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.

Doesn't Sphincter know that there is a criminal case going on here?

[Paladin2]

Specter should impeach himself.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I'd like to see S.P.E.C.T.E.R "explain" why he masquerades as an American and a Republican when he is really nothing more than another, moronic, America-hating, Liberal DemocRAT out to rob the taxpayer and destroy the country.

I hope Bush is kicking himself for getting this clown re-elected to the Senate.

Most cancer patients recover from "chemo brain" after a few months. Specter seems to be getting worse as more time passes.

Arlen Specter = DISHONEST MEDIA WHORE

Turning tricks on the Sunday talk shows.

[edpc]

Strangely, Specter does not deem it necessary to explain himself. If you listen closely, you can hear the distant echoes of Pat Toomey's "I told you sooooooo....."

[Clara Lou]

"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," Specter said. But, he added, "it was not the right way to go about it because we ought not to have leaks in government."
So, if he had the authority, then it wasn't a leak, right, dummy?

[slowhand520]

Bush SHOULD explain this to the American people. He can debunk any myth out there so easily. Like every thing else he won't and he will let this snowball into a bigger problem than it is. He should address the nation and explain the facts. All the evidence is on his side. He can quell all this nonsensical clamoring by reading the senate intelligence committee report that totally discredits Joe Wilson. This should have been done years ago. Same goes with WMD's. Why the silence on these translated documents. He should be reading the translations every night for a week in a bright pink jumpsuit just to get everyone's attention. Having Rush Limbaugh and co. articulate what the president is trying to do is only going to go so far. The man with the bully pulpit needs to use it!

[CyberAnt]

Excuse me .. Specter can just go read the EO himself and see that Bush and Cheney had the authority to de-classify portions of the NIE.

[Jack Hammer]

"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."

[DoughtyOne]

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.

[SelectiveJNJ]

That is what you get when your RINO's. Bush wanted him...he got him!

[fish hawk]

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

[RAldrich]

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.

[tobyhill]

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!

[ReaganRevolution]

"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.

[stevem]

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.
