You shall know them by their fruits.
Okay...Who’s paying McClellan???
This will be on C-Span 3.
Joe Scarborough and the indescribable Mika will cover live for MSNBC.
Judas under oath...
Pillsbury dough boy.
Hyperian, perhaps?
Ok, I read your post wrong. I thought it said, “Who’s PLAYING McClellan?”. Although, maybe my answer still applies, if you consider Soros as the dough boy.
Iraq Questions Fair Game for McClellan?
By Bob Deans | Wednesday, June 18, 2008, 11:19 AM
Former White House spokesman Scott McClellan will likely face questions about the war in Iraq when he goes before the House Judiciary Committee on Friday.
That’s the word among aides helping members prepare for the high-profile, election-year hearing.
The hearing was set to focus on what McClellan knew - and didn’t know - about the roles of Karl Rove, Scooter Libby and other senior White House officials in the 2003 outing of former CIA agent Valerie Plame.
Once McClellan is sworn in, though, committee members are free to ask whatever they want.
“We’re hearing from (Democrats) that once McClellan sits down it’s not going to be about Plame, it’s going to be about Iraq,” said one Republican aide.
McClellan, who left the White House two years ago, returned to the media spotlight in May, with the publication of his memoir recounting the three years (2003-2006) he spent as press secretary to President Bush.
In his book, “What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington’s Culture of Deception,” McClellan writes that “the Iraq war was not necessary” and charges that the administration “made a decision to turn away from candor and honesty when those qualities were most needed.”
Lines like those raise questions - especially in an election year.

He will be under oath. Could be interesting :)
Hey, this is Scott’s big moment... This is the pay-off for his 30 pieces of silver... The old stammering will be replaced by determined talking points developed by his Soros minders. Fellow travelers in the mainstream media will embrace every syllable. This will be the first “Bush spokesman” to get a respectful hearing on Capitol Hill.
Bingo!
As Rush loves to say, "follow the money".
Soros is Obama's puppetmaster.
McClellan is a Soros' useful idiot.
God give us men. The time demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith, and willing hands;
Men whom the lust of office does not kill;
Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy;
Men who possess opinions and a will;
Men who have honor; men who will not lie;
Men who can stand before a demagogue
And dam his treacherous flatteries without winking;
Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog
In public duty and in private thinking. — Josiah Gilbert Holland. 1819-1881
Scott is having his Scott Ritter moment.
A world class POS.
Judas under oath...
Under oath? That remains to be seen.
Of course, Valerie Plame committed perjury and is now under indictment much the same as Scooter Libby. Oh wait.......DemoRats are NEVER held accountable for their actions.
We KNOW that Fitzgerald knew.
What do we need to know??

Thanks for the ping!
I wonder if any of those supposedly astute politicians will be even faintly conscious of the faint sucking sound after this little show trial that will signal the descent of the public approval ratings for Congress into negative numbers.
If anybody thought the traitorcrats jumped the shark with their little socialist rants about oil refineries, just wait until this crapathon limps to a halt.
LOL. She really is indescribable, isn't she.
Yes, she is :)
In other news.. Obama and Hillary will campaign together next Friday..per MSNBC.
Wouldn't it be sumptin if the McClellan that testifies is a relaxed, and confident McClellan? If that happens, one who has watched many a presser, will become very suspicious.....
Thank you for posting, Spirit. It’s exactly what’s needed today, and a strong reminder that nothing has really changed since the existence of man—there will always be evil forces and good people need to be vigilant and strong against those forces.
Looks as if it is starting............ Time to play “Gotcha”!
The White House says they haven’t asked for executive privilege.
CNN reminding viewers the book wasn’t under oath- but he WILL BE UNDER OATH today...
ALSO- the CNN reporter wonders if Scotty can back up his assertions... (WHO KNEW CNN would ask such a thing)?
Well, it will be interesting!
Hi TOF.
What cspan is carrying? 1 2 3
Thanks
Could someone please cut to the chase? I know Congress is busy wasting time and $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ as usual chasing butterflies and fairies instead of doing American business that NEEDS to be done. This kind of crap I don’t pay much attention to—in the long run, are they planning on indicting the President, so that by this time next year they can impeach him??
Oh, wait, he won’t be in office this time next year...gads, I wish we didn’t have to pay taxpayer dollars for these fiascos.
[spits in direction of demmie idiots in charge]
Admittedly- it’s a show- but it’s still news. What is most interesting is whether McClellan will wilt when he’s under oath.
Will be interesting to see what a few on my Conservative List do during this debacle. I will be watching Chabot, Sensenbrenner, Pence, and Jordan.
Probably has not got the guts to do that but will more likely go after Rove and Libby.
Rep Lamar Smith tearing Scott to shreds...AWESOME!
Questioned the Soros connections, how much money did Scott make...etc.

Thanks. I just found it and loved the opening statement by the R. He did rip good old scottie to shreds.
This will be fun.
Scotty’s attorney tries to “object”. He’s told nicely to sit down an shut up! He can’t “object”.
YES- he’s now swearing in under oath- under threat of of perjury...
He says the White House has continued to resist scrutiny..
What a piece of crap he is. He’s selling his book!
Scott’s opening statement is self-righteous in the EXTREME.
