Former White House press secretary Scott McClellan spoke out for the first time since excerpts of his new memoir set Washington abuzz, saying on NBC's Today show that he was answering a "higher loyalty" than his affection for President Bush: "loyalty to the truth."

The only "Bombshell" was Scotty writing a book.He must be pretty sure he got all the prints of him and the dead hooker. The disclosures or rather "fess ups" were known to all outside of the Major Media."Manufactured Intelligence" should have been Bush's 2000 campaign slogan not compassionate conservative.
