The proverbial throwing under the bus of Forty Three: early, late, or right on time?

McClellan was clearly a bit ahead of the curve, but it looks like we're getting a bit of momentum here:

"It allowed everybody to believe that this Sarah Palin-like president — because, let's face it, that's what he was — was going to be protected by this national-security elite, tested in the cauldrons of fire," Wilkerson said.

Did you expect the slagfest to begin this early, or are you surprised most former Bush aides have held their tongues as long as they have?

    I am really surprised that they have not waited until they could get book deals like McClellan.

    The only question I have for anyone seeking to distance themselves from Bush is - why wait until now?

    Thousands of American lives could have been saved had they has the courage to speak up early.

    Maybe he should have said something sooner if he wasn't on board with the president. He's early, but I guess he's trying to beat someone else to the punch.
