P! Update: Scotty, Ricky, Hillary, Tory

Posted on May 30, 2008

 

Mother Jones is bitter about Scott McClellan’s new-found fame: ‘Excuse me if I’m resentful of the attention Scott McClellan, George W. Bush’s onetime presidential press secretary, is receiving for finally telling the obvious truth that the Bush White House deceived the public about the Iraq war. Though McClellan’s account has punch coming from an insider, he’s late to the party. Some of us made the case when it counted–back in 2002 and 2003, before the war was launched… ‘ (We always agree with Mother.)

Over at The Cynics’ Party it’s being noted that ‘Former George W. Bush supporter Ricky Martin, who memorably danced with the President at his inauguration in 2001, is throwing his support behind Hillary Clinton’s struggling campaign. Despite his past flirtations with the red-staters, Martin’s preference for Hillary makes sense since they are both 90’s relics and probably in the closet.’ (Meow.)

U.S. Republicans aren’t the only conservative politicians struggling to keep their heads above water. From The Canadian Press via CTV: ‘Public perceptions of integrity, accountability and economic stewardship are all taking a hit as the Harper Conservatives enter their third year in power, a new poll suggests. Overall satisfaction with the minority Tory government dropped 13 percentage points between December and May…’ (Ya think this is a trend?)
