Bush cabal unmasked (yet again)

The House of Bush just keeps on imploding.

Remember Scott McClellan who used to be the White House spokesman? Well, it looks like the man has a conscience.

An excerpt from his upcoming book ("What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and What's Wrong With Washington") has just been released. In the excerpt, McClelland says that he was duped about the Valerie Plame Wilson CIA leak by the top echelon of the White House. He writes that he "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.'' They made a fool of McClellan: "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. There was one problem. It was not true."

I believe we are talking about felonies (defrauding the government) in the White House. Let's hope that Congress will have the intestinal fortitude to subpoena the text of McClellan's book right now.

Oh, by the way, let's not forget that Libby was sentenced to 30 months in prison and Bush commuted the sentence. Hmm, I wonder why.
