Bob Dole to Scott McClellan: "You're a Miserable Creature".....
Nothing like getting PWNED by an 85 year-old......
Bob Dole yesterday sent a scalding email to Scott McClellan, excoriating the former White House spokesman as a "miserable creature" who greedily betrayed his former patron for a fast buck.
In an extraordinary message obtained and authenticated by Politico, Dole uses his trademark biting wit to portray McClellan as a classic Washington opportunist.
"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," Dole wrote in a message sent yesterday morning. "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.""In my nearly 36 years of public service I've known of a few like you," Dole writes, recounting his years representing Kansas in the House and Senate. "No doubt you will 'clean up' as the liberal anti-Bush press will promote your belated concerns with wild enthusiasm. When the money starts rolling in you should donate it to a worthy cause, something like, 'Biting The Hand That Fed Me.' Another thought is to weasel your way back into the White House if a Democrat is elected. That would provide a good set up for a second book deal in a few years"
"That would have taken integrity and courage but then you would have had credibility and your complaints could have been aired objectively," Dole concludes. "You’re a hot ticket now but don’t you, deep down, feel like a total ingrate?"

Once he called me a racist for opposing illegal immigration, all bets were off. Going along like good little Republican wont get him to change. Maybe if he sees how much anger there is for him he will try to change in order to win. If not, well then there was never a reason to support him, was there?
We should be ranting over his global warming tax. We should denounce him because he will speak at a La Razza rally. Sorry, I wont go willingly, I want him to know that I wont be scared into voting for him.

Dole has always been a sharp witted guy. I still remember laughing at how quick he was on the uptake during his debates with Clinton.
Good on him for handing McClellan his cojones.

A shame the Republicans dont stand up to Dems in the same manner.

They better put McClellan on a suicide watch. Once this really sinks in and all the media are through fawning over him it's going to be a lonely existence.

He will be a lonely guy once he outlives his usefulness by the libs. He will have no friends on either side. These Republicans will never ever learn. Now matter how nice they are to libs and Democrats, they will never be liked by them.
