“Trivial Policy Ideas”

By: emptywheel Sunday June 8, 2008 9:50 am

Scottie McC may have written a book that confirms what we DFH bloggers have been saying for years. But make no mistake. Scottie McC is still deeply in denial about how bad–and dishonest–a President George Bush is.

Waxman Closing in on Dick Cheney for Outing Valerie Wilson

Oops. Someone mis-read my post and asked Dana “Pig Missile” Perino whether Scottie McC really had said Bush authorized the leak of Plame’s identity.

But oddly, Pig Missile doesn’t deny that Bush authorized the leak. She only denies (correctly) that Scottie McC said it.

George Bush Authorized the Leak of Valerie Wilson’s Identity

By: emptywheel Thursday May 29, 2008 7:08 am
