Lies in high places

Oh my goodness. this is from Scott McClellan's new book:

"The most powerful leader in the world had called upon me to speak on his behalf and help restore credibility he lost amid the failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq," writes McClellan. "So I stood at the White house briefing room podium in front of the glare of the klieg lights for the better part of two weeks and publicly exonerated two of the senior-most aides in the White House: Karl Rove and Scooter Libby."

But his press performances weren't based on the facts, McClellan continues.

"There was one problem. It was not true," he writes. "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."

Of course, we knew it all along. But now McClellan has admitted it.

Wonder if anything is going to come of this or will the Democrats just shrug and do nothing as usual?

Read about it right here.

  1. My guess? The Dems will continue to look the other way. Sadly. :(
