"Bush Directly Involved In Leak Scandal" {Plame}

Near the end of a round table discussion on ABC�s This Week, George Stephanopoulos dropped this bomb:

Definitely a political problem but I wonder, George Will, do you think it�s a manageable one for the White House especially if we don�t know whether Fitzgerald is going to write a report or have indictments but if he is able to show as a source close to this told me this week, that President Bush and Vice President Cheney were actually involved in some of these discussions.

This would explain why Bush spent more than an hour answering questions from special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald. It would also fundamentally change the dynamics of the scandal. President Bush could no longer claim he was merely a bystander who wants to �get to the bottom of it.� As Stephanopoulos notes, if Bush played a direct role it could make this scandal completely unmanageable.

1. The impeachment proceedings

3. That would be *beautiful* ...

We have waited for justice seemingly so long. How many of us organized, marched for peace and then broke down and wept when Bush-Co. ignored Millions of us across the world? Horrific. :cry:

Sorry to get weird on some of you, but I plan to light a candle today after mass. "Please Dear God, let there be justice?"

6. Well, you're not really quoting anybody

I can't figure out what Stephanopolous is hinting at. What "some of these discussions" does he mean? Discussions about what?

7. Right. They could have been totally innocuous --

Bush: Karl, who the hell is this Wilson guy? And who sent him to Africa?

Rove: Er, I don't know Mr. President. I'll call Tenet and get back to you on it.

Bush: Go to it, Turdblossum!
