Yes, McClellan said the same but the right is backtracking, worried that it may yet be Rove. The upside for Bush? Gonzales, Mr. Halliburton, Mr. Torture-is-OK, seems ready to be shooed in. Now THAT's political genius and Democratic spinelessness yet again. Dems could demand an O'Connor conservative but they'll ok someone less horrendous than Owens or Brown. I'll tell ya HAL is the model for the new american corporation. Incompetent, thieving, lying but with a VP, a SC Justice and lots of Congressmen in their pay. Who cares about the hard slog of getting individual americans to vote your way? BUY A POLITICIAN. It's the best ROI on the planet. ======================== "...Americablog found this gem from presidential mouthpiece Scottie McClellan, speaking at a White House press briefing in September of 2003, where he makes it clear that if anyone at the White House leaked Plame's identity he or she should be fired and “pursued to the fullest extent by the Department of Justice”: “That is not the way this White House operates. The President expects everyone in his administration to adhere to the highest standards of conduct. No one would be authorized to do such a thing.” And later: “The President believes leaking classified information is a very serious matter.” Hmm. Notice Scottie doesn't split hairs a la Luskin and say the issue is whether someone "knowingly" leaked the information. Indeed, when asked whether a White House leaker should “lose their job”, Scottie lays down the law -- repeating it twice for emphasis: “At a minimum… At a minimum.”..." news.yahoo.com
