Does this really have to do with Scottie’s conscience or $$$$$?

The two aren’t mutually exclusive. McClellan destroyed his livelihood in trying to cleanse his conscience; he had no choice but to make money off a book. You’re unwittingly echoing the “aha!” argument of the media and Republicans here.

Will the American public (the whole world is watching) be left with a system (a congress, justice system) that holds a President accountable for lying under oath about a bj, and then allows the Bush administration to get away with shoving a WMD intelligence snowjob down the throats of Americans via the MSM that has resulted in the unnecessary deaths of Americans and Iraqi people? Will our Justice system and congress allow the Bush administration to get away with declassifying and outing a NOC/Plame/Wilson?

This is the system we are supposed to have respect for? Some of us are just peasants but we are watching and so are our children. What a perverted, twisted and dangerous message.

i have been away for far too long,
and i appear here, far too late — way
way down in EPU-topia — but i’ve
decided to help us all recall what
george bush sr. — bush 41 — had
to say to us (not long after his own
son pardoned scooter libby, for some
of the above crimes) about people like. . .

his son, and dick cheney, apparently.

take a look — a one minute video clip,
from my own july 2007 archives. . .

and, keep on keepin’ on!

way to go, EW!

745-plus diggs!

Fitzy knows that Libby is a lying sack of shit.
Fitzy knows that Rove is a lying sack of shit.
Fitzy knows that Cheney is a lying sack of shit.
Fitzy knows that Bush is a lying sack of shit.

McClellan said that he presented everything in the book to the Grand Jury.
So from the git go, Rove and Libby lied, lied, lied to cover-up.

It begs the question… why wasn’t Rove indicated for making false statements.

Fitzy is the only person who knows the entire truth with documentation.
He needs to pull a Elliot Richardson, resign, tell all, and lay it in Congress’s hands.

As Archie Cox said: “Whether ours shall continue to be a government of laws and not of men is now for Congress and ultimately the American people.”

If Scotty can do it, Fitzy can do it.
This letter puts things in perspective

To the Editor:

Re “I Knew It All Along” (editorial, May 29):

I disagree that Scott McClellan has written a “self-serving” book. The position of press secretary to the president is self-serving from the start. Every individual who accepts this position knows that he or she must be the president’s mouthpiece, right or wrong.

What Mr. McClellan has done with the publication of his book is courageous, knowing that he would face every moralizing repercussion conceivable in helping us understand how far this administration was willing to go in its self-serving treachery. It’s not so much “I knew it all along” as it is “we the people need to know.”
