Scott McClellan's tell-all book was more hurtful to his own reputation than it was to Bush's. As secretary, his job was to aid Bush's office and in a PR position, speak up if necessary. Instead, he was allegedly a lamb in a pin of wolves. By not performing his role and being visibly coddled by Bush, whatever he said after the fact discredits his entire office. Even his statements seemed to be completely biased opinions. McClellan failed both ethical responsibilities: both to his boss and to the public.
Even if the public were concerned about the ethics regarding Bush, like his relying "on propaganda to sell the Iraq War," the no-factual backing of McClellan's gossip is just that- gossip.
