McClellan disclosure now on the front page on MSNBC!
Edited on Wed Nov-21-07 01:22 AM by usregimechange


WASHINGTON - Former White House press secretary Scott McClellan blames President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for efforts to mislead the public about the role of White House aides in leaking the identity of a CIA operative.

In an excerpt from his forthcoming book, McClellan recount the 2003 news conference in which he told reporters that aides Karl Rove and I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby were "not involved" in the leak involving operative Valerie Plame.

"There was one problem. It was not true," McClellan writes, according to a brief excerpt released Monday. "I had unknowingly passed along false information. And five of the highest-ranking officials in the administration were involved in my doing so: Rove, Libby, the vice president, the president's chief of staff and the president himself."

3. Contact your congressman, they can subpoena McClellan
and we can get to the bottom of this and really have teeth for impeachment.

6. I noticed it was a lead on Chris Matthews, TWO segments on Olbermann,
followed by Dan Abrams, and then CNN - Rich Sanchez, I think, led with it, also. Hopefully it will remain that way, from here on. Several guests on some of these shows said the Dems would be crazy not to pick this up and run with it.

But of course, we've got to keep our powder dry...

8. Ha! "Ex-spokesman turns on Bush". Just what I expect from the M$M.
Yeah, he should have kept quiet about the lies. Right. :eyes: I guess 'exposes' is just too harsh for their paymasters.
