The noise machine message about Scott McClellan's memoir is that he sounds like a left-wing blogger (Karl Rove when it first hit the papers), or that it sounds like a Democrat wrote it (Robert Novak in today's Washington Post).
Another way of saying the same thing would be that a Bush insider has written a memoir confirming the accuracy of the Democrats' and left-wing bloggers' view of the Bush Administration.
