It is a funny thing, but today Something happened that may indeed lead to a "Watergate" Christmas.....So Unexpected and yet so Overdue. I was sitting here nursing my stress fractured foot, cursing my melting peas, and David Shuster came on a little after 4pm on MSNBC and broke a HUGE story. ( and for now I am telling you to go to Crooks and Liars for more) I found myself sitting here wondering WHERE is Fitz, and gee I sure hope he has a TV on....
So here I sit watching Hardball wondering if the Media will bury the Story. Apprarently Scottie McClellan , the press secretary that I had so unkindly called The Pinata, and apparently might indeed have a Conscience and does not like being Part of a HUGE Lie. A lie that involves Rove, Libby, Andy Card, the VEEP and yes, Mr.Bush. ( Please see the Plamegate Timeline over on the blogroll)
Well, Well....So the Scotty The Pinata was TOLD to Lie, and he is writing a Book about his tenure, and WHY would the Publisher put out his Statement NOW ? Why ? Does it need a to release a Teaser ? Or did Scotty finally realize that he wanted his Truth Out There, for some reason he wants to set the Record Straight.Why and Why Now ? And of course the MSM ( Hardballs etc will wrestle with how to spin this Revelation....and surely it is a BIG piece of Coal for the Whitehouse Stocking..)
Well, I think while eating the Turkey we all have Something to talk about Now... So Many Questions NOW on the Table.
So Bush pardoned Scooter, WHY to Protect HIS OWN Crimes ? Does THIS qualify as High Crimes and MisDemeanors ? Is Impeachment Back on the Table? For ALL of them ?
The Name of Scotty's Book is " WHAT HAPPENED"......well, apparently we might Still Find Out....

well, apparently NBC would rather focus on the 2nd amendment and stem cell research,.....funny, I guess they are not touching the Explosive Scotty story....( I wonder if they will talk about they will ever do the MISSING First Amendment ?).....well well....
ooooops 6:36 Here we go...the Leak Case....back on the Front Burner...
I only posted one thing so far today and this was it. It is not like we did not know this all along, but damn it sure is nice to have one of the inner circle admit it.
Do you remember when we called him "Puffy McMoonface"? Oh well he still should not have allowed those jerks to make him lie for them.
I am breathlessly awaiting Keith's take on this story. It is gonna be a good one.
I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the MSM to seriously pick up on anything really impeachable and important, ad actually follow through.
I am almost beginning to think Bush could drop a hint that he is about to cancel the 2008 elections or Cheney could be caught with a swastika flag on the office wall and the press would go ho, hum.
Look what they ho hum already. A hundred vet suicides a week, stolen elections, Jeff Gannon (boy porno king) visiting the White House a hundred times, suspension of habeas corpus, warrantless wiretapping, Bush calling the Constitution "just a goddam piece of paper", a two trillion dollar war started on lies and continuing on lies, 4,000 American dead and 25,000 injured and several hundred thousand Iraqi dead and 2 million displaced as refugees, torture, secret prisons..and the list is endless. Yet the press just headlines it for a day or two and then ho hum, drops it.
I would not hold my breath waiting for Scottie to reveal anything big, and if he did, the press would go ho hum and shift attention to Britney or JLo.
NEWSGUY: Well, I think that one Statement that was leaked today was not a Nothing throw Away statement...I loved how David Gregory tried to trip over it and spin it tonight...geesz...we are talking about Crimes...a CIA agent had her name revealed...that is kind of a big deal....and also it was about Retaliation for and to Joe Wilson for confronting the MISSING WMD issue- the reason we went to war.....Now I admit that Tweety did all of hardball on it- that was even more than I ever expected...and I am real curious HOW long before the WH issues Some Kind of Statement....
and yes, the MSM has sat on plenty of stories...but this involves them....they were the Press recieving the lies....in that WH presser room...and about Gannon- he was interviewed on Cpsan this weekend- I guess he needs legitamizing ???and he has a book coming out- I would love to know if he is working on Rudy's campaign....and yes...I know that the MSM is a huge failure....boy do I know it..and I am so sick of the Press protecting Bush...you know that I am....BUT....I also tracked Plamegate like a hawk...I am not ready at all to put it to bed....
Gryphen...yup..let's see what keith does with it...holy crapp....let's hope he can stoke the Embers of this Mess.....
Ha Ha Scotty was TOLD to lie, LIKE he HAD to be told to...
he he he
More good news, this gives our semi spineless democratic congresscritters a chance to investigate BUSH even more DARE i say impeachment..
one can only hope
hoping next for more on SIEBEL EDMONDS....(see brad blog for more)
I suppose *What Happened* is a more tame title then *What the f**k happened?* as a title.
And of course there are going to be some "heck of an expos'e" stories that come out of the Bush Whitehouse... but to date they have played the *National Security" card or whatever other teflon voodoo they have (nothing sticks).
We are supposed to feel satisfied that they are trying to get the troops out of Iraq sometime around the elections a year from now.
Sigh
Can ya believe that Scotty the Lying Dough Boy spilled the flour... err... beans?
Who knows... maybe more than that inflamed appendix that makes him cry out in pain if ya push on his mushy Dough Boy abdomen was killing him?
Maybe he does have a crumb of a conscience.... hmmm?
Anyhoo... just wanted to wish you and your not-so-little man Happy Thanksgiving. Hugs!
it doesn't impress me in the least that scotty is speaking the truth now. that seems to be how it works. they lie through their teeth and confess it later, for big book money.
never when it might have actually made a difference and saved lives.
scumbags, all.
Scotty and Bush should be tried for treason and lying to congress.
Wanna bet Pelosi will refuse to allow impeachment over this.
Larry: they all should be tried for treason and crimes against Humanity....lying to Congress used to get people sent to Jail....I do hope FITZ is watching...but we will have to see....
Annie: I am curious too and also curious of the TIMING, there is something odd about it....and yes, It would have been nice if he told the truth before....and why did he lie- and if he lied because he told to- why didn't he say so before.....and they ALL lied and yes, there are many graves that deserve answers....
TINA: that was the other nickanme that I was trying to remember....Scotty the PopN'Fresh Doughboy...You and your little ones and your honey of a fella have a wonderful Thanksgiving...
Fran: What the EFF happened is a Much Better Title....MUCH....and yes the Teflon Voodoo is so far been unpenetratable...
Thomas: yeah...right he was told to "lie"...like they all tell the truth everyday...cough cough....well, they kinda have a bit of a Credibility Problem....or is it like we always thought....a Criminal Conspiracy.....DEFRAUDING the govt...by a group is indeed a Felony.....Fitz' investigation is ongoing...gee I wonder if he was watching TV today....( and I don't think he was "happy" about the Scooter Pardon..)
I use to call him Baghdad Scott was when he spoke it was like Bob in Iraq a total joke.
God Bless.
Unfortunately, this story will be neglected too just as your other commentors have detailed for us.
Might I add to the list the MSM has embarassingly failed to pursue the anthrax story.
As you wrote recently in "Not Ready To Make Nice" many of us in Blogotopia don't let the public forget about issues such as this because the commercial media doesn't have the guts to do their job.
Peace,
Cosmic
A fractured foot is bad enough. But Jesus - melting peas, too? Some one laid a curse upon you.:)
