Moveon.org is circulating a petition amongst it’s loyal followers to get Scott McClellan, current worst nemesis of George Bush afters years of quiet loyal service to give up his profits. Scott rebelled against the ridiculous fifth grade tactics (with real world consequences ) of the Valerie Plame Affair that made him look stupid. After reflecting when he was fired but given an offer of reminiscing at Bush’s Crawford ranch someday, he he fell into the arms of the press and the left. No, I am not going to say there is no difference. Those days are over. The press now has it’s own left wings and right wings. Moveon says:
“But McClellan shouldn’t profit off the role he played in our nation’s largest foreign-policy blunder,” the release reads.
“After spending years defending the Bush administration and perpetuating the lies that led our country into war, Scott McClellan is poised to make bank – his tell-all book is a best-seller, and he may make hundreds of thousands or millions,” MoveOn says. “Meanwhile, our troops are still dying in Iraq.”
Moveon wants McClellan to donate his profits under whatever pressure it takes, as Feith did, albeit voluntarily, to veterans groups.
The idiot conservatives on the right, in an open but Plame like tactic to punish, gave moveon the idea by calling for McClellan to match Feith’s altruism.
The attempts to rid Scott of his booty he no doubt feels he earned for the abuse he quietly suffered in the Bush Administrations is just another assault on freedom and free market capitalism with politically motivated applications of power.
Like Maxine Waters wanting to nationalize the oil industry but not wanting to say the word or not remembering it. Later is unlikely.
And like the current proposal to nationalize the property reinsurance industry presumably so that insurance will continue to be available to those who live and build in dangerous areas and at a new lower price than the private market would command. Warren Buffet needs a profit you understand. And he deserves it.
Now the Congress and Senate can get into the action saving the world from Al Gore’s rising ocean waters and save everyone else who is the victim of natural disasters from tornadoes to
Dangerous Religion
So What Is Hypocrisy Anyway?
Hypocrisy Among Scientists?
s and more. This will come at the expense of adding more liabilities to the taxpayer now and in the future, just as the poorly planned Iraq war has done and just as the bipartisan use of politically and personally motivated use of earmarks does. Maybe in every bill they pass.If the reinsurance plan goes through, you might want to consider buying Allstate and State Farm stock in a cynical application of capitalism with an invisible hand, different that described by Adam Smith, looking out for you, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
