Flutterby™! : Almost feel pity for his incompetence

Wow, not only did Scott McClellan have a change of heart, apparently so did George W. Bush:

... "I think that in retrospect I could have used a different tone, a different rhetoric."

Phrases such as "bring them on" or "dead or alive", he said, "indicated to people that I was, you know, not a man of peace".

And "man, like, you know, phrases such as 'Mission Accomplished' indicated to people that, like, I was so stoned out of reality that I didn't know what the f*ck was going on, dude", he did not continue.

It's kinda like when you're working with a developmentally disabled person, and you can tell that somewhere down in there they know that they're not capable of doing what they want to, and it's so frustrating to them. Except that usually it's more something like expressing to you that they really want apple sauce for lunch, rather than wanting to immantentize the eschaton and bring on Armageddon.
