I'm Starting To Feel Sorry For Scott McClellan

You know they make him say this crap. They must be laughing behind his back as he makes an ass out of himself at every press conference.

Soon, they'll be making him to that Chubby dance that the fat kid did in "Goonies". Anyone remember what that dance was called?

I fight that very same instinct.

I would hate to be in that position, having to defend the indefensible.

But I would quit, and so should he.

I hope they make him do that dance.

4. Don't feel sorry for him. Like some creature from The Dark Crystal, he...

...lies for his Skeksis masters so that he may one day rise higher in their odious ranks.

25. I just laugh thinking about him sitting

in the corner of a padded room, muttering to himself with a couple of fingers dangling from his lips as he swats at imaginary insects fluttering about his sweaty head.

6. He works for US

I think that members of the administration forget that. I don't think there is anything like attorney-client privilege here. We do not pay this guy to lie.

7. If he had any integrity (and balls)

he would quit his job. By hanging with the * WH he asks for what he gets.

8. I mentioned something like that in another thread.

I don't feel sorry for him but part of me does have to fight it. It's human empathy. He's made into a complete fool on national TV day after day. But as said above, that flea chose his dog. He pretty much sold his soul.

9. Chubby fat kid is

Chunk. Scotty lies just like Chunk now that I think about it. "Ok Mikey Michael Jackson did not use my restroom but his sister did"

I also feel a little sorry for Scotty but He chooses to stay so ok

12. Hey Snotty McLiar!!

You're fired. What a loser. I do not feel sorry for him one bit. If you lie down with pigs, you will get up smelling like one.

14. FUCK Scott McClellan. FUCK him to HELL.

Anytime he wants out, he can leave. Anytime he wants to clear his conscience, he can walk out the damned door and never come back. He is doing what he wants to do, more or less.

All he has to do is balance the perceived benefits (prestige, monetary remuneration, some semblance or power) against the bad (he works for criminals, he's made to lie, he has squandered whatever good name he ever had). He's made his choice, and he is on the side of the fucking scumbag criminals.

FUCK feeling sorry for that bastard.

15. He could resign.

But I guess he doesn't feel compelled to spend more time w/his family right now.

16. I guess I would feel sorry if he didn't get paid or was forced to work

there. Sometimes when you sell your soul, you lose in the end.

Georgie deserves all the crap he gets.

P.S. Hope I used "obfuscate" properly. It's my first day with a new word.

24. He's a six-figure Bush whore, and not even a good one as

he doesn't appear capable of convincing his own mother while she's under drugs and hypnosis. Well, okay, maybe he can convince Carol Keeton McClelland Rylander Strayhorn (his mommy). But not anyone else.

I'm not going to feel sorry for anyone making that much money for reading and reciting lame talking points.
