Scott McClellan appeared before the House Judiciary committee yesterday. When asked about Joseph Wilson and the defamation of Wilson’s character by Sheila Jackson- Lee McClellan seemed to sympathize with the harm that had been done by the evil forces in the White House during and before his tenure as Press Secretary. Jackson-Lee asked McClellan specifically about the Uranium in Niger that Wilson reported on.
Later in his testimony Scott was confronted by Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) with some disturbing facts via a declassified CIA report. McClellan visually surprised with these facts began to backtrack.
I put together a video (below) with Jackson-Lee’s question followed by King’s quizzing of McClellan.
The MSM will never televise or write about this exchange.
This from a Reuters Article:
Iowa Republican Rep. Steve King said McClellan should have simply kept his mouth shut.
“From an integrity standpoint, could you not have taken some of this to the grave with you and done this country a favor?” King asked.
McClellan said his book accurately represented his views. Going public with his doubts has not been easy, he said.
What the article does not mention was King’s statements before he asked that question. The MSM will not reveal the whole story.
Check out this video of what King did reveal and say to McClellan prior to that statement:
This hearing was nothing more than a witch hunt with hints of impeaching the President and Vice President. The Democrats have nothing better to do such as legislation on removing the offshore drilling moritorium The FISA Bill.
The Democrats are becoming more irrelevant as the election season approaches with these stunts.

A man without honor will have a hard time living with it until his death. The dem’s will use him, abuse him, and dump him. Not even they are stupid enough to trust him.

Interesting how this memo from the CIA suddenly surfaces when Scott McClellan is testifying before the committee. It will be even more interesting when someone confronts Joe Wilson with this memo, a much tougher customer than Mr. McClellan. In a world where lies are routine, how do we know the CIA memo is an accurate portrayal of what Joe Wilson said? I agree that Mr. McClellan should’ve withheld his memoirs until the president had stepped down. But before this is all over this country will uncover much worse things about the present administration and the way it handled and mangled the truth then revealed by the former press secretary.
For either Democrats or Republicans to universally revile their opposition as uniformly stupid reveals a narrowness of mind that makes dialogue impossible.
