Yours truly has the luxury of being off from the 8-5 today
Just got done taking my cat to the vet (she was a good girl) and am getting ready to run a few more errands. Will be back later this afternoon.
Consider this an open thread.

Wait a second! You have the day off, and you’re not blogging for us?
Quick, while she’s gone! Let’s rearrange the furniture!
Newt Gingrich has a petition at Americansolutions.com regarding the lack of new oil wells being drilled in this country. I personally wish he would add to this petition a clause about uncapping oil wells and just start pumping more. – Lorica
McClellan Defends his book:
Ahhhh yes the old “higher loyalty” line. Seems to me that is usually the last refuge of a scondrel. We all know that he only did this to make himself wealthy. He knew if he pandered to the left, that those tools would eat up his book. You have to wonder why so many good people take up the mantle of the Clinton’s just for wealth. – Lorica
All of the hoopla over Scott McClellan and his book can only mean one thing – Iraq is going very well indeed.
Interesting article from the NY Post. I especially like the following:
Indeed. Which is why (for the time being) we will have Scott McClellan 24/7 from the MSM. The Narrative is right even if the facts are wrong!
Best quote of the day:

Is there a Soros-McClellan Connection?
Sure seems like it.

Puppetmaster behind the puppet?
Well, I think McClellan should be commended for acting on his strong sense of loyalty.
Once there was money in it.
Just can’t muster any degree of respect for the clown. Where was his sense of outrage and injured integrity all these years? I don’t have to crack open his book to tell it fails the sniff test, and so does he. He puts me in mind of another Scott, Ritter, who suddenly did a 180 regarding Saddam Hussein just as soon as the check cleared.
Calling him a mercenary whore stains two comparatively noble professions by unfairly associating them with this self inflating buffoon.
I think Scott is going to be the next Cindy Sheehan. Just another useful idiot to the power hungry ultra liberal leadership. As soon as he is no longer useful he is going to be ignored. Hello Cindy!!! – Lorica
Forget about McClellan! Miz Muffie had to go to the ‘netavarian? What fer???
A book about the President, which do you think will sell more, a positive or negative view of the President.
Color me unimpressed.
What strikes me as funny is how he takes assuptions and tries to make them facts.
Libby and Rove close a door and meet together – so OBVIOUSLY they must be getting thier stories straight, and they are up to no good. Because he has never seen them meet before.
I never seen open heart surgery, doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.
I think there is questions to be asked, yes, but do I put serious weight to his book as the end all expose of the Bush Administration? No.
Now McClellan is to tesify under oath before congress.
The circus is in town and it has puppets and puppetmasters, watch them pull the strings and make the puppets dance. Come one, come all.
“Anyone who has transcribed an interview or conversation and then shaped it into readable prose knows the dimensions of the challenge. Often enough, the editor must do so much cutting, reorganizing and filling in, he deserves status as coauthor of the piece.”
This quote, taken from Peter Quinn’s 1995 introduction to Plunkitt of Tammany Hall, may explain why Scott McCellan’s final product is so different from the Scott McCellan everyone knew. Perhaps the editor’s bias is showing. The MSM has been editing, filling in, and reorganizing the comments by members of this administration for years.
You mean the same editor who has 6 George Soros books?? You think that this guy might be biased?? – Lorica
Great article, M.D.
Heres another one from the Post:
SUCCESS IN IRAQ: A MEDIA BLACKOUT
Here’s my favorite part:
Whorespondents. I like that. I’ve got a new word to play with!!
Sorry I’m a little late on writing about the McClellan book, ya’ll – here’s my take, hot off the presses.
MD and NC, both good articles. Thanks for the links. Ralph Peters is probably the best columnist in New York.
