1. A promo blurb on Pappy from the link

Barr McClellan is a respected attorney, who represented President Lyndon Johnson and his interests from 1966 through 1971.

He served primarily through Texas power attorney Edward Clark and Johnson business attorney Don Thomas, advising on political strategy, campaign contributions, attorney-client privilege issues, television and labor disputes.

He was also personal attorney for Clark in seeking an assassination bonus from Big Oil interests in Dallas, an effort that included two major lawsuits.

A practicing attorney representing many of the major energy companies in Texas in many key cases, McClellan also obtained a Supreme Court ruling to protect parklands from freeways.

Other notable cases included litigation for exploding Ford Pintos, tobacco-caused cancer expenses on the health system, licensing and regulation of cell phones, union-management disputes, and several business tort cases.

5. Read about his book, LBJ responsible for JFK killing

Very interesting stuff in there, please take the time to read through the info!

Thanks for posting this.

2. The "pick yourself up by your own bootstraps" gang.

Why can't any of these "pick yourself up by your own bootstraps" conservatives get their own jobs? Seriously- Michael Powell, Bush Jr., McClellan...

3. I'm pretty sure that Scotty's brother is an FDA administrator.

When the Mad cow scare began he was on talking about the safety of US beef.

4. He's "conversant in Spanish"

Oye, Senor McClellan!! Tu hijo es un sin verguenza, tirando tantas mentiras cada dia, ay dios mio, no lo puedo suportar. Ademas me parace un big fat idiot.

6. And Meet Scotty's Mommy

She has her sights set on replacing Governor Goodhair (Rick PERRY, he of the TX redistricting-Tom DeLAY theft). But before Scott gets over his post-traumatic-stress-disorder from the crumbling Shrub regime, there will have to be sessions between him and mommy around the question, "How come Brother got the cushy FDA job, while I got this hellhole press secty job for Shrub? Did you like Brother better?"

Maybe she'll "go Hispanic" for the Hispanic vote: Carole Keeton McClellan Rylander Strayhorn-GONZALEZ MARTINEZ BUSTAMANTE.

Now that Carole Keeton McClellan Rylander Strayhorn has remarried (again), do you suppose they'll rename 26th Street to match?



Kika, technically the street is named after her father, former Dean of the UT Law School. But I've always figured it was really named in tribute to Carole K.M.R.S. and if she weren't a powerful politician, UT and the city could've found somebody else to name it after.

She is married to Ed Strayhorn, the founder and president of the oldest tennis court construction business in Texas. Mr. Strayhorn also is an accomplished jewelry designer whose works are on display in galleries across America.

They are the proud parents of five grown sons, and proud grandparents of four young granddaughters.

Her son, Scott McClellan is the new White House Press Secretary.

8. Actually, 26th St Is Just "Dean Keeton St"

The "Keeton McCLELLAN RYLANDER STRAYHORN" part is, indeed, Carole's collection of surnames, but just a joke at the street named in political sychophancy for her father, Dean KEETON.
