Former White House press secretary Scott McClellan admitted on Bill O’Reilly’s radio program that O’Reilly in fact didn’t receive talking points from the White House as he had said on MSNBC’s Hardball with Chris Matthews.
From TVNewser.
The newest wrinkle to the Scott McClellan-talking points story twists the whole situation 180 degrees. McClellan now says FNC anchor Bill O’Reilly never received White House talking points.
Johnny Dollar has the audio from today’s Radio Factor, in which McClellan appeared as a guest. “The truth is I messed up. I was specifically not trying to single anyone out, including you,” said McClellan. “There were people, not you, but there were people.“
As for the response to his comments: “Some people tried to paint it in a black and white term to their preconceived notions,” said McClellan. “I should not have left it open to interpretation.”
Regarding MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, who conducted the original interview, O’Reilly said, “Matthews played you. He played you.”
Later, when things got heated between the two, McClellan said, “You know the way these interviews go, Matthews is a guy that interrupts you, just like you’re interrupting now.”
Click continued to hear the McClellan-O’Reilly interview…
In other words McClellan cracked under pressure just like he did when he was the press secretary except in this case he was trying to endear himself to the liberal media which has helped him sell his book.
Can anyone trust him know after this?

2 Comments for McClellan Admits that He Messed Up
Scott was a pathetic press secretary. He is deserving of being relegated to life with the looney liberals for his betrayal of the President.
It’s sad to see that McClellan has reduced himself so low that he’s hanging with the likes of Matthews and Olbermann to hawk a book that’s headed for the discount racks. Now what does he do to make a living? No one in their right mind would want to hire a backstabbing creep like him and he won’t be able to survive too long from book sales.
