McClellan blames Bush, not aides

"I believed in that lying little fucker!" the former WH press secretary almost said in interviews, sobbing.

Scott McClellan has made it clear that it was Preznit Honor 'n' Integritude and "not the high-profile aides around him who left him most disillusioned in the run-up to the Iraq War," the Duh! journal reports.

Maybe Scotty was most 'disillusioned' with Bush as opposed to the rest of his staff, but I still believe that Bush was highly influenced (out of earshot of McClellan, perhaps) by Rasputin Cheney and similar assholes -- probably because they presented things in a simplistic/black & white way which appealed to an intellectually lazy (even by the low US standards!) Bush. Plus, if you DON'T have any knowledge on a subject, and IF you're not the questioning, skeptical kind of person, then when the people around you present things as indisputable / foregone conclusions, IF you trust them then you're going to believe them.

Which of course brings us full circle to the fact that IF we elect a shitty leader (NO track record of leadership & administrative skills, LOW knowledge & verbal skills, significant personal problems, etc) then -- surprise, surprise -- we're going to have shitty leadership, other than by rare accident!
