not enough pictures and to many pages - they should have made a video of the highlights

like they had to do to get Bush to notice Katrina 4 days after it hit.

[guitar man]

21. I really don't think

they care any more. Junior and company are on the way out the door and anybody with at least half a brain knows by now that Iraq is a sham. There's really nothing left for him to damage by publishing the book now...

[hokies4ever]

23. Some upcoming war crimes might be in their future

[guitar man]

26. I hope so

but honestly, I'm not holding my breath in anticipation of any forthcoming prosecution. I think they are just going to slither back under the rock they crawled out from....:(

[niyad]

22. but, according to bartlett (or one of the other idiots) this sounded like a left-wing blog

so scottie couldn't have written it, and nobody is supposed to believe it.

[hokies4ever]

28. If their best attack is

left-wing blogger, they're in for a rough next couple of months. Everybody knows that Bush is debating whether or not to attack Iran this summer or fall. If he does do it, his approval rating might dip into the negative percentages. :rofl:
