What's Up With What Happened ?








I gotta say I’m having a problem with the title of the new book out by Scott McClellan, the former press secretary of President Bush.

What Happened? A multimillion dollar book deal about a major presidential scandal--a book that reveals the propoganda campaign that sent the US to war and describes McClellan's role in disseminating false information and What Happened is the best the folks at Public Affairs publishing could come up with? This plaintive and yawn-inducing snoozer of a name?

Looks like it's up to me to propose some alternative titles for Scott McClellan's book. After all the American public has been through, it's the least I can do. And so, in keeping with my patriotic duty, I give you the following:


Alternate Titles for Scott McClellan's Book:

A Series of Unfortunate Events

The Audacity of Audacity

Incurious George

Lacking President

The Purpose-Driven Lie

FOX and the Hounds of Hell

The Gripes of Wrath

Whaddya know, Al Franken, Even More Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them

The Soundbite and the Fury

Eat. Prey. Lie

“I’m Just Sayin’”

Escape From Crony Island

Spillin’ It

Weapons of Mass Deception

Inside the Fright House

Asses of Evil

Bush is a Soul-sucking Skank

  1. By asking this question he's taking the onus off of himself and putting it....where? I know where it should be put. I'm sorry you had to read this book. Love the alternate titles--total Simone style. More like, Wha Hahppened?
