McClellan's excuse of "I was just doing my job" is no more a valid defense now than it was at Nuremberg -- and I don't remember anyone there being sentenced to a lucrative book deal.

McClellan as White House spokesman lacked experience, talent, charm, agility, depth. But Bush and Cheney saw these defects as an advantage. They actually wanted the executive branch to become more opaque, and he was the perfect man for the job.

No one woke up Sunday morning needing Tim Russert to prove that McClellan changed his tune since leaving the White House -- McClellan had written a whole gollydarned BOOK on that very topic.

The Bush team misjudged Scott McClellan as badly as they have misjudged everything. He was considerably more than a loyal, empty vessel skilled at pouring out well-chosen words.

The blowback from McClellan's tell-all illustrates the administration's intolerance of dissent. The lesson to take away is that no president can govern effectively if they take criticism as disloyalty.

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.
