Critical passages towards President Bush by former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan were released last night in McClellan's upcoming tell all book.
Anyone who has followed even remotely closely how the Bush Administration has operated over the past seven plus years should not be shocked by any of these revelations.
Deception, peddling pro war propaganda, manipulating a complicit media, Bush immersed in a bubble, Rove/Libby conspiring to obstruct justice, etc.
I have said this many times over the past few years but expect several more critical books from these Bush cronies to come out in the future as they attempt to recover some of their credibility and cash in financially.
I did find the following information about GW Bush and cocaine very striking. Bush seemed to use part of the "The Rules of Cheating" from the movie Road Trip as his excuse to forget about ripping some blow in his party days.
Here is the famous movie line: Exactly. Or if, uh, you're too wasted to remember- it is not cheating. Because if you can't really remember it, it never really took place.
Check out the clip:
Here is the part where Bush applies one of the rules of cheating towards his cocaine use.
McClellan tracks Bush's penchant for self-deception back to an overheard incident on the campaign trail in 1999 when the then-governor was dogged by reports of possible cocaine use in his younger days.
The book recounts an evening in a hotel suite "somewhere in the Midwest." Bush was on the phone with a supporter and motioned for McClellan to have a seat.
"'The media won't let go of these ridiculous cocaine rumors,' I heard Bush say. 'You know, the truth is I honestly don't remember whether I tried it or not. We had some pretty wild parties back in the day, and I just don't remember.'"
"I remember thinking to myself, How can that be?" McClellan wrote. "How can someone simply not remember whether or not they used an illegal substance like cocaine? It didn't make a lot of sense."
Bush, according to McClellan, "isn't the kind of person to flat-out lie."
"So I think he meant what he said in that conversation about cocaine. It's the first time when I felt I was witnessing Bush convincing himself to believe something that probably was not true, and that, deep down, he knew was not true," McClellan wrote. "And his reason for doing so is fairly obvious -- political convenience."[.]
Seann William Scott will always be Stiffler, no matter if his character was E.L. in Road Trip, and I am compelled to post this other great vid from the flick.
