Dana Perino's Response to McClellan Book: Bush Never Lies

The irony in this is quite amusing. As if on purpose, Press Security Dana Perino responded Monday in an off-camera dialogue at the White House to the subject of former secretary Scott McClellan's upcoming book, which is expected to unleash a lot of dirty secrets from his time there under the Bush administration. On cue, McClellan's book publisher quickly came out with a retraction that let everyone know that he doesn't mean to imply that Bush ever knowingly lied to him. Perino commented by saying that Bush does not and has not "knowingly" lied. This coming from Dana Perino... she sure shares Bush's arrogance, that's for sure. I wouldn't however, expect her to be writing any truthful books or memoirs after leaving the White House, being the soulless career-pushing liar that she is. They must have some kind of undefined explanation for these kinds of statements, because... Bush never lies/lied?

Today at the off-camera briefing, White House Press Secretary Dana Perino said she has discussed Scott McClellan's forthcoming book with the president, and Perino said President Bush "has not and would not knowingly pass false information."

In the yet-to-be-published book, McClellan's publisher says the former press secretary claims five White House officials -- including the president and vice president -- were responsible for McClellan passing incorrect information on the CIA leak case. As White House press secretary, McClellan had stated that officials including Karl Rove were not involved in leaking the identity of CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson.

Evidence at the Libby trial showed that Rove had discussed war critic Joe Wilson's wife and her CIA employment with two reporters. Ari Fleischer did so as well, according to court testimony.

Scott McClellan 'Tells All' in New Book

Former Bush puppet spin doctor, or White House Press Secretary, Scott McClellan made a living lying for the president after the whole Iraq WMD debacle, and now he wants to make some money writing about those lies. There is something infuriating about our government's ways when they get paid to lie, destroy our freedoms, and contribute to a criminal empire, then when they leave office they're able to seemingly redeem themselves by writing books and getting paid big money for ridiculous speeches. It is only till now that the traitorous leaders of this country have been confronted everywhere they go when they leave office, and rightly so. They have sowed their own fate in this country, and they will forever pay dearly for those retirement checks.

Anyway, McClellan has released an excerpt from his upcoming book, where he plans to allegedly tell the truth about his stay in the White House. That 'truth' will be certainly skewed in such a way to make the chubby weasel look like a good guy. One of the subjects he will bring up will be the Valerie Plame incident:

"The most powerful leader in the world had called upon me to speak on his behalf and help restore credibility he lost amid the failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. So I stood at the White house briefing room podium in front of the glare of the klieg lights for the better part of two weeks and publicly exonerated two of the senior-most aides in the White House: Karl Rove and Scooter Libby.

There was one problem. It was not true.

I had unknowingly passed along false information. And five of the highest ranking officials in the administration were involved in my doing so: Rove, Libby, the vice President, the President's chief of staff, and the president himself."
