Sam, the gentleman's credibility on many of his factual assertions has been directly challenged. Further, his words have been characterized, by many in the press and on the side of the Loyal Opposition, as standing for the proposition that the Bush admin fucked up royally. So, first, his tendency to say what he perceives as being needed to best serve his current situation is very relevant right now as he sells his book and finances his retirement, and, second, the "screeching" is as much against the Brad DeLongs and Kevin Drums of the world drawing their conclusions for the benefit of their election spin as for the actual existence of Clarkes words. You know this.

How odd, that you would so lightly impugn the credibility of a Republican (ex-)government official. I thought you were disinclined to call people liars, but I guess that only cuts one way.
And how odd that only those on other side of the political spectrum "draw[] their conclusions for the benefit of their election spin." Come to think of it, that's just like calling them liars, isn't it? We already know that Kevin Drum is a "whore," not that we need any basis for that or anything, so maybe it's a short step to call him a "liar" too.
