Scott McClellan is the alter boy who finally realizes he's been sexually abused by his beloved priest.
He is the person raised as a true believer who discovers his guru was lying to him all along ... and using him ... and then mocking him.
He's the kid in junior high who gets suckered by the smart kids into carrying their water and then made fun of ... the humiliation is deep and lasting.
Scott was dumb enough to believe in George W. Bush ... well past the time when there was enough evidence to discredit the president ... but rose colored glasses are not easily removed from someone like Scott. It took a brutal act of betrayal ... on the part of people Scott looked up to and trusted ... Rove, Libby, and Cheney.
It takes time to assimilate this profound betrayal within one's psyche. Then there is the act of catharsis ... Scott wrote a book. Others go out and shoot somebody.
There is nothing puzzling about this. It fits the facts on the ground.
