Another Victory! (Maybe). Also, I’m less angry.

It seems that since my very first post on this little blog some interesting things have happened. Not only has Kucinich proposed impeachment (finally) but Mr. Scott McClellan has agreed to testify before the House Judiciary Committee backing up all the negative and “scandalous” (but already assumed) things he said in his recent book. From The Huffington Post:

McClellan will be the highest-ranking Bush administration official to be pressed by Congress on the Plame affair. Former Bush strategist Karl Rove has refused to testify, citing executive privilege.

And as such, the testimony could be extremely revealing. According to McClellan, the decision to leak Plame’s covert identity emanated from the very top of the Bush White House. The move, he wrote, was politically motivated, as officials were peeved at the critical statements about Iraq coming from Plame’s husband, former ambassador Joseph Wilson. While McClellan said that the president was ultimately misled by his advisers on the matter, he asserted that the episode itself was a stain on the Oval Office – one that led to his disillusionment.

“It’s…clear to me that Scooter Libby was guilty of the perjury and obstruction crimes for which he was convicted,” McClellan wrote. “When the president commuted Libby’s prison sentence and thereby protected him from serving even one day behind bars, I was disappointed. This kind of special treatment undermines our system of justice.”

Go get ‘em Scotty. This White House could use a little justice.
