What? You mean the president was....lying?

So easy to hate Scott McClellan when he was up there for the daily press briefings stonewalling the spineless Washington press elite.

So easy to like him now.

And who among you are surprised?

Placing Plame

No doubt, the vicious, repetitive, ill-informed right-wing punditry will be out in full force today to dismiss the 60 Minutes interview with Valerie Plame.

But one thing has become unavoidably clear. The man, who as recently as this weekend, has been pledging to keep nukes out of the hands of Iran, was the same man who outed Valerie Plame, a CIA agent, whose main mission was to keep nukes out of the hands of Iran.

A man like Dick Cheney, so committed to keeping the world safe from nuclear weapons, must have been mighty pissed to pull the trigger on one of the most effective operations working toward that goal. He must have been so angry as to go, well, nuclear.

A man of his word

Who knew that language mangler George Bush was actually is such control of his words.

At the beginning of the Valerie Plame scandal, he promised this:
"If the person has violated the law, the person will be taken care of."

Damned, if he wasn't telling the truth about folks like Scooter Libby.

Let's connect the dots

If Scooter Libby hadn't helped to discredit Joe Wilson by outing Valerie Plame, then George Bush might not have been able to make his case about yellow cake uranium, allowing him to convince the world, and particularly Congress that we should go to war, and this guy wouldn't have had to go to jail.

We are about to hear a lot of stories about folks in jail as a result of Scooter's evil manipulations as ordered by Dick Cheney.
