#1 It wasn't Rove, et al who leaked Valerie Plame's name. It was that gossipy idiot over at the CIA. He finally admitted it after Scooter Libby was convicted and sentenced for not admitting to things he hadn't done. If a little housewife in the wilds of the Midwestern exurbs knows that much than surely Mr. McClellen, who for so long strode the halls of power, should know it, too. Which makes his protests at this late date more than a little disingenuous.

#2 He's just trying to pronounce "Shibboleth" for his new paymasters.

#3 PLAME WAS NOT IN A COVERED POSITION THEREFORE SHE WAS NOT COVERT!

There was NO CRIME, and the investigation showed it.

The only "crime" was Libby having a different version from those of the reporters.

THERE WAS NO CRIME COMMITTED ABOUT THE TRAITOROUS BITCH PLAME.

#4 Just for amusement, dear Richard Armitage on CNN explaining what an idiot he was to spill the beans. link

I find it extraordinarily difficult to understand how a clever man like Mr. McClellan was unaware of this development. Surely he gets cable!

#5 Clever? McClellan never impressed me as clever. A dull dolt, perhaps, but not clever.

#6 Scooter Libby was not convicted for leaking Valerie Plame's name. He wasn't even charged for it.

He was charged with and convicted for perjury: lying to the FBI agents and prosecutors. And he did, and he got caught, and he deserved to be convicted.

Richard Armitage should have been charged, but that wouldn't have fitted the NYT narrative. So he got to skate, as did Colin Powell.

#7 McClellan is getting schooled by Novak today.

I think only now he is realizing how much of an idiot he has made of himself at the urgings of Soros' minions.

#8 It appears McClellan's original submission had a somewhat different slant. Follow the money on this one.

#9 Bush should have fired McClellan for being a lurker.
