yes, but the point is, when this story broke today - that should have been the message right away, from Bush himself at a microphone. instead, we get McClellan falling all over his words trying to rebut this.
I don't think that President Bush himself should look as if he is running to a microphone everytime the MSM or the dems level a new charge against him...
If he DID get up immediately today..it would look like he feels guilty and needs to "explain".
From what I have seen and heard about this....not only was it not secret (congress knew)...but, since it always included a foreign person in the investigation, it wasn't illegal...and the FICA court was aware of it.
