A Snitch like Me
Scott McClennan the "snitch:" Bush's former press secretary who repeatedly lied to media people; well I understand his POV and feelings in something like this. I was once a high placed exec with a ton of people under me who liked me (because I made it possible for them to make more money than they had ever dreamed of---it wasn't because of my sterling character or big cock). I totally believed top management and kept my people producing based on what I was told about the company. Then booooommm. Suddenly customer complaints that had been ignored for years came to the surface, the Wall Street Journal refused to take our ads and exposed us, and our executives tried an illegal takeover of the company. I could no longer look my people in the eye because I was revealed as a stone cold liar, even though an actual lie would be saying something was true that I knew was false, not passing on information I had every reason to believe was true. I resigned rather than continue. My anger at the company execs who caused me to lie was never ending. I testified in court against them, "snitched" to law enforcement and the Federal Government, and told the truth in depositions. It was at least fifteen years ago and I'm still totally pissed off. Scott feels dirty because he relayed information he believed was true that was false. He appears the liar, to himself, his family, and the media. Shit like that can piss one off. Being a fink or a rat is one way of purging one's self.
