Wednesday Morning Open Thread

So Scott McClellan admitted lying for his boss, George Bush, about the leak of Valerie Plame's name. Bush and his lackeys lie all the time. It's just rare any of them will admit it.

What makes this so egregious is that Bush and crew lied to the White House press corps knowing that several members of that White House press corps knew they were lying. A number of reporters sitting in the James S. Brady press briefing room at the White Hosue were recipients of the leak about Valerie Plame, but still reported the Bush denials. Bush and Rove knew they could get away with lying because those reporters would just regurgitate their lies. And, that's exactly what happened.

Then, of course, during the 2004 election, those same reporters dutifully reported the lie that Bush was strong on national security -- and let Bush get away with attacking John Kerry's honorable and heroic service to his country.

It's appalling all around. And, it sure sounds like Scooter Libby isn't the only perjurer in the Bush circle.

Okay. Let's just get it started.
