McClellan Hot Spot

One thing’s for sure: President Bush and Scott McClellan won’t be kicking back on those rocking chairs in Texas like Bush predicted when McClellan left the White House two years ago. “I certainly don’t expect it any time soon,” the former press secretary said Thursday morning on NBC’s Today Show. McClellan’s book diminishes any prospect that Americans will view Bush favorably before Jan. 20, 2009. The more relevant, immediate impact of Bush’s low poll numbers and lack of credibility will be felt by McCain and other Republicans on the ballot this fall.
