What happened, indeed.

What people have trouble realizing about McClellan is that working in the White House is the most unreal, hermetically sealed life imaginable. Nothing comes in that isn't vetted 100 times before the lowliest intern gets to touch it. So it doesn't surprise me that it's taken two years for him to detoxify and start seeing things clearly. The amusing part, of course, is the howling from the hyenas who have to keep telling themselves that W is a great president ... otherwise, what the hell were they thinking? Power corrupts completely, utterly, down to the cellular level. On the other hand, talk about piling on. McClellan's book, while probably pretty tasty for what it is, doesn't really break a lot of ground for those of us who were outside the bubble living in the reality-based world. Sometimes, bad deeds are very handsomely rewarded.

Question: Should we invest in a restaurant?
