The former Press Secretary has written a book. I am not going to buy it and you probably shouldn't either.
Anyone that could write the following paragraph deserves to be ignored:
"Our lack of candor and honesty in making the case for war would later provoke a partisan response from our opponents that, in its own way, further distorted and obscured a more nuanced reality. Another cycle of deception would cloud the public's ability to see larger, underlying important truths that are critical to understand in order to avoid the same problems in the future. "
Huh?
Any half-decent editor would have simplified the wording:
"When the Democrat-America-Haters realized that we had lied about the threat in Iraq, they were really pissed. It forced us to react as if they were the enemy. It was all their fault. "
As President Bush might have said, "Helluva job, Scotty."

“…talking about the good old days and his time as the Press Secretary. And I can assure you I will feel the same way then that I feel now, that I can say to Scott, job well done.”
