Will the Real Scott Please Stand Up?

McClellan’s #2 is going after his former boss on the editorial pages of the Washington Post. And it’s good.

He ends with this:

Perhaps you have had an epiphany. Maybe it is better to appease terrorists and let them fight us here instead of taking them on overseas. Maybe we should return our public education system to factories of mediocrity run by teachers unions instead of demanding and delivering educational excellence for our children. Maybe we should let the government ration health care and get between us and our doctors. And maybe we should raise taxes, punish individual enterprise and destroy the incentive for hard work to pay for more government programs.

…

Think about it. You may not be able to now, since you have conceded your inability to think clearly and independently inside a bubble atmosphere, be it at the White House or while on a media-frenzy book tour.

…

But do it anyway. On your own, without a publisher around. And let me know what you figure out.

It looks like the student is now educating the teacher.

Ouch!
