The first big insider tell-all of the Bush Administration, “What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington’s Culture of Deception” is a serious and scathing shocker.
The book is penned by former Press Secretary and Bush-loyalist Scott McClellan and focuses on how the Iraq War was basically a marketing ploy that was sold to Americans as a sophisticated “political propaganda campaign.” Lets bomb some people kids, it’s cool and will make you beautiful, thin and well-liked. All that’s missing now is a jingle.
As if thousands of innocent lives lost and families destroyed from a war that was never needed wasn’t cause enough for outrage, McClellan also sheds light on the administrations handling of Hurricane Katrina. He says that after the disaster, the White House “spent most of the first week in a state of denial.” A week in which people were dying, thirsty and stranded.
But that aint all folks. Bush hasn’t been the only busy boy. His henchman have been doing their fair share.
McClellan also makes allegations that Karl Rove, the president’s senior adviser, and I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, the vice president’s chief of staff had “misled” him about their roles in revealing Valerie Plame’s identity.
This entirety of this is: sad, disgusting, evil and probably the worst scam in the history of the US government.
With eight months left in Bush’s term, should he be impeached?
Thoughts?

By all means…yes…Bush, Cheny, Rumsfeld, Rice…all of them should be punished for all the lies they’ve told Americans for the past 8 years. Alot of this information that Scott devulges has also been written in the past. I recently read Hubris…which is all about the political campaign of lies that Washington fed to Americans prior to the Iraq invasion that had the majority of citizens convinced that war with this country was inevitable to prevent WMD’s landing on our country.
It is a total disgrace what this administration has done to our country…we are falling apart at the seams…our jobs have gone overseas, the products, the food, the medicine is from overseas, we’re losing ground as a leading nation, we’ve lost the respect of other countries…and so many more hate us now more than ever…All of this has been accomplished in the 8 years of this presidency. What a shame and disgrace!!!
