Former spokesman writes scathing memoir of Bush White House

Let the piling on begin.
The deeply unpopular Bush administration took another hit today as former White House spokesman Scott McClellan released more excerpts of his soon-to-be-published book, What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington’s Culture of Deception.

At the very least, Bush was ill-served by his advisers in matters from the war in Iraq; the Valerie Plame (CIA) leak case in which a working CIA operative was outed; and the botched handling of Hurricane Katrina’s aftermath.
The White House responded today, saying it was “puzzled” by McClellan’s scathing memoir. “This is not the Scott we knew,” said current White House spokeswoman Dana Perino. Expect more forceful responses to discredit the longtime Bush loyalist.
