Betrayal of trust

Like rats scurrying from a sinking (sunken?) ship, President Bush's erstwhile comrades desert him. I'm no fan of the President and the havoc he's brought upon this nation (and the world). But the betrayal of Bush by his past Press Secretary Scott McClellan (and others before him) almost makes me feel sorry for Bush ... almost.

McClennan has written a book in which he tells of the dissembling, ineptitude, and political crassness of the White House before and during the Iraq civil war (and dealing with Hurricane Katrina).

If McClellan had had such strong concerns while at the White House, he should have done his patriotic duty at that time and resigned. "It's time to spend more time with my family", etc., etc.

I experience no schadenfreude, merely pity.
