McClellan's Publisher Tries to Clear Bush, But What About Cheney?

Bloomberg reports:

McClellan doesn't suggest that Bush deliberately lied to him about Libby's and Rove's involvement in the leak, said Peter Osnos, founder and editor-in-chief of Public Affairs Books, which is publishing McClellan's memoir next year.

``He told him something that wasn't true, but the president didn't know it wasn't true,'' Osnos said in a telephone interview. ``The president told him what he thought to be the case.''

In an interview with CNN in March, McClellan said he had said what he ``believed to be true at the time'' and ``it was also what the president believed to be true at the time, based on assurances that we were both given.''

He said he spoke directly with Rove and Libby. Referring to press briefings he gave in 2003 denying Rove and Libby's involvement, McClellan told CNN: ``Knowing what I know today, I would have never said that back then.''

Fine. Bush is playing the imbecile card. What about Cheney? We already knew he coordinated this crime. Is there new redundant evidence of that here? Why does no one ask?

1. I was going to ask : do they think we're stupid ?

Then I realized, they do....:evilfrown:

2. Well, WE (here at DU) may not be that easy to fool, but middle America and Congress

seem to fall for the same crap time and time again.

So treating the whole country as stupid would just be playing the odds.

We're never going to get out of this mess until a lot more people start paying attention.

3. You're right

and time is not on our side.....
