What Happened to Scott McClellen?
Former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellen hit the talk show circuit with a vengeance this week, stumping for his newest book What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington's Culture of Deception.
I've aggregated some of the more notable clips and quotes in this post. Enjoy.
Countdown with Keith Olbermann (right)
"I don't think you'll be dining out on this book for the rest of your life, but I think this is a primary document of American history. I'm very impressed, and I think at some point people will be teaching American history classes on it." -Keith Olbermann
The Daily Show (below)
"I appreciate what you're trying to do, and I think candor is the only way to get past this" -John Stewart
Meet the Press (below)
"I was part of the [Iraq War] propaganda campaign. Absolutely." -Scott McClellen
The most telling review of them all?
"This [book] doesn't sound like Scott" -Karl Rove on Fox News
