While Scott McClellan’s tell all book is being received with a sort of masturbatory glee by the far left and the rabid Bush haters, it seems that he isn’t winning any friends in some mainstream Democratic circles:

Hillary Clinton campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe tells the National Journal’s splendiferous Tammy Haddad that he doesn’t care for former Bush White House press secretary Scott McClellen’s scathing memoir.

“I never like it when someone works for someone and then comes out and writes a book trashing them,” quoth the Macker. “I don’t care if it is politics or life. If he was that upset about everything, he should have quit. Remember, Gerald Ford’s press secretary quit when he disagreed with pardoning, Ford pardoning Nixon. If you don’t agree, then get out. And I just, I find it abhorrent the way these people come out and write books about their boss. It made ‘em money, it made ‘em prestige, it gave them all this power, and then they turn around and slap ‘em. I just, I gotta tell you, I just uh, I don’t care who it is—Democrat, Republican—it’s wrong.”

When Benedict Arnold betrayed his country and his Commander-In-Chief, George Washington, the British took him in and gave him a safe haven and high rank. BUT - they never fully trusted him and treated him with cautious disdain.

I wonder who on the left, despite their joy at McClellan’s betrayal, will ever trust him enough to let him into their inner circle?

He’d better enjoy the proceeds from his book because he’s done.
