McClellan's book

"What Happened", the new memoir by former White House press secretary Scott McClellan, is now on sale in bookstores nationwide.

Meantime, McClellan has been making the rounds on various talk shows, and the book has been getting a lot of press, good and bad.

From what I've seen of its contents, the book just confirms what we've known all along -- that the Iraq War waged on lies, the outing of Valerie Plame Wilson's identity came from the top, etc., etc., etc.

But McClellan was brave to write it, and I am going to buy a copy.

McClellan's life will never be the same. He has lost a lot of friends and political allies in writing this book. He has burned a lot of bridges. But at least, after his years of lying to cover Bush's ass, McClellan has come clean.

There is something to be said for that, even though it might appear opportunistic.
