A letter from MoveOn

[babsbunny]

Dear MoveOn member,
There are laws to prevent criminals from profiting by selling their stories. But after spending years defending the Bush administration and perpetuating the lies that led our country into war, Scott McClellan is poised to make bank—his tell-all book is a bestseller and he may make hundreds of thousands or millions.

Meanwhile, our troops are still dying in Iraq.

Coming clean is admirable. But McClellan shouldn't profit off the role he played in our nation's largest foreign policy blunder.

So we have a proposition for him. Let's call on him to donate all of the proceeds from his book to a group that helps Iraq veterans, like Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. If we make enough noise, he'll probably be asked about it on tomorrow's Sunday shows (he's on all three!)—so please sign on and pass this around. Clicking below will add your name:

The petition reads:

People who helped lie this country into an unnecessary war should not be rewarded for it. Scott McClellan should donate all the proceeds from his book to a group that helps Iraq veterans—like Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.

Thanks for all you do.

1. He does seem opportunistic doesn't he

He did the right thing with the book but even a broken clock is right twice a day.

I wonder how much the morning shows pay plus his future appearances? Probably more than most people make.

So sure, he should donate the book's proceeds. Seems fair if he really wants to show repentance.

2. I say OH PLEASE

There WAY more war profitters making WAY more money off this war than Scottie, go after Blackwater or Halliburton
