This will be among the first to show George III in all of his glorious lies and deceit towards the American people. More to follow from his former employees.

Who cares??
I would say that it could be valuable for the people who still do not understand how dishonest Bush was on selling the war among other things. It seems to me that everyone should care.
There were a lot of us that knew what was going on from the start, but no one would listen and the media did everything they could to discredit and minimize us.

Geez, he is leaving office soon. Why read something you already know?
Not only that, the man that wrote the book, ( the snitch) is done in politics. No one will ever confide or have him in their inner circle again.
Even cops don't like their own snitches.
I guess I don't care for any book wrote about people like this. I had so many in my area of the book store that some times we put them on sale for 1.00.

The only thing keeping the Liberals going is their HATE for George W. Bush.
Way cool. Their hate for George will lead them to that place where they will have lost another Presidential election.
Its the PRESENT, that matters.

OK, but will this revelation assist in the prosecution of said politicians for treason, crimes against humanity and nature?
If not then it's just hype.

I'm sure there are no Startling Revelations,
it's still interesting to have an inside perspective...
( Albeit from a puppet )
it elevates the subject matter from the realm of Conspiracy "Theory",
to actual Conspiracy...
I realize 20%-30% of the people don't want to hear it,
(close your eyes, put your hands over your ears, and chant La-la-la-lalala)...
for those of you who think the past is irrelevant,
try Composing your Resume using only the words,
"Its the PRESENT, that matters".
and see where that gets ya...
those with a Nefarious Past,
Will always try to claim the past is irrelevant...

http://www.politico.com/blogs/jonathanmartin/0508/Bob_Dole_unloads_on_McClellan.html
What Bob Dole had to say! Wow, and I thought I said some things huh?
"There are miserable creatures like you in every administration who don’t have the guts to speak up or quit if there are disagreements with the boss or colleagues," Dole wrote in a message sent yesterday morning. "No, your type soaks up the benefits of power, revels in the limelight for years, then quits, and spurred on by greed, cashes in with a scathing critique."
"In my nearly 36 years of public service I've known of a few like you," Dole writes, recounting his years representing Kansas in the House and Senate. "No doubt you will 'clean up' as the liberal anti-Bush press will promote your belated concerns with wild enthusiasm. When the money starts rolling in you should donate it to a worthy cause, something like, 'Biting The Hand That Fed Me.' Another thought is to weasel your way back into the White House if a Democrat is elected. That would provide a good set up for a second book deal in a few years"
Dole assures McClellan that he won't read the book -- "because if all these awful things were happening, and perhaps some may have been, you should have spoken up publicly like a man, or quit your cushy, high profile job"
"That would have taken integrity and courage but then you would have had credibility and your complaints could have been aired objectively," Dole concludes. "You’re a hot ticket now but don’t you, deep down, feel like a total ingrate?"
He signs the email simply: "BOB DOLE"

he had an agenda.... 
asked Bob Dole spokesman Michael Marshall why the former senator felt compelled to speak out against Scott McClellan.
Dole himself explains in an email sent over by Marshall:
"It's just not right but it happens in nearly every administration. It sort of happened to me in a very small way when a low level employee in my Senate office left and published a book in 1995 titled 'Senator for Sale.' He claimed to be a close confidant, etc. The book bombed because neither he nor his rambles had any credibility with the media or the public.
Bottom line is that I have little respect for turncoats like McClellan who have it both ways. Some in public (and private) life have no shame when big bucks are involved. If their motive is 'good government,' O.K. but that's rarely the case."
The book Dole refers to was penned by one Stanley G. Hilton in 1995, right as Dole was gearing up for his third and final White House run. Hilton had been an aide to Dole between 1979-1980.
It was described in Publisher's Weekly as "so vitriolic that it will shock even Dole's foes."
In other words, a hatchet job.
 Dole assures McClellan that he won't read the book -- 
so.. he will take the media's word on what it says...

Nice try, Bob, but it looks like the Scott's book has opened a hornets nest.
House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers has announced that his committee will reopen hearings on the Valerie Plame case, because of some of the revelations in the book. It may be that old Scooter Libby may have obstructed a bit more than he was originally convicted of and if that is true his case could be reopened and additional charges levied.

It's called checks and balances. Unfortunately for the Bush Administration, Congress is now doing its job. It is the job the the legislative branch to provide oversight, a job that the Republican-controlled Congress failed miserably at for the past seven years. If the Congress had been doing their jobs, had showed some measure of healthy skepticism, we might never have waged the war in Iraq as we have.

The biggest revelation from the latest tell-all insider book from the Press Secretary's perspective, is that George W. Bush believed in his own hype.
Color that as sincerity from the perspective of the president.

Are you actually saying that he should NOT be held accountable even for lying to get us into a war where tens of thousands of people have been killed?

yep sort of reminds me of the murder that got caught and was sentenced to death... well dammmm guess what he gets religion all the sudden after all these years and ask for forgiveness for his murdering and sinful ways and ask God to forgive him and spare his life because he promises to be a good upstanding citizen if he can just see his way for him to live and get out of prison... yep and on top of that it was the devil that made him do it too.... Yep he promises to forsake he devil the next time he talks to him ….
Boy I feel better now that he’s changed his evil ways, don’t you???
