Scotty Stonewalls

The WH press corps must have grown a spine over the weekend. Or perhaps they were given a push by progressive bloggers as usual. It seems when we bloggers start on a story it takes the MSM to finally do something at least 7 days to make it an issue. Well this is day seven, and finally they did it. From The Associated Press . For two years, the White House has insisted that presidential adviser Karl Rove had nothing to do with the leak of a CIA officer's identity. And President Bush said the leaker would be fired. White House press secretary Scott McClellan refused to discuss the matter at two news briefings Monday. He said he would not comment because the leak is the focus of a federal criminal investigation. "The prosecutors overseeing the investigation had expressed a preference to us that one way to help the investigation is not to be commenting on it from this podium," McClellan said in response to a barrage of questions about Rove and the previous White House denials. "I'm well aware, like you, of what was previously said," McClellan said. "And I will be glad to talk about it at the appropriate time." He said the appropriate time would be when the investigation is completed. Well just when will that be Scott? After the blogosphere uncovers the truth and you have no choice? Here is a suggestion to the suddenly awakened press corp. What did King George know about Rove and WHEN did he know it? If he meant what he said per your own words from back in September of 2003 saying that if anyone at the White House leaked Plame's identity he or she should be fired and "pursued to the fullest extent by the Department of Justice". "That is not the way this White House operates. The President expects everyone in his administration to adhere to the highest standards of conduct. No one would be authorized to do such a thing." Why is Rove still employed by the White House, and more importantly, why does he still have secutiry clearance in light of recent reports? The American People are waiting Scott, it is time for you're boss to stand up and tell the truth for once in his forsakenaken life!!!
