Scottie McClellan really does not like Dick Cheney.
McClellan sees similarities between Bush in 2000 and Obama in 2008. The Illinois senator “has a theme that is very similar to the one this president ran on” and that initially attracted McClellan to Bush: being a bipartisan who reaches across the political gulf to act as a “uniter, not a divider” and a change agent.
McClellan who is clear that he has no great admiration for Cheney, joked to the audience that his national book tour has given him some ideas for book titles Cheney might consider: “The Lies I Told,” or “I Upped Halliburton’s Income – So Up Yours.”
He also said that during his two terms, Cheney has increased the power of the vice presidency, which was “one of the vice president’s pet projects.”
I wonder if McClellan hugs trees.
