Even Moonbats Disgusted by McClellan's Profiteering

Possibly the most thoroughly contemptible person currently infesting our political scene is former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan. A floundering mediocrity, McClellan was kept on his position longer than he should have been, apparently due to Bush's famous loyalty. This loyalty has been repaid with a nasty book denouncing W in exchange for profit.
Normally Mr. Nice Guy, Bob Dole couldn't contain his contempt:
There are miserable creatures like you in every administration who don’t have the guts to speak up or quit if there are disagreements with the boss or colleagues. No, your type soaks up the benefits of power, revels in the limelight for years, then quits, and spurred on by greed, cashes in with a scathing critique.
Even the kooks at MoveOn.org, though unhinged by their hatred of the President, are disgusted that McClellan will make a fortune for being a perfidious insect. They're calling on him to turn over his profits to veterans of the wars he supported but now denounces.
Then there's this from former DNC head Terry McAuliffe:
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 don't care who it is — Democrat, Republican — it's wrong.
Too bad for McClellan if he thought his Benedict Arnold act would turn him into a hero on the Left. But at least he still gets all the money.
On tips from Byron and Matt L.
