  Why is it that when McClellan is critical of the Administration, taking actions that are counter to the Republican agenda, that he is branded as "a miserable creature..."
  
  However, when high-ranking Republican officials act in ways contrary to the party's stance, like Larry Craig, Mark Foley, and others ... then party officials just distance themselves from the issue?

  Oh I think they considered Craig a miserable creature...backed away...and put on all the pressure they could to get him to resign immediately. But they cant make an elected official quit for what he did.
  
  He has a new book coming out, btw

  Well remember Bush is President, the head of the Republican party and we are in the middle of an election year. What McClellan is perceived as doing is poison to the Republican cause in getting a 3rd Bush term....
  
  What Craig did, was disc himself according to many Republicans.

  What Scott McClellan did was shine a light where they were working in the dark
  He started telling the truth
  That's like turning the kitchen light on in a roach infested NY Apartment
  If you notice they have a lot of labels for him
  disloyal
  unethical
  unprofessional
  Blah...blah ...blah
  But no one says he's a liar...or pointing out where he's wrong
  HMMM>>>>

  At the end of the day this is all nothing about nothing. Bush lied -- so what? We're stuck in Iraq and failing horrendously in Afganistan -- nobody cares anymore. It's all beating a dead horse that nobody cared about when it was alive, and nobody's going to do anything about it now that it's dead.
  What passes for the American collective has decided that it's all good.
  
  Although...Bob Dole's flame of Scotty was hysterical! Oh, ok, there hasn't been anything for you to talk about for the last 16 years, and NOW you chime in? On THIS?! Shoot, dude, go back to fking SLEEP!

  This is the original Dole e-mail:
  
  Scott,
  
  There are miserable creatures like you in every administration who don't have the guts to speak up or quit if there are disagreements with the boss or colleagues. No, your type soaks up the benefits of power, revels in the limelight for years, then quits, and spurred on by greed, cashes in with a scathing critique.
  
  In my nearly 36 years of public service I've known of a few like you. No doubt you will "clean up" as the liberal anti-Bush press will promote your belated concerns with wild enthusiasm. When the money starts rolling in you should donate it to a worthy cause, something like, "Biting The Hand That Fed Me." Another thought is to weasel your way back into the White House if a Democrat is elected. That would provide a good set up for a second book deal in a few years.
  
  I have no intention of reading your "exposé" because if all these awful things were happening, and perhaps some may have been, you should have spoken up publicly like a man, or quit your cushy, high profile job. That would have taken integrity and courage but then you would have had credibility and your complaints could have been aired objectively. You're a hot ticket now but don't you, deep down, feel like a total ingrate?
  
  BOB DOLE
  
  Bob Dole says You're bad Scott
  You should have just started hawkin' Viagra ike I did

  I saw an interview a bit ago on PBS, was concentrating on my cheeseburger but I peeked over and he looked kinda yummy. Nothing said 'gay' to me. He speaks well, but his job demands he does so.
