Well, THAT sucked all of the drama out of the Lil' Scotty story: He "doesn't think Bush lied"

It's almost like he's still on the job!

Publisher: McClellan doesn't believe Bush lied
Spokesman 'did not intend to suggest' the president purposely misled him

WASHINGTON - Former White House spokesman Scott McClellan does not believe President Bush lied to him about the role 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."

Osnos says the quotes which appeared on the Public Affairs Books website were part of the roll out of the book catalogues for the spring printings. And he says McClellan had not finished the manuscript for the memoir yet and was working under deadline to have the book completed for the April publishing.

And if scottie doesn't know whether bush lied or not, what is the value of writing a book about the subject one way or the other?

That's okay scottie, bush lied. The ignorant trash who say they have conservative values think otherwise, they think saddam had wmd and think the sun revolves around the earth. The ignorant in America, priceless to the gop.

my impression was that either the "president" is lying his ass off about this whole libby/Rove thing or else he is way too trusting and naive to be president. Or perhaps a little of both. If he wasn't lying he needs to grow up and adopt a bit of skepticism because people are manipulating him something terrible and it's making him look bad.

Even if the "president" was not lying, McClellan's revelation doesn't reflect positively on him.

Enough of this bullshit.

are lined up and waiting for their turn with him! This will be getting good and better soon!

They sicced the goons on him and he caved instantly.

Doesn't anybody "lie" anymore?

all of them different, but all of the talking heads are saying the same thing now....nothing will come of it. As in no investigation/charges...amazing. Oh, and they all say Bush will pardon Libby....we know that's coming...

Plenty of time to edit/re-write lots of stuff. Gag - Let's hope the publisher has to give those books away with a sucker attached.

This is a complete 180 from earlier reports AND Breaking at the same time on the MSM....

3 suspects (same boys) have been re-arrested in Natalie Hollway's death !
