The right coined the term 'Clintonesque'. So, is the following exchange 'Bush League'?

QUESTION: So none of them told any reporter that Valerie Plame worked for the CIA?

MCCLELLAN: They assured me that they were not involved in this.

QUESTION: Can I follow up on that?

QUESTION: They were not involved in what?

MCCLELLAN: The leaking of classified information.


I agree with your assessment that this virtually acknowledges that Rove et al DID speak to the press about Plame's identity. Their defense will likely be that they did not believe they were breaking the law. They'll have to convince the authorities that they believed that Plame was a CIA analyst, and not an agent.

Shameful evasion by McClellan, but that's his job. I'll bet Ari is laughing his ass off right about now, having jumped from this burning ship in the nick of time...
