Scott McClellan

I guess McClellan only endorsed Obama because he was a fellow black man. Bet you didn't know McClellan was black - did ya?

You can watch it live here. From the opening questions, I can kind of see how the Republicans are starting to frame this. They are going on the premise that Robert Novak leaked Plame's name. The question to these Republicans should be, "what was Robert Novak's security clearance at the time of the article?" We all know the answer to that - none. It just shows how far these Republicans are willing to go to distort the facts when our national security has been compromised and one of our spies has been outed. Why do they hate America so much?

McClellan has agreed to testify to Congress about the CIA leak case. I bet there are a ton of "oh shits" being heard around D.C. tonight.

Amazing how fast things are changing. Richard Clarke was on Hardball last night saying that Scott McClellan has apologized to him for smearing him years ago.

Truly an amazing turn of events, and something I am sure the White House is livid over.

(h/t Think Progress)

McClellan sat down with Keith Olbermann last night and told him what all of us conspiracy theorist, freedom hating, unpatriotic bloggers knew - Bush planned on going to war with Iraq after 9/11 and nothing was stopping that, even if they had to "repackage" intelligence to sell the war.

Time to reopen that investigation now that Scott McClellan has admitted Bush authorized the leak of Valerie Plame's identity. I know what the right wing spin will be; "Well he's the President, he can declassify what he wants, when he wants", but them why the big investigation? Why not come out and say "I did and and I'm allowed to", instead of costing tax payers millions in this investigation?

Even after Scooter got his "get out of jail free" card from Bush, the case continues to get more interesting. Scott McClellan is set to have his memoirs hit the shelves in April and it includes juicy information like this:

"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."

So we now have someone who was very high up in the White House admitting involvement by the President in a case involving the ousting of a CIA agent. Of course the White House will start using the "disgruntled employee" line of defense, but perhaps it is time for Congress to seriously look into this matter. Or will we just set a precedent for committing treason in this country?
