    He was such a highly respected member of the team though -- the spokesman.


    Are you sure he is just lying for money?

    You seriously think Scott McClellan would make this **** up? For money? For any reason?

    You have zero credibility, basso. Zero. Why? Because it matters not what anyone says, in or out of the Administration, Republican or not, close advisor to the President or not, career military brass or not... you come up with a throw away crap line so you can continue your fantasy about your hero, Mr. Bush.

    Pathetic.

    Impeach Bush for Creating Idiots.

    John Gibson of Falsenews: White House deserves medal for outing Plame

    http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=c27_1195862987

    A medal? A MEDAL? Medal of Honourable Treason?
    I also like the part on purging the anti-Bush wing of the CIA.

    how disgusting. The propaganda in that piece is amazing. The one piece in his logic that is perhaps the most glaring, and seems to be one that he basis his logic on, is that it is the CIA's job to support the president's ideas for policy, rather than find the actual facts and report those.

    Scott McClellan testifies today under oath. --

    Former aide: Bush should tell all on CIA leak

    A former White House spokesman told Congress on Friday that President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney wanted him to say that Cheney's chief of staff wasn't involved in the leak of Valerie Plame's CIA identity, an assertion that turned out to be false.

    --------------

    But he had harsh words for the White House, suggesting that the administration is continuing a cover up of the Plame case.

    "This White House promised or assured the American people that at some point when this was behind us they would talk publicly about it," he said. "And they have refused to.

    no, it didn't, but nice try.

    we all now know that Richard Armitage "leaked" plame's name. and isn't it interesting that nothing's happened to him.

    you can keep spreading the lies marky, but fitzmas will never come.

    McClellan is a day late and a dollar short. Why won't he testify for other Bush Admin crimes we don't know about?

    Bush Claims Executive Privilege In Valerie Plame Leak

    WASHINGTON — President Bush has asserted executive privilege to prevent Attorney General Michael Mukasey from having to comply with a House panel subpoena for material on the leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity.

    A House committee chairman, meanwhile, held off on a contempt citation of Mukasey _ who had requested the privilege claim _ but only as a courtesy to lawmakers not present.

    Among the documents sought by House Oversight Chairman Henry Waxman are FBI interviews of Vice President Dick Cheney.

    They also include notes about the 2003 State of the Union address, during which President Bush made the case for invading Iraq in part by saying Saddam Hussein was pursuing uranium ore to make a nuclear weapon. That information turned out to be wrong.

    Waxman rejected Mukasey's suggestion that Cheney's FBI interview on the CIA leak should be protected by the privilege claim _ and therefore not turned over to the panel.

    "We'll act in the reasonable and appropriate period of time," Waxman, D-Calif., said. But he made clear that he thinks Mukasey has earned a contempt citation and that he'd schedule a vote on the matter soon.

    Can Bush pardon himself before leaving office? I'm assuming he can't, but if he can, you can bet that he will.

    What a corrupt, morally bankrupt President. What a disgrace to the nation. What a joke of a man. The ultimate expression of the Peter Principal. Everyone who helped him get selected and elected should hang their heads in shame, IMO.




    Impeach Bush/Nixon... I mean Cheney.

    Bush can, claiming executive privilege. Remember by definition, it is legal if Bush does it.

    BTW, I doubt that Bush will pardon himself, since he deeply believes that he has done no wrong.

    What are you referring to? I'm sure you aren't talking about the false reports of vandalism, and stealing the silverware or whatever those silly stories were.

    Yes it was shown to be wrong. IT would be nice if you got the basic facts correct.
