...abilities might not be as bad as they seemed. In April of 2007, Scott McClellan reappeared on “Real Time with Bill Maher”—a private citizen, but still Bush’s proxy—to go head-to-head with former Sen. Bill Bradley. Repeatedly asked to lay out the rationale for the catastrophic war in Iraq, the once-and-future spokesman stammered back: “No, let me talk about where we are right now…We can do—we went in—we went in?...

"I thought, given that this is a presidential season, and that Sen. Obama is a member of the church, there was going to be some type of fallout. I didn't know the exact nature of it," Hopkins says.
