"DovBear" on Scott McClellan: Thursday, May 04, 2006

DovBear:

Why do I call Scotty Sqealer? It's a referance to Animal Farm, the book by George Orwell, in which a pig named Squealer is described as a manipulator and persuader who could turn black into white. It's his job to justify everythng the tyrants do.

Michael Wolff

He's Piggy in Lord of the Flies: a living victim, whose reason for being is, apparently, to shoulder public ridicule and pain (or, come to think of it, he's Squealer from Animal Farm).
