do tell

It's Friday, and I feel I ought to post something, so I'll transfer a comment I made over at Dusty's to here.

So Scott McClellan has written a "scathing" tell-all book.
Oooooo.

Forgive me if I'm less than impressed if yet another rat from the sinking ship uses yet another book of denial to distance himself from the wreck SS BushCo.
So he made some "nasty" accusations, did he? Like what? BushCo used propaganda to advance the war? I'm pretty sure we knew that, though, didnt we. Hmmmm, Scooter Libbey and Turdblossom conspired during Plamegate? Really! What a shock! (NOT). You say the Bush White House was in constant "campaign mode", rather than worrying about real policy? As opposed to who? Congress? Constant campaigning is pretty much SOP in politics, anymore, isnt it?
Hey, Scotty! How about you bring some actual documentation to Congress, the kind of actionable evidence that we can use to nail those bastards. Then I'll be impressed (maybe your copies of the missing White House e-mails - that'd be nice). Anything leading to making impeachment seem imperative would be just peachy.
Sorry folks, but what we've got here is another accomplice trying to make a deal with the DA by ratting out the guys who "planned" the whole thing. Never mind that all those plans would have come to naught, had the "masterminds" had no one to work with.

You know what the saddest part of this tell-all is, though? That even though there's very little new information in it, there is a group of people who only now will say, "gee, maybe the white house is filled with weasels". And with each tell-all, the number of true believers will be whittled down a little more. The sad part is that it takes a tell-all from a co-conspirator in order to make people see the truth, when it's pretty much out there in plain sight. The sadder part is that there are those that still cannot see it.

So far the only administration tell-all that I've had any love for was David Kuo's (disclosure: I havent read it, I just appreciate it's existence).
