McClellan recently published a book called, "What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington's Culture of Deception."
According to Dana Milbank of the Washington Post, Republicans on that committee "worked feverishly to discredit the former White House press secretary who had turned against his patron and former boss, President Bush."
I don't have a transcript of the hearing, but Milbank reported that Iowa's own Congressman Steve King asked McClellan, "Couldn't you have taken this to the grave with you and done this country a favor?"
That's just what I try to teach my kids--when you see other people committing crimes and lying about it, do the country a favor by keeping your mouth shut.
If you are tired of King embarrassing our great state on a regular basis, please donate to Rob Hubler, the Democrat seeking to represent Iowa's fifth Congressional district.
