In attacking the memoir critical of George W. Bush’s regime, former press secretary Scott McClellan has been described by the White House as your classic “former disgruntled employee.”

Well, yeah, do ya think?

After all, if you had been lied to and played for a chump by your bosses, sent out to spread disinformation to the national press corps, don’t you suppose you’d be a pinch “disgruntled,” too?

There is a temptation to regard McClellan’s’s revelations that the Iraq War was a conflict born of hubris, a “strategic blunder,” advanced by an incurious president given to “self-deception” as a kind of vindication for the millions of Americans who opposed this insane foreign policy delusion from the very beginning.

But then again, those of us who have opposed this war already knew - obviously well ahead of Scott McClellan’s epiphany - of this debacle in-the-making.

To be sure any additional vindication is a nice thing. So really, what else is there to say, except: “Welcome, welcome, welcome Scott, Come on in to the pool of truth. The water is just fine.”
