McClellan drops the Hammer

I am going to read the new book about the Bush adminstration by Scott McClellan, Bush's former Press Secretary. Whether one believes McClellan is telling the truth or not, it certainly raises questions about our government. Whether or not McClellan exaggerates at all shouldn't really matter, because he is exposing the corrupt culture in Washington. Anyone that is willing to take the blinders off will realize quickly that the government runs its own show, doing what it wants to regardless of how the public feels, and doing whatever is best for the elite and powerful. It didn't take this book to reveal that truth, but the fact that McClellan and Bush have been close for so long makes this book more interesting, and it also gives the book lots of publicity--it creates lots of discussion about Bush's dishonesty and about Washington's dishonesty. I place blame on the media and Congress as well because they didn't raise enough of ruckus before we went to war and if they had, we might not have invaded Iraq. Bush--and every other modern President--relies on the media to sell his agenda, so if the media had done its job before the war, not after, it would have been extremely difficult to convince the public that Iraq should be invaded. I believe that McClellans book is probably pretty accurate and that it serves as another--of many--indictment of Bush's horrible presidency.
