Now that Karl Rove, Scott McClellan and Frances Townsend have graduated from White House junior high school, they are free to call each other names in public. Who knew they would fight over the historical significance of Principal George W. Bush's acts in office?
Fawning Fran, of "you are such a man", took umbrage when Scotty, no longer the wooden puppet of Georgepetto, confessed he told untruths as Bush's White House Press Secretary. But Scott soiled Fran's litter box with a pulpous stool when he noted the disastrous response to Hurricane Katrina. That started the cat fight, now rather public given Mrs. Townsend's CNN appointment.
Frances Townsend, former Homeland Security adviser to Bush, said advisers to the president should speak up when they have policy concerns. "Scott never did that on any of these issues as best I can remember or as best as I know from any of my White House colleagues," said Townsend, now a CNN contributor. "For him to do this now strikes me as self-serving, disingenuous and unprofessional."
Scott was generous in not mentioning the foul odor emanating from Fran's Lessons Learned report. How does one do a competent investigation when they omit any mention of the hospital with the largest number of patient deaths from the report? Will Fran ask herself that question on the air as a new CNN commenter? Doubtful.
Meanwhile, Karl opined on Scott's tome from his FOX News commenter role. He noted "that the excerpts from the book he's read sound more like they were written by a "left-wing logger" than his former colleague." (I take it CNN meant "blogger".) My suspicion that Scott wasn't important enough to be invited into policy development meetings turned out to be correct. He was but a mouthpiece, which makes Fran's and Karl's current sniping easier.
But ditzy Dana Perino, now occupying the high tech wooden doll podium, simply called Scotty's remarks "sad". I guess she liked him better as Bush's Charlie McCarthy mouthpiece. Smile Dana and pay no attention to the strange sensation in the middle of your back!
Those paying attention knew Scott's nose grew enough during the Bush Presidency to make those wooden rocking chairs George W. spoke of when McClellan officially stepped down. Now that he's a real boy again, it's maddeningly hard to pull the strings. But Scotty's junior high classmates can run him down. Yes, they can.
