I STANDS FOR INTERESTING
This piece by Robert Novak is well worth a read, if for no other reason than it once again shows that Scott McClellan's book offers nothing new, just another stanza from the exhausting, overworked Democratic song book based on grim fairy tales that have never, ever been substantiated and never will be. Still the Democrats sing, sing, sing it anyway, thinking if they croon it long and hard enough, maybe it'll just make it come true.
Novak writes:
"In claiming he was misled about the Plame affair, McClellan mentions Armitage only twice. Armitage being the leaker undermines the Democratic theory, now accepted by McClellan, that Bush, Vice President Cheney and political adviser Karl Rove aimed to delegitimize Wilson as a war critic. The way that McClellan handles the leak leads former colleagues to suggest he could not have written this book by himself."
And where might McClellan's help cometh from? Why, one Peter Osnos, of course. Peter Osnos, a liberal writer with an axe to grind saw gold in them thar hills.

I read Novak's response this morning. It's funny but I never felt that Scott McClellan seemed right for the job. He seemed to lack an air of authority or confidence. I never could put my finger on it.
Thanks for the hugs sent via Rita! We had a blast Friday night.
Peter Osnos works for Public Affairs Books, part of the Perseus Books Group, which also includes Basic Books, which counts the late William F. Buckley, Jr., Dinesh D'Souza, Thomas Sowell, David Frum, among many other very conservative writers. Check it out for yourself by googling Basic Books.
Maybe them conservatives saw gold in them thar hills, too, what with the never ending stream of books with axes to grind against liberals, Democrats, feminists, the ACLU, People for the American Way, soccer moms, people who don't like ice cream, blah, blah, blah, and what to do if you ever come into contact with anyone who doesn't think like a conservative (first you make fun of them, then you question their patriotism, then you run away in fear).
You know, the segways you have pictured above are probably part of a tourist group. I've seen them on the mall, it's like the trendy way to see the sights. The police use them too. As far as I know it's not because the EPA mandated it, they just make sense in an urban area I guess.
Pam, so glad your gathering went well!
And Vienna, I didn't mean to imply that the EPA has mandated segways. Think you're right about being used by tour groups. There were plenty of them that particular day. The Mall is a perfect place to use them, it seems.
It's really appropriate that the new Senate Intelligence Committee Report on Iraq pre-war intelligenc verified McClellan by noting that statements by the president were not substantiated by intelligence and were contradicted by available intelligence. The game is over.

Not going into this one again.
It's been rehashed ad naseum, truly. ALL the Clinton intelligence said exactly what the Bush one did. If the intelligence was faulty, it happened long before Bush.
This will have to be rehashed for the billionth time on someone else's blog. Not here.
