WASHINGTON - Former White House spokesman Scott McClellan does not believe President Bush lied to him about the roll of White House aides I. Lewis Scooter Libby or Karl Rove in the leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity, according to McClellan's publisher.

Peter Osnos, the founder and editor-in-chief of Public Affairs Books, which is publishing McClellan's book in April, tells NBC from his Connecticut home that McCLellan, "Did not intend to suggest Bush lied to him."

Osnos says when McClellan went before the White House press corps in 2003 to publicly exonerate Libby and Rove, the problem was that his statement was not true. Osnos said the president told McClellan what "he thought to be the case." But, he says, McClellan believes, "the president didn't know it was not true."

. . .as if that would explain why Bush still hasn't admitted anyone did anything wrong.

1. I'm dizzy from all the spinning in the last 2 hours.

Literally. They are contorting themselves into amazing geometric shapes over this.

2. Scotty was threatened.Wanna bet? "watch what you say" Remember that one?

[Cleita]

7. No bet here. I agree with you.

Also, start watching the hit pieces start coming out, maybe even hinting that Scotty might be a little bit mentally unstable and so forth.

8. It will be interesting to see what stays in the book come April.

3. Hope Scotty

is on CIPRO.

[Cha]

4. It's just more proof that the

president(sic) is a sick dumbfuck. No worries.

[TBUSA]

5. bush may not have known.

I can believe little numb-nuts would not know. He would not be in on anything.
He will not be embarrassed that he was not informed. He is a hollow pos.
Cheney should be tried for treason for outing a CIA officer.

[Cha]

12. That's right...bush doesn't know

a gawd damn thing ...he's the dumbest fuck on the Planet to ever drag his knuckles.

[spanone]

6. so do they expose this story on day one, so they can shoot it down on day two?

very odd. was it a setup?

can we believe anything the media feeds us?

[bigtree]

14. he's not above lying

I can't believe that Bush wasn't intimately involved with the Plame outing. It smells of a frat boy prank

[blues90]

9. The part that bugs me about this is Scotty

Claims he was given false information when he lied . That's got to be complete bull . How is he going to prove this even if it were true ?

He had direct inside info so this makes him every bit of a liar as the rest of them . He knows these people .

[DemGa]

10. The Resident is always unaware he's passing off bad information

Rove et al must get a good laugh at how they've kept the criminal Shrub untouchable.

[riverdeep]

11. Is anyone monitoring Fox Bullshit Network?

Are they talking about this? Or are they still yakking on about the non story of Novak said that Hillary said that there was a really, really bad story on Obama, but we can't tell you what it is. Because whatever Fox's spin on it, that'll be the WH's spin too.

Anyway, this makes something like reason number five thousand one hundred and twenty four on why this is the worst president ever.

13. So, Shrub "was out of the loop," like Poppy, eh?!1 n/t
