Weezilling

In typical "political school of Colin Powell" fashion, Scott McClellan is waffling on his block buster assertion that Bush lied about the Plame outing:

But as Holly Rosenkrantz and Ken Fireman wrote for Bloomberg last week: "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.

"'[Bush] 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.'"

Unfortunately this statement is believable. I can just see Rover and/or Cheney (think Charley McCarthy)prompting Bush to pass on misinformation to McClellan.

Meanwhile, in other news, Cheney went in to have his sociopathetic-Frankenstein heart shocked yesterday. That should make him good for another 20,000 lies.
