Poor stupid Scottie

[LynnTheDem]

Scott McClellan went on the offensive against Ben Barnes for describing the "shame" he feels over helping President Bush duck service in Vietnam.

"It is not surprising coming from a longtime partisan Democrat," he said. "The allegation was discredited by the commanding officer. This was fully covered and addressed five years ago. It is nothing new."

It turns out that Barnes is such a down-the-line partisan that he supported Texas's Republican State Comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn for reelection in 2002.

Strayhorn is Scott's mom.

3. How could the allegation be discredited by the commanding officer?

What the hell would a CO have to do with the waiting lists?

4. And still waiting for McCain to respond to Barnes

Silence...nothing new.

At least Barnes got Scottie's attention.
