Once again, blogger/White House correspondent, Eric Brewer, holds feet to fire. Read the below, from his questions at today’s WH Press Gaggle, and ask yourself if it sounds like McClellan is dodging anything. Anything at all…
MR. McCLELLAN: Stand by what — say the statement again.
Q Berlusconi replied — he replied in Italian, this is a translation, “Bush, himself, confirmed to me that the U.S.A. did not have any information from Italian agencies.”
MR. McCLELLAN: I think I addressed that question yesterday. I responded to that. You’ve got to go back and look at exactly what I said.
Q So your answer is, “yes”?
MR. McCLELLAN: I’m sorry? I addressed that question yesterday. I responded to it.
Q So the answer is, “yes”?
MR. McCLELLAN: Yes, if you’re talking about — because there have been some Italian reports about a meeting that took place here at the White House, and I pointed out yesterday that there were no documents provided relating to Niger and uranium at that meeting, much less –
Q Not just –
MR. McCLELLAN: — much less was it even discussed.
Q — no, not just at the meeting –
MR. McCLELLAN: And in terms of going back to the issue of Niger and uranium, I mean, we briefed on that and we talked about the basis for the statement in the remarks. And it was based on the National Intelligence Estimates and the British intelligence.
Brewer has much more, including background on the forged Iraq/Niger documents hoax (which is quickly where this thing may well be going) and his questioning about it today as well to National Security Advisor, Stephen Hadley.
Keep up the good work, Eric!
Hooray for you, Eric! Thank you so much for your excellent work asking REAL questions and holding Snottie’s feet to the fire. He sounds more foolish every time he opens his mouth.
As Brad says, "Keep up the good work!"
RawStory has news on how the Plame info. got to Libby and aledges there’s a conspiracy involved.

That 35% doesn’t even include all the high school kids who aren’t of voting age yet. Look at what they’re doing.

It’s really inspiring! Maybe there’s hope yet for our country with kids like these.
It is quite obvious that the white house is in shock.
This is one of the symptoms when a reality bubble pops.
They are in habit mode … doing things knee jerk from a state of shock.
Doing what comes natural to them … lies and coverup, hypocrisy, and ultra stubbornness.
Thank you, Scottie! You’ve now conceded the phony uranium/Niger business came from British intelligence.
Now, how about the Downing Street minutes, which tell us that said intelligence was being cooked in order to justify an invasion of Iraq? Are we to believe you, or our lying eyes and ears? Is it your position that the British intelligence was believable, but that the Downing Street minutes are not?
Any remaining credibility you might have is on the line, Scottie.
Rove may have a promotion coming.
Others mentioned in the indictment have been promoted (link here).
Scottie may get promoted too. After all, he made a major misrepresentation to the MSM and to the American people.
In the present admin that merits a promotion.
Yep promotions!!!!
SUPREME COURT JUSTICE SCOTT MCCLELLAN!!!!
LOL
You can predict exactly how they do it, now. And also once the person is fired, they’re still on the payroll like Michael Brown and Tom Delay…..

Mainstream media coverage of Dan Rather "forged documents:
24×7
Mainstream media coverage of Niger "forged documents", which lied us into Iraq War, hundreds of thousands dead, hundreds of billions in tax money, which the Republicans are making up for by slashing medicare/medicaid/food stamps:
ZERO COVERAGE
Bush has all his inept cronies lined up one behind the other. They sack the Arabian horse show inept Brown from FEMA, and replace him with the guy who said to line your house with duct tape to ward off a terrorist attack. Funny thing, he never followed up on what to do after that, left us all hanging, and I am now living in a house covered in duct tape, awaiting my next orders…
signed: a hick who voted for Bush and believes anything
