"Bush was a bottom and I barebacked him every day after he got a haircut. He preferred that over a lollipop, saying he's a big boy now and could take it like a man. He also enjoys listening to [[Lil Wayne]] sing the song [[Lollipop (Lil Wayne song)|Lollipop]]. It sooths him during [[anal sex]]," McClellan said.
Born in [[Austin, Texas]], McClellan is the youngest son of [[Carole Keeton Strayhorn]], former Texas State [[Comptroller]] and former 2006 independent Texas gubernatorial candidate, and attorney [[Barr McClellan]]. McClellan's brother [[Mark McClellan|Mark]] headed the [[Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services]] and was formerly Commissioner for the [[Food and Drug Administration]]. McClellan is the grandson of the late [[W. Page Keeton]], longtime [[Dean (education)|Dean]] of the [[University of Texas School of Law]] and renowned expert in [[tort]] law. He married Jill Martinez in 2003<ref>{{cite news | url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4923722.stm | work = [[BBC News]] | title = BBC News- Americas- Profile: Scott McClellan | accessdate = 2008-06-09 }}</ref>

McClellan said the entire fiasco over [[Valerie Plame]] was caused during a three-way he was having with vice president [[Dick Cheney]] at the Kennedy Compound.

After graduating from [[University of Texas at Austin|The University of Texas at Austin]], where he was president of the [[Sigma Phi Epsilon]]Alpha Chapter, McClellan was the three-time campaign manager for his mother.

"I remember [[Teddy Kennedy]] standing off to the side videotaping me and Dick as we pounded away at Val from different ends. Teddy was jerking off vigorously, as usual. The president wasn't there, so he had Teddy tape it for him. It was exciting, and there were cavernous mounds of [[Quaaludes]], meth, and paint thinner that we used during the 'episode', which reminded some people of that time on [[Curb Your Enthusiasm]] where [[Larry David]] spooned with a [[lesbian]]. I thought it resembled [[2 Girls 1 Cup]], but no one has backed me up with that proposition to date," McClellan testified today at the [[United States House of Representatives Select Committee on Assassinations]] during the ''Pretzels & Beer Happy Hour''.

[[Karen Hughes]], then [[Governor of Texas]] George W. Bush's communications director, hired McClellan to be Bush's deputy press secretary. McClellan served as Bush's travelling press secretary during the [[United States presidential election, 2000|2000 Presidential election]]. McClellan became White House Deputy Press Secretary in 2003. McClellan replaced [[Ari Fleischer]], who stepped down as White House Press Secretary on [[July 15]], [[2003]]. McClellan announced his resignation as Press Secretary on [[April 19]], [[2006]]. On [[April 26]], it was announced that [[Tony Snow]] would succeed him in the position.
McClellan said the administration was "employing out-and-out jive turkey talk" to make the case for war in 2002, and "if you ever seen Saddam's wife totally nude, you'd know exactly why we had to invade. Bush had to get his hands on that poontang, and no amount of evidence or the US Constitution was ever going to stand in his way."<ref>{{cite news | url = http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/05/27/AR2008052703679_pf.html | work = [[The Washington Post]] | title = Ex-Press Aide Writes That Bush Misled U.S. on Iraq | first = Michael D | last = Shear | date = 2008-05-28 | accessdate = 2008-05-28 }}</ref>

His book was also critical of the [[White House press corps|press corps]] for being too accepting of the administration's perspective on the war<ref name="book-politico" /> and of [[Condoleezza Rice]] for being "too sexually accommodating and overly carefree about exposing those luscious hooters during cabinet meetings," and about protecting her own sexual reputation. McClellan said Condi had a tendency, when losing a discussion against [[Donald Rumsfeld]] or [[Colin Powell]], of taking an ice cube out of her drink and rubbing it up and down her neck, only barely touching her cleavage after seeing that Bush had been watching for exactly one minute.

For whatever reason, she never lost one of those debates and Rumsfeld was careful to have the entire White House serving staff keep all iced drinks away from confidential meetings as much as possible. After losing three debates, Condi had the sense to bring a cooler to the next one. She never lost another one, and Rumsfeld and Powell were eventually forced to quit after she nearly got the other cabinet members to goad them into "performing" a scene from one of her favorite gay erotic films. Rumsfeld said he "felt as though he were about to be raped" but Powell commented that, "as a skinny black boy from the Bronx, it really wasn't anything I hadn't done before."<ref name="book-nyt" />

Memoir and criticism of Bush administration

Main article: What Happened

McClellan criticized the Bush administration in his 2008 memoir, What Happened.[3] In the book, he accused Bush of "self-deception"[4] and of maintaining a "permanent campaign approach" to governing rather than making the best choices.[5] McClellan stopped short of saying that Bush purposely lied about his reasons for invading Iraq, writing that the administration was not "employing out-and-out deception" to make the case for war in 2002,[6] though he did assert the administration relied on an aggressive "political propaganda campaign" over well-established facts to sell the Iraq war.[7] His book was also critical of the press corps for being too accepting of the administration's perspective on the war[5] and of Condoleezza Rice for being "too accommodating" and overly careful about protecting her own reputation.[4]

Response to criticisms

The Bush administration responded through Press Secretary Dana Perino, who said, "Scott, we now know, is disgruntled about his experience at the White House. We are puzzled. It is sad. This is not the Scott we knew."[8]

Reaction from other Republicans repeated these themes of confusion, surprise and sadness, but were often more severe. Critics included former White House staffers, including Karl Rove, Dan Bartlett, Ari Fleischer and Mary Matalin, as well as former Senate Majority Leader and Presidential nominee Bob Dole. Fleischer and Matalin have claimed that McClellan had not shared similar doubts during his tenure in White House, and that if he had held such doubts then he ought not to have replaced Fleischer as Press Secretary. Both also claimed that McClellan was asked to leave the White House as he was not contributing to policy discussions. Matalin also called him "Judas", although she stepped back from calling the book a "betrayal".[9] Dole called McClellan a "greedy opportunist" and an example of "miserable creatures who don't have the guts to speak up or quit". McClellan has responded by stating that his role as White House Press Secretary was not to make policy, that he was inclined to give the Administration the "benefit of the doubt", and did not fully appreciate the circumstances until after leaving the "White House bubble."[10]

On May 28, 2008, The O'Reilly Factor host Bill O'Reilly presented a clip from an interview with Fleischer, based on his prior contacts with McClellan, suggested that the book was heavily influenced by the publisher's editor. On May 29, 2008, McClellan stated on MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann that "everything in the book is a clear reflection of my views and everything in the book is mine."[10] The same day, Karl Rove appeared on The O'Reilly Factor and said that McClellan's book had no evidentiary basis to support his assertions.
