i've been waiting for this moment for a long time

WASHINGTON, May 27 (Reuters) - Former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan says in a new book that U.S. President Bush "veered terribly off course" and was not "open and forthright on Iraq," Politico.com reported on Tuesday.

In the memoir due out next week, McClellan also says Bush relied on "propaganda" to sell the war and says the Washington press corps was too easy on the administration during the run-up to it, according to the Web site.

McClellan also takes the administration to task for its performance after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, saying the White House "spent most of the first week in a state of denial," Politico reported.

Said McClellan: "One of the worst disasters in our nation’s history became one of the biggest disasters in Bush's presidency."

mccain calls wife trollop, cunt

"hey, it's just been a long day"

John McCain's temper is well documented. He's called opponents and colleagues "shitheads," "assholes" and in at least one case "a fucking jerk."...

...At one point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain's hair and said, "You're getting a little thin up there." McCain's face reddened, and he responded:

"At least I don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt."


McCain's excuse was that it had been a long day.

If elected president of the United States, McCain would have many long days.
