If I ever escape from an enemy across an abyss, Scott McClellan is the one man I want to have with me. Can this guy burn bridges or what? (Link via Drudge.)

It sounds like McClellan’s book will more or less confirm what we’ve already suspected, especially when it comes to Bush’s leadership style, but it still could be useful in terms of the details it provides on the administration’s lies and machinations. It’s not a pretty picture, yet (unfortunately) not at all atypical of the state.
