Bob Dole Tells McClellan: You're A "Miserable Creature...Spurred On By Greed"

Politico:

Bob Dole yesterday sent a scalding email to Scott McClellan, excoriating the former White House spokesman as a "miserable creature" who greedily betrayed his former patron for a fast buck.

In an extraordinary message obtained and authenticated by Politico, Dole uses his trademark biting wit to portray McClellan as a classic Washington opportunist.

"There are miserable creatures like you in every administration who don't have the guts to speak up or quit if there are disagreements with the boss or colleagues," Dole wrote in a message sent yesterday morning. "No, your type soaks up the benefits of power, revels in the limelight for years, then quits, and spurred on by greed, cashes in with a scathing critique."

Michael Marshall, Dole's spokesman and colleague at the Alston Bird law firm, confirms the message came from the former senator and presidential candidate. "Yes, it is authentic," Marshall wrote in an email.

I'm sure misery and greed had nothing to do in Mr. Dole's decision to become the Viagra spokesperson.

Hey Bob, go take a Viagra and fall off of a stage with a stiffy.

"A Miserable Creature, Spurred by Greed".

Damn, that makes him one first class Republican, joining the ranks of the Bushes, Cheney, Rumsfeld, etc.

Except there's hope for McClellan.

"A Miserable Creature, Spurred by Greed"

Isn't that the GOP motto?

[KOisGod]

A "miserable creature" declaring a Republican as a "miserable creature".

LOL, oh, the irony. Please stop Bob, really, Elizabeth is waiting in the bedroom, with her nighty on and a promise of unending pleasure. She's got the laptop signed in to your Etrade account, and has opened up multiple windows so you can spend your erect hours looking at your war profits.

Good one. Bobby you viagra is waiting and Liz is too!

[Marcospinelli]

Is what Scott McClellan wrote true?

That's all that's important.

The louder Republicans yell and attack Scott McClellan, the clearer and more obvious the truth of McClellan's words become.

What a terribly sad indictment Bob Dole's words are of Bob Dole.

[VOTER]

Ugh!

Watching TWO OLD GOP, MCCAIN & DOLE, having MELTDOWNS ON THE SAME DAY IS TOO MUCH!

[AMJordan]

When Bob Dole is angry, Bob Dole knows how to use the internet and Viagra.

[Vyvjala]

Go hug a polar bear, you ole fool..............

[Justtellthetruth]

So no one can say he lying. The best they can do is roll out decrepit old Bob Dole to send him an Email that essentially says you should have quit sooner or maybe just not said anything at all?

Jesus Christ!! This may be the the worst administration (not to mention president) ever!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

[NYCMami]

What crypt did they find this guy in? Having said that, I completely and totally agree on his assessment on McClellon. I'm glad he did speak out but he's still a snake in the grass. McClellon is NO hero.

[bas1311]

The whole shoot the messenger thing that the Republicans are doing is so transparent and really says that they know McClennan(who is a class A douche) is telling the truth. I'm not sure why Dole hasn't called for Bush or Cheney to resign if he thinks that McClellan should have.

[CAPTAINSKIPPY]

Tomorrow's addendum to the story: And, Dole continued, "so, you're not much better than your old boss!"

[260Parkway]

Why is he talking? Why are people covering what he has to say anyway? Wait, that's the RNC winning ticket right there: John McCain and Bob Dole, 2008. War and Viagra great combination, eh? Just what the doctor ordered and America needs.

[Sandy972]

Are you kidding me? You mean that what Scott did was worse than taking us into a "made up" war, and killings thousands of our people and thousands of Iraqis is not bad? Where the hell have all of our priorities gone? I think ole' Bob is in the early stages of dementia. LOL
