I believe I speak for most Conservatives when I say I wasn't overly impressed (to put it kindly) with Scott McClellan's performance as White House Press Secretary. I couldn't fathom how he had landed that job, more less being able to remain for three years. He was obviously well connected with the Texas Republicans working with and for President Bush. As a Press Secretary, Mr. McClellan always gave the impression of being a boy sent to do a man's job, and to borrow a cliche always seemed to have that "deer in the headlights" look. The President was ill-served by Mr. McClellan, and should have fired him long before he did. I can't think of any Conservative who was upset when he was replaced by Tony Snow.
Not only does Mr. McClellan continue to embarrass the administration, he has resorted to good old fashioned back stabbing. The allegations that have been reported, are nothing but rehashes of the old "Bush lied" and "Cheney and Rove are scoundrals" arguments forever regurgitated by the Daily Kos, Howard Dean, Keith Olbermann, and the far left as a whole. I am sure Mr. McClellan will sell many books, and make a boatload of money on this endeavor. I also doubt he will have much of a future in politics, unless he goes to work for David Brock at Mediamatters.com.
