Scott McClellan dropped another bombshell today. It turns out the man who ultimately authorized the leak of secret intelligence information was -- George W. Bush. As Bush was claiming he would not tolerate any intelligence leaks, he was leaking the intelligence himself.
Watch McClellan explain what happened exactly:
Remember what George H.W. Bush said about people expose the identities of our secret agents:
The most insidious of traitors, indeed.

1. Scott McClellen should be subpoenaed to testify before Congress. I'm sure that Wexler and Conyers would like to hear what he knows.
When this illegal junta finally slithers out of town, Bush, Cheney, Rove, Rummy and a couple of others should find a country which will refuse to extradite them.

2. Tired of "Swatting Flies?" Were the flies political opponents? Why did they spy domestically without warrants? The truth is out here, but will you let the "Bush Fly" speak? That's a book that will sell!

3. McClellen should go before Congress to testify. Carter should go before Congress for what appears to be his blatant leak of Top Secret information on Israel.
Get all the liars and crooks to testify.
Pelosi and crew had chance to live up to their promises and impeach Bush, but they never did. Pelosi and crew dumped the resolution to Impeach Cheney into Committee. Anyone hear more about Resolution to Impeach Cheney?????
Democrats buried Resolution to Impeach Cheney. WHY???????????
Now McClellen writes a book and we will hear the same old crap and the Democrats again will do nothing. Spineless Democrat Congress.Vote them out.
All the Left Wingers are spinning their wheels to get some hearings in Congress, but Democrats are cowards and will not Impeach Bush or Cheney.
Is this what we can expect more of, spineless leadership from the Democrat Party?????
Does USA need a 3rd Party that has some backbone????
Now all the Democrats want to do is to elect a Muslim to the White House.

4. Cenk-You did not read the book did you?
Do you have to lie that you have first hand knowledge (like reading the book) of what McClellen actually said in the book?
Cenk-like you said (McClellen) "It is patently obvious he is telling the truth" but Cenk did not read book
Or that the book says (McClellen) "Everything he says goes with what we heard previously" but Cenk did not read book.
Do you think your followers are to stupid to comprehend or are to lazy to read the book, that you have to tell them what the books says without you even reading the book?
Do you really believe your followers are a bunch of cows and will believe whatever you say?
If people really want to know what the book is says-READ IT-do not be a bunch of cows and make opinions of what the book says and what you are told it says.
Cenk did not read the book, never said he did, a book that gets released for sale in a few days on June 1.
There are people who have condemmed McClellen for the writing of the book and the release date, saying he did it for the money. There are others like Cenk who draws his opinion of what the book says without even reading the book.
Read the Book and then Comment

5. Scott McClellan, disgruntled, former less-than-stellar mouthpiece for the administration you hate because, amongst other things, they're all liars, is now an unimpeachable source on the inner workings of that same administration. Because he wrote a book that feeds your hate.
You're being played, again, by a guy who needs to makes some bucks and has a grudge against his old boss. The book, when it starts to get out there, will turn out to be much less the smoking gun it's purported to be.
A month from now Scott McClellan will be forgotten and his book will be about as significant as the Rachel Ray Dunkin Donuts dustup.

6. Robert Okane has a point, Cenk. It helps to know what you are talking about. Read the book first. Of course, when you read the book, you must use your analytical skills, if any, to see if what has been written is reliable and/or credible. For example, if there is a report of a secret meeting that Scott did not attend, how credible is his information on what was discussed by the participants.

7. In Cenk's defense, Scott McClellan is hitting the talk circuit route in New York to plug his book. This is what is being reported by the right wing owned media :)with video excerpts in McClellan's own words.
The Republican spin machine hard at work on this web site now calling McClellan a disgruntled employee because he told the truth about the lying Bush administration.
Republican spinning truth into lies doesn't make the truth go away. Lol

8. All the Bush Hatters come out when theres a story about Bush Lien.Now you can Bet If They had (Lefty's) anything on Bush They would Impeach him in a Second.Heck Clinton was Impeached for Lien(I Never had sexual relations whit that woman)If they had anything they would let you know and Quickly.

9. Keith Olbermann on Scott McClellan
Quote-"Scott McClellan should resign,. The expiration on his carton full of blank eyed bully collaborator act passed this after as he sat reeling off those hollier than thou remarks."
and Scott is nothing more than a puppet for Bush.

10. This is old news and yet why hasn't the so-called liberal media or the democrats been demanding Bush's impeachment? We tried to impeach Clinton for lying and yet Bush was able to steal two presidental elections, invade two foreign countries, and let New Orleans go down the crapper, while constantly lying to the American public. Where is the sanity in all this?

11. On the Right-hand side Panel see How THOSE WHO LABEL themselves ATHEISTS BECAME HORRIFIED WHEN TWO DOCUMENTED ACCOUNTS OF THE DEAD BEING RAISED IN JESUS' NAME WERE CONFIRMED ALONG WITH MANY RECENT SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERIES that CHALLENGE THE VERACITY OF ATHEISM and their personal doubts.

12. gshort3011 : The difference is evidence. There was evidence that Clinton lied. Your allegations about Bush stealing two elections, invading two countries and letting New Orleans go down the crapper all have the same problem - no credible evidence to support your charges and a lot of credible evidence to show discredit them. Justice does not depend on your feelings or belief but relies on what can be "pled and proven."

13. Hey Scotty..............
Second crane collapses in three month time frame in NYC: BIOB - Blame It On Bush!!!!!!!
Paul Sparcello at 11:04AM on May 30th 2008
14. WoW Cenk you read the book already? You must have good connections, I thought it hadn't been released yet. It is funny how McClellan went on the Bill Maher show a year ago defending the war and Bush, wouldnt he still have been writing his well thought out book during that time. Me thinks the book was boring old re hashed news and the editor had to beef it up so the liberal media would pounce all over it. He sure ran right to the liberal media the last few days, in order to get his street cred.
Ben at 11:23AM on May 30th 2008
15. Isn't McClellan in NYC making the rounds this week? Perhaps in the vicinity of the latest collapse? Attempted damage control? A near miss, maybe?
Where's Cheney????
