I had high hopes for this book, but ultimately, was disappointed. I don't think any thoughtful, logical person would have blamed McClellan for the lies he disseminated for Bush and company. But after he found out, why didn't he resign and blow the whistle? He has plenty of connections in Texas ( he's Dean Keeton's grandson, for pity's sake !!! ) and could have found another job quickly.

McClellan's book is too little, too late. It's just the whining apologia of another "good ol' boy".

No new news here. More a chronicle of Scott McClellan than any true insights.
