Scott McClellan on the Daily Show

Whats really interesting watching McClellan on this is how he really seems to ignore the way that the people in the White House were willingly lying to the public. I mean, certainly he gives the impression of almost completely lacking the ability for self-reflection. I mean, he certainly seems to be trying to say, against the evidence of his own book, that the people involved weren’t lying except that they ended up lying. Which is a really weird position. It seems like, from his point of view, he is trying to show how others lied, but in order to avoid the realisation that he was one of those liars he tries to suggest that the lying wasn’t deliberate?
