Hey, guess what! McCurry can now tell the truth! He refuses to say that his old boss, the perjurer, is fit for office!

McCurry doubts Clinton's
fitness for office


Mike McCurry: "Flabbergasted that he could be so reckless"

The former White House press spokesman, Mike
McCurry, says he has "enormous doubts" about
President Bill Clinton's fitness for office.

Mr McCurry told the BBC's Newsnight
programme President Clinton's
behaviour was "surely reckless" and
"contrary to the way you would expect
a rational human being to behave".

Asked whether he thought Mr Clinton was fit to be
president, Mr McCurry, who had maintained his silence
on presidential issues since his resignation in October,
said: "I have enormous doubts because of the
recklessness of his behaviour.

"The nature of this particular affair and then the way he
did conceal it really does raise some very profound
troubling matters.

"I feel the way most Americans and
probably his own wife do: Deeply
disappointed, and hurt and a bit
flabbergasted that he could be so
reckless," said Mr McCurry.

Reliance on denial

Asked about the president's sex life, he said people
close to Mr Clinton had spent a year relying on what
appeared to be a direct denial of scandal.

"I did not believe that there was a tortured definition of
sex lurking behind that denial," said Mr McCurry.

"I couldn't imagine that he would put himself in that kind
of jeopardy when there was a whole army of inquisitors
out there," he added.

The former spokesman said that direct conversation on
the Monica Lewinsky affair had been avoided to prevent
presidential aides being subpoenaed.

But Mr McCurry said he had been assured by the
president that "everything would turn out alright".

He said that he had preferred to remain "unknowing"
rather than give the press information that night be
unreliable.
