In true form the Bush Regime sent their relentless mouthpiece, Scott McClellan, out to spin the truth for the usually attentive White House Press Corps, only to find the sleeping bear has stirred yet again.

This time the Whitehouse has not denied that the President authorized the leaking of former covert CIA operative Vallerie Plame’s identity. Bush did it. He is responsible. However, McClellan insists the reason was because it was “in the public interest”.

The Bush administration must think the American People are pretty stupid. Consider all they have managed to quell - 2 Downing Street memos and a fake, yet expensive, war that is now in the toilet.

Bush authorized that leak because he was being vindictive towards Plame’s husband for publishing an article that revealed his lies about a made-up Iraqi yellow cake deal that pushed us into war. Bush just rolled over Joe Wilson and, in essense, put his wife in great danger. Where is the public interest?

The CBS headline is “The leak-hater is the leaker.” Where I grew up the saying goes, “The smeller’s the feller.” Looks like it’s going to take the Bush Regime some time to clear the air with this one.
