BUSHIE BACKSTABBER

I have long admired President Bush for the courage of his convictions. Because he didn't cut and run we have won a great victory in Iraq, one that will pay enormous dividends the next few years.

But the Bush years were far less successful than they should have been largely because of the mediocre people Bush brought with him. Among the worst was Scott McClellan, a guy with no work experience save helping his kooky mom, before becoming a deputy to Karen Hughes. McClellan was so bad as press secretary he joined Paul O'Neill and good'ol Brownie from FEMA as one of the few Bushies who actually got fired.

Now he has his revenge, putting his name to a fake memoir a lefty publisher ghost-wrote for him. What a shame, there must be some better way of finding qualified, effective people in the administration when the GOP has the White House. Far from the best and brightest, we get too many of the dorks and dullards.
