Ouch!

Looks like Bob Dole is back to his beloved acid tongue and Darth Vader persona. And I personally could not be happier.

A portion of the letter he sent to Scott McClellan (Courtesy Politico):

“There are miserable creatures like you in every administration who don’t have the guts to speak up or quit if there are disagreements with the boss or colleagues,” Dole wrote in a message sent yesterday morning. “No, your type soaks up the benefits of power, revels in the limelight for years, then quits, and spurred on by greed, cashes in with a scathing critique.”

Michael Marshall, Dole’s spokesman and colleague at the Alston Bird law firm, confirms the message came from the former senator and presidential candidate. “Yes, it is authentic,” Marshall wrote in an email.

This is the type of old-school ass-whupping that McCain and his comrades-in-arms in the Rockefeller Wing of the GOP need oh so so badly.
