George is very disappointed in this surprise. W was hoping we were going to let him call a mulligan on the golf game that has been his presidency. Sorry George there are no do-overs or take backs you have had your two terms even if you wasted them along with trillions of dollars and countless American lives.

The big surprise around the White House is Scott McClellan doesn’t have nice things to say about big lovable George.

From USA Today:

President Bush “veered terribly off course,” was not “open and forthright on Iraq,” and took a “permanent campaign approach” to governing at the expense of candor and competence.

To be fair Scott also doesn’t have nice things to say about The Liberal Media Machine.

“If anything, the national press corps was probably too deferential to the White House and to the administration in regard to the most important decision facing the nation during my years in Washington, the choice over whether to go to war in Iraq. The collapse of the administration’s rationales for war, which became apparent months after our invasion, should never have come as such a surprise. … In this case, the ‘liberal media’ didn’t live up to its reputation. If it had, the country would have been better served.”

Well I think it is safe to say Scott won’t be invited to the W Presidential library or receive a complimentary coloring book either.
