All the President's Liars


From the Huffington Post,

Former White House press secretary Scott McClellan blames President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for efforts to mislead the public about the role of White House aides in leaking the identity of a CIA operative.
All the presidential candidates are reacting and this is providing an opportunity for Republicans to distance themselves from Bush. So far, Huckabee is the only Republican who has, reminding voters that he isn't a "Washington insider". Oh, and Chuck Norris approves!

Of course, this latest revelation about the Bush administration comes on the eve of Thanksgiving when no one is paying attention. Just like when Bush commuted Lewis "Scooter" Libby's sentence on July 2nd right before the public went on vacation for the 4th of July holiday. These guys sure know how to strategically time their "bad news" items. I wonder what they are holding for Christmas this year.

So if there are people in control who determined when this got released, why would they let it get released at all?

The timing of removing Gonzales & commuting Scooter, I can see... but I'm not sure about this one.
