Face The Music Dance Man
It looks like the White House press corps finally got over their bout of laryngitis that plagued them yesterday morning. Scott McClellan was grilled like a cheese sandwich over statements he had made in 2003, however, I'm still searching for the actual questions and answers from today's blue plate special:
Do you ever wonder what the inside of McClellan's stomach looks like? I picture it riddled with ulcers from the lie's he upholds, rotting from the inside out. How he keeps his composure, speaking with a straight face to the press corps is beyond me. I fully expect a complete nervous breakdown, followed by immediate pants wetting.
White House Faces Barrage of Leak Queries
In a tense briefing, White House spokesman Scott McClellan was asked repeatedly to explain his statement from three years ago that portions of a prewar intelligence document on Iraq were declassified on July 18, 2003.
Ten days earlier, Cheney's top aide had leaked snippets of intelligence from the document to New York Times reporter Judith Miller in order to rebut allegations by Bush administration critic Joseph Wilson, the aide has told prosecutors according to documents revealed this week.
I. Lewis Libby, Cheney's former chief of staff, said he had passed the information to Miller after being told to do so by Cheney, who advised Libby that Bush had authorized it, stated a court filing by Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald.
McClellan told reporters on July 18, 2003, that the material being released on Iraq "was officially declassified today." On Friday, McClellan interpreted his own words to mean that's when the material was "officially released."
Asked when it was declassified, McClellan refused to answer, saying that the matter was part of Fitzgerald's ongoing CIA leak probe that has resulted in Libby's indictment.
After checking with Libby and presidential adviser Karl Rove, McClellan said in 2003 that neither aide was involved in the leak of the CIA identity of Wilson's wife. Rove remains under investigation in the leak probe.

I sure as hell don't feel sorry for him. He get's paid with taxpayers dollars to mislead and lie to us. He knows what his job is and he accepted it. He's an enabler.
