Shorter Brent Baker of NewsBusters
- The guy who published McClellan’s book is a LIBERAL!!! Who LIKES GEORGE SOROS!!! And MOLLY IVINS!!!! And he even SAID MEAN THINGS ABOUT RUSH LIMBAUGH!!!
‘Shorter’ concept created by Daniel Davies and perfected by Elton Beard.
[Gavin adds: Oh lord, Little Green Footballs has been on this as well. One of Charles's goblins has traced the corporate structure of Public Affairs Books, and the comments are aroil with suggestions that McClellan was an undercover operative the whole time, and that conspiracies lurk everywhere, and wheels-within-wheels, and so forth. They have yet to become aware that a sister company, Basic Books, publishes William F. Buckley, Dinesh D'Souza, and other such luminaries. KERNERS ARE GO!]
As an aside, watching these schmucks go into complete meltdown mode never gets old. Who’s the next ex-loyal Bushie to write a blistering tell-all? Colin Powell? Gonzo? Rummy? Brownie? Harriet Miers? The possibilities are both tantalizing and endless.

For current purposes, “liberal publisher” is defined as “a publisher that expects to make money on a book, rather than subsidising the author”.
Gary Ruppert said,
May 29, 2008 at 12:51
The fact is, you liberals are whining now that you have been exposed. It is true that the MSM is liberal bias.

So… the publisher is a liberal. I notice that nobody is offering any evidence that anything in the book is incorrect, though. It’s easier to attack people than information!
slippy hussein toad said,
May 29, 2008 at 13:30
The publisher is liberal, and in fact the information is liberal. FACTS ARE LIBERAL. THAT IS WHY CONSERVATIVES DO NOT LIKE THEM. I just figured that shit out. Slap me on the forehead like I coulda had a V-8!

The fact is, if anyone tries to impeach Bush, Cheney or charge Rove with anything, it will be bad for America. There will be an emergency that will make it impossible. Also, remember we are still at war with islam and Terrorism, hopefully we will bomb Iran really soon.

The fact is, McClelans book is biased to the far left. Enough is a enough. We need more balanced selections in book stores and in libraries, books that tell both sides of the story and nont one sided Bush- and America- bashing.
El Cid said,
May 29, 2008 at 14:18
The good thing is that this definition of liberal is easy to use because it is something which happens after the events.
Sometimes it is hard to cut everything up into liberal and the True Conservatives, but since this publisher published something which said Bush Jr. and the Iraq invasion were sort of wrong, we know they are liberal.

How many ex-Bushies have published already? Half a dozen, maybe? And their picture of the Administration is remarkably consistent. Liars, Ideologues, bunglers, lying their way into a war.
But the ex-Bushies are all disgruntled, right?

Obviously Brent is suffering from Post Wedgie Traumatic Syndrome, which for most nerds is a nightmare of unimaginable magnitude. By fixing his hate on liberal strawmen, he’s able to exist in society with a reasonable amount of control over his worst demons.
Just thank the good lord his Tri-Lambda brothers were there to pull him through the hard times.

McClellan and Powell were particularly hung out to dry by the Bushies, each given a grand public immolation that pretty much ruined them forever.
Sadly, I can’t think of anyone in the Cheney shop or circle who’s got a similar axe to grind, so I fear McClellan’s pen-knife to the rear thigh is as close as we’ll come to a real stabbed in the back bitchfest. Still, I can hope.
sophie brown said,
May 29, 2008 at 16:35
When conservatives claim they used to be liberal until ________ (fill in some encounter with a black person) it gives them cred.
But when Scotty says he changed his mind, it’s like he was penetrated by aliens or something. Like they’re all just waiting for his gut to rip open to display his sticky alien spawn.

Part of Cheney’s interview process for personal staff was to have them eat a live puppy. Those that passed the test aren’t likely to opt out of loyalty to the cult.

I’d think Colin Powell might be seething with the need to explain how he came to ruin himself and totally destroy what might have been a brilliant political career and every shred of credibility he possessed, in the service of the Shrub. I’d really like to read that book.

Mark “Columbo” Hemingway detects a LIBRUL as evidenced by page 36 of the McClellan book.
Here’s an Example:
I should have more to say about it later when I finish reading it, but I just got my grubby paws on McClellan’s book and this jumped out on page 36:
“”One of my favorite classes at UT was a leadership course taught by Sara Weddington, a longtime friend of Ann Richards who was known for her involvement representing the anonymous “Jane Roe” in Roe v. Wade, the case that made abortion legal across the United States.”
Coming from an allegedly conservative Republican, that’s quite revealing.

The dutiful Tru Beleefers have moved to open threats — impeach the criminals and we will be “emergencied”. If Homeland Security was anything more than a fReichtard scam, they’d have worms like this under 24/7 surveilance…
Also note that the hireling in question does not capitalize the name for an actual religion but *does* capitalize “Terrorism”, which presumably demonstrates where its true devotional tendencies are rooted. What a sorry little excuse for a human being.

I don’t know about any sinister motives that McClellan might have, but his parting comments from this morning’s Today Show disturbed me:
I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Strawberry Pop Tarts on fire in the President’s toaster oven. I watched Rove’s naked ass glitter in the dark near the North Lawn gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to continue the book tour.
