Character is what you are in the dark

Albert Speer. Opportunist Nazi Dirtbag.

Here is a highly paraphrased and condensed version of memoirs of Albert Speer "Inside the Third Riech" ( Speer was German Minister for Armaments under Nazi Regime): "Sure, I knew Hitler was as crazy as an outhouse rat and what we were doing in the Reich was wrong and totally immoral, but I despite how much I disagreed with Adolph Hitler, I decided not to speak up and to hang out at my office in Berlin for awhile because I knew that there would be a great market for my memoirs after the war. After all, isn't that what its all about? "

Well that was my take anyway. It was the first thing I thought of when I heard some of the things that Scott "Cupcheck" McClellan has written about the Bush Administration.

Sorry Scott. If you were lied to, and you felt that the Administration you worked in as its spokesman was corrupt, out of control and frankly, just plain wrong, then the thing to do would have been to politely resign (as you were free to do at any moment during your service), walk down the street and explain why you did so to the New York Times.

I'm absolutely certain they would have listened to you. The fact that you didnt choose to do that when it supposedly happened to you, tells me volumes, not about the President and his Administration, but about your character. I have to conclude two things, either you are lying now, or you are a coward and an opportunist dirtbag, like someone else I can think of who springs to mind.

Who knows, maybe you are all three, sort of "one stop shopping" for people in need of a low character snivelling little weasel.

Oh, and Scott just to clue you in - nobody likes or trusts an opportunist turncoat no matter what side they are on. People might be smiling and patting you on the back now, but trust me, youve seen the last of anything "confidential" for the rest of your working career.

I hope it was worth it.
