Scott McClellan loyal, discreet & uncontroversial

WHEN President George W Bush was looking for a new White House spokesman to replace Ari Fleischer last July, he turned to his close circle of Texan friends for an ally he knew to be loyal, discreet and uncontroversial.
What an ungrateful guy Scott McClellan turned out to be he was also neither loyal, discreet, or uncontroversial. I guess there might be something to the old saying like father like son.
President Bush employed not only Scott but also his brother Mark McClellan who worked in the Bush Administration from 2002 until 2006. They are the sons of Barr McClellan and his former wife Carole Keeton Strayhorn who was once the GOP mayor of Austin , Texas from 1977-83.
The father Barr McClellan is simply crazy let me explain a few years ago back in 2003 an episode of a History channel series entitled THE MEN WHO KILLED KENNEDY was abruptly banned after just one airing this was due to Barr McClellan's allegation being the focus of this 2 hour segment in it he claims that Lyndon B. Johnson had John F. Kennedy killed. He also wrote a book called Blood, Money & Power: How L.B.J. Killed J.F.K.
Barr McClellan studied at the University of Texas in Austin. As a student McClellan was a strong supporter of John F. Kennedy. After qualifying as a lawyer he went to work for the administration of President Lyndon B. Johnson. Initially he worked for the National Labor Relations Board but in 1964 he became an attorney for the Federal Power Commission.
In 2003 McClellan published Blood, Money & Power: How LBJ Killed JFK. In the book McClellan argues that Lyndon B. Johnson and Edward Clark were involved in the planning and cover-up of the assassination of John F. Kennedy. McClellan also named Malcolm Wallace as one of the assassins. The killing of Kennedy was paid for by oil millionaires such as Clint Murchison and Haroldson L. Hunt. McClellan claims that Clark got $2 million for this work.

‘LBJ killed JFK’ theory embarrasses Bush aide
WHEN President George W Bush was looking for a new White House spokesman to replace Ari Fleischer last July, he turned to his close circle of Texan friends for an ally he knew to be loyal, discreet and uncontroversial.
Few in the White House press corps expected political fireworks when the president chose Scott McClellan, a long-time Bush supporter who had been Fleischer’s deputy and was renowned for his unassuming manner. McClellan’s brother Mark is a senior administration official and their mother is a former mayor of Austin.
Despite his polished political pedigree, McClellan’s family ties have suddenly brought him unexpected embarrassment. His father Barr, a 63-year-old former Texas lawyer, claims in a book that President John F Kennedy was assassinated on the orders of the man who succeeded him — Lyndon Baines Johnson.
After 40 years of rabid conspiracy theorising over JFK’s murder in Dallas in 1963, the older McClellan claims to have found a new culprit — Edward Clark, a former US ambassador to Australia and close political ally of Johnson.
At a time when the new White House spokesman is fending off criticism of Bush’s handling of the economy and Iraq, he is also having to cope with speculation that his father is either a crackpot — or may just have found the missing link in one of the most notorious mysteries in American history.
McClellan Jr has so far declined to comment on the awkward fuss over Blood, Money and Power: How LBJ Killed JFK. “I think at this time it’s best that I keep my relationship with my dad a private matter,” he said.
His father has been less discreet. Keen to promote his book, published by a tiny firm in Arkansas, he has been gaily telling interviewers that LBJ resorted to murder because he was worried about being dropped as vice-president by Kennedy. “I knew LBJ well. He was very brutal,” McClellan Sr said.
LBJ has until now escaped serious suspicion and Robert Caro, his biographer, dismissed the scenario as “highly implausible”. Other historians called it “absurd”.
Scott McClellan is apparantly embarrassed no more since he has now joined the ranks of his conspiracy theorist father and that other conspiracy nutcase from Austin , Texas Alex Jones.There must be something in the water down in Austin that effects some people in a very wierd way that turns them into conspiracy theorists maybe the McClellan family didn't have a BRITA WATER filter we all know that other conspiracy nut from Austin Mr. Alex Jones surely didn't have his water filtered or maybe they were just childhood neighbors. Somebody should check the Flouride levels in the Austin water district before anymore children are damaged. I guess Scott McClellan will now be voting for Dr. Ron Paul since all conspiracy theorists tend to gravitate towards the crazy congressman.
