    Good times.

    Source to Stephanopoulos: President Bush Directly Involved In Leak Scandal
    Near the end of a round table discussion on ABC’s This Week, George Stephanopoulos dropped this bomb:

    Definitely a political problem but I wonder, George Will, do you think it’s a manageable one for the White House especially if we don’t know whether Fitzgerald is going to write a report or have indictments but if he is able to show as a source close to this told me this week, that President Bush and Vice President Cheney were actually involved in some of these discussions.

    This would explain why Bush spent more than an hour answering questions from special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald. It would also fundamentally change the dynamics of the scandal. President Bush could no longer claim he was merely a bystander who wants to “get to the bottom of it.” As Stephanopoulos notes, if Bush played a direct role it could make this scandal completely unmanageable.

    This isn't really a bombshell to me. It is absolutely unconveivable that Bush WASN'T fully aware of the circumstances behind the leak before or shortly after. Now proving it is a whole other matter.

    Clinton never slept with that woman (reprehensible yet not a felony).

    W does not find it acceptable for someone to leak a covert CIA agent's name (reprehensible and a felony).

    Clinton lied to the grand jury. W may have also lied to the grand jury. If W did lie, I hope they impeach his sorry *ss. Not holding my breaththough.

    Grownups indeed.

    Ah! But when Jr. testified it was not under oath and he had Cheney holding his hand
