Politico has obtained an e-mail sent yesterday from Bob Dole to Scott McClellan. Dole empties both barrels at McClellan, calling him, among other things, a "miserable creature."
The former senator and presidential candidate isn't generally known as a firebrand politician, although he has come under fire for his temper before in the press. When he gets fired up, he gets fired up. He has a reputation for sharp wit, and as Jonathan Martin notes, he was in rare form in the e-ssault. Here's an excerpt from Politico:
"In my nearly 36 years of public service I've known of a few like you," Dole writes, recounting his years representing Kansas in the House and Senate. "No doubt you will 'clean up' as the liberal anti-Bush press will promote your belated concerns with wild enthusiasm. When the money starts rolling in you should donate it to a worthy cause, something like, 'Biting The Hand That Fed Me.' Another thought is to weasel your way back into the White House if a Democrat is elected. That would provide a good set up for a second book deal in a few years"
As Bob Dole himself might say "Bob Dole doesn't like you, Scott McClellan." Not. Even. A little.
