The McClellan story, cont'd

MANIFESTO

Just how serious are Democrats going to be about Scott McClellan's revelations? We may soon find out as Rep. Robert Wexler (D-FL) today

called for former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan to appear before the House Judiciary Committee to testify under oath regarding the devastating revelations made in his new book on the Bush Administration’s deliberate efforts to mislead the American people into the Iraq War.

Rep. Wexler, a senior member of the House Judiciary Committee, is apparently very interested in the possibility that

Karl Rove and Scooter Libby—and possibly Vice President Cheney—conspired to obstruct justice by lying about their role in the Plame Wilson matter.

Plame Wilson?! Holy smokes. If that toothpaste ever gets out of the tube, we'll see people serving time. This could get very interesting as Scott McClellan becomes the Alexander Butterfield of this Republican administration.

Of course, with myriad bootlicking legislators from both parties in the Congress, this whole thing could go the way of so many felonies committed by the Bushies—that is to say, nowhere.
