AND COMING IN JUNE: THE MEMOIRS OF BUSH'S PROCTOLOGIST

The White House has responded aggressively to Scott McClellan's negative characterization of the Bush administration in his just-released book. Current press secretary Dana Perino commented, "We are puzzled. It is sad. This is not the Scott we knew" (no joke). Perino continued, noting that "The Scott we knew was an eager-to-please toady, sycophant, and boot-licker who'd lie through his teeth for us. He had the moral convictions of a bowl of lukewarm spit, and we loved him for it."
