"dummy" = Specter, by the way. =)

President Bush should not have to clean up the bowel movements of the MSM and the Sunday talk show couch stains of political media whores.

He is too busy doing his job to respond to FAKE NEWS and FAKE POLLS to justify the FAKE NEWS.

"President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney should speak publicly about their involvement in the CIA leak case so people can understand what happened, a leading Republican senator said Sunday."

Except that Specter's not - party labels notwithstanding - a Republican; and certainly not, in any sense, "leading."

There wouldn't BE a criminal case going on if they had just come out with this information two years ago.

What information are you talking about? The information allegedly declassified said nothing about Valarie Plame. The Crap you are hearing now is based on double hearsay statements by Libby in front of a grand jury leaked by Fitzgerald.

It seems like very time Spector tries to act as if he's relevant, he puts his foot in his mouth all the way up to his kneecap. Please Arlen, sip it for your own sake if you won't do it for the party's.

He isn't responding to all these accusations. You and I may not fall for the MSM trap but the same can't be said for the rest of the country. This is more than responding to false accusations. The president can easily make the dems and the media look foolish by simply telling the public what you, me and the rest of the blogosphere already know. I think in the end it would help him tremendously.

Specter should explain why he keeps registering and running as a Republican.

I think a man who was elected Governor twice, President twice and someone who helped gain seats for his party in the first two election cycles of his Presidency for the first time in years knows how to react to a press that is more confident than their record warrants.

Specter is an SOB. I saw the smirk on his face when he was saying that. He knows very well that classified information belongs to the Executive Branch and as head of the Executive Branch the President has the authority to declassify anything. Since he fancies himself as such a hot shot constitutional lawyer, the 1992 Executive Order is what he should have explained to Brit Hume, instead of giving Bush the shaft.

The President doesn't owe anyone an explanation, period! Everything could be called "political" even if all the intent was to inform Americans and defend a decision. Specter is an idiot RINO!

Exactly my point! How do you think he got elected? By not hitting back? It is because he campaigned, gave speeches, rolled up his sleeves and fought back. The last 2 years he has been on cruise control. I hope with the addition of Josh Bolten they really hit back. If not we can say bye bye to the gains we made in '04. And if you can't see this you are blind

Hitting back means setting the agenda and flicking away the MSM fakery.

Responding to the morons only fuels their hatred.

Ignoring their news agenda and changing the subject makes them go nuts.

I agree.

So many Freepers think Pres. Bush should stoop to the MSM agenda and answer every "scandal" they dream up.

Nonsense. George Bush knows that dignity demands he remain above the fray of the kindergartners.

Freepers have it wrong.

"The president may be entirely in the clear, and it may turn out that he had the authority to make the disclosures which were made,"

Nothing like being guilty before being proven innocent. Get with it Arlen, nothing untoward happened, quit buying the liberal lie.

Specter really is getting senile. So far, no one, to my knowledge, has been charged with leaking anything. It sounds suspiciously to me as though there wasn't any leak, hence no one had a part in any leak. You can't have a part in something that doesn't exist.

Agree! Pres. should explain why he backed Specter instead of Toomey...

Bush should not say squat about this. He should fire his wimp spokesman and get a real spokesman. All the spokesman has to say is that "if the President authorizes release of material then BY DEFINITION it is not a leak, period. Next question?"

That is absurd. The documents were declassified in 2002 and then released to the media and the media chose to bury them.

Are you suggesting that the President should take control of the media??
