I really feel bad for Scott McClellan sometimes. He seems like such a nice little guy, you know? And then he has to go out make his psycho bosses seem reasonable and consistent in front of a pack of wolves. I've had jobs like that!
I don't really agree that McClellan is the liar. He's the mouthpiece. You can almost feel how embarassed he is about some of the nonsense he's forced to spew. My bet is he won't last another 3 months in that job.
Look: it was almost certainly inappropriate for Bush to comment on the DeLay matter. But he did. My guess is, it was because thinking on his feet isn't *cough* his strong suit. And now, in classic Administration Modus Operandi, McClellan is trotted out to explain how that wasn't a mistake and there's nothing improper or inconsistent about it.
Bush has done some things in the last week to earn a little bit of the public back for himself--admitting to bad war intel, for instance. The question now is if his position is so weakened that there's no recovering.
