Scott McClellan, Shredded

Trent Duffy was the deputy White House press secretary under Scott McClellan. Everyone assumed he would take over when McClellan left and that the White House press operations would improve dramatically, or at least as much as they could under an overly cautious Dan Bartlett. But McClellan never resigned, so Duffy moved on. And now, after his firing, McClellan tells us that he was “disillusioned” well before he was forced from his job. Duffy thinks that’s too convenient. He knows different because he was talking to McClellan regularly about his job satisfaction. He’s written about these interactions, and many others, in an oped for the Washington Post. If you believe Duffy, McClellan lied and lied repeatedly.
