Just in case Scott McClellan wasn't keeping count, the Center for Public Integrity was: at least 935 falsehoods told by the president and his aides in the runup to the war.

McClellan's assertions are certainly not good news for the McCain campaign, which would prefer to engage in a linear conversation about Iraq than to get bogged down in its inception.

While many of the top-shelf cable news reporters are making excuses, the Bush administration and the McCain campaign are making plans for more wars. But they're also making ribs! So never mind all that. Pass the sauce.

Scott's old mates seem none too happy with him these days. Of course, what they're saying may not be exactly the same as what they're thinking.

This is McClellan's shot at shaping his place in history, and so far, the man who studied from the Bush/ Rove playbook for seven years is using the tricks he learned from the masters.

It's easy for McClellan to bash his former boss when the latter has already been leveled by his own bald-faced incompetence. He should've said something a couple of years ago, when it would've mattered.

We asked the publisher if the publicity of McClellan's book felt different this time around, or if this was exactly what he planned. After all, doesn't every publisher plan for their books to hit #1?
