The Bush Justice Dept. will threaten to prosecute McClellan to the fullest extent of the law, saying he will reveal national security secrets. Scotty's lawyers will advise him not to testify. We'll see how hard Scotty wants to sell his book.

Will McClellan be asked about his role here?

http://www.salon.com/books/excerpt/2008/06/06/r...

He should be grilled extensively on the events of Katrina and not only his role, but that of the entire WH, including KKKarl Rove and Bush. Politicizing a truly tragic human disaster should be something they burn in hell for, or at least jailed...all those lives that could have been saved but for the fact that the WH saw them as human garbage to be rid of.

OT:

To the people on the Mass Transit string who said Americans were too spread out for Mass Transit to work.

93 percent of the US population live in metropolitan areas.

(I'm not going to worry about gas prices for the 7 percent who choose to live in the sticks.)

So there.

Ben Dover · 1 year ago

Quite a few of those 7% that you mentioned are in the business of producing the food that you place upon your table. To produce that food takes fuel, lots of fuel. From tractors to combines they all use the same product.
Higher fuel costs directly relate to increased food costs stemming from production to transportation to the 93% that choose to live in the cities.
A little worry for that 7% might be a good thing.

Scotty is as stupid as scooter. My prediction is that he also winds up in the slammer. Meanwhile, here's a pretty good article about Hillary Clinton and what her game plan may be:

Scarborough was shrieking about this earlier, and kept referring to Scotty with a slur on his weight (I must have scrubbed it from my brain, but I think it was "Pudgy", as in "who cares what Pudgy has to say").

Mikki --SE Pennsylvania · 1 year ago

Much closer to the truth is: Who cares what "Morning Joe" has to say?
MSNBC can't seem to get it through their corporate heads that Scarborough is one of their wastes of space and airtime that needs to go, now, sooner than later. And he can take along with him Chris Matthews, Dan Abrams, and please god tired old prune-faced Pat Buchanan and his chopping hands. Just say they have all left to persue other opportunities. Losers all.

You have no idea. I'm sure there are many in New Orleans and elsewhere working the ancient ways onto the administration right now and after the latest Karl Rove revelations, sheesh, good luck you worthless fat rat fucker. There will be justice one way or another.

Wisualize bad vibes toward the administration. Not angry vibes because it will have no effect. Clear your head of them. Just cold righteous negativity floating on waves toward them.

Oh Scotty, please beam up the bush administration to prison.

Busboy · 1 year ago

Here's a question for you, BB, is there a metro area in the USA which doesn't already have mass transit? Even my town of 75,000 has a public bus system. ten or 12 buses which ride around town empty. They are inconvenient. How do you shop by bus? You get off at Walmart and then have to walk a half mile to the cleaners, then another half mile to Kohls? Our little "metro area" is bigger than Long Island. Oklahoma city metro area, in which we are included is 55 miles by 35 miles, just short of the size of the state of New Jersey.

Bostonian_Queer_in_Dallas · 1 year ago

And the mass media will probably give this very little air time. And most Americans won't care anyway. McCain will do fairly well in the election because he is white. We live in a Neanderthal nation, kids.

Should be. Give him something to think about but he's getting more dangerous. He has that cornered animal look all the time now. This is going to be a long 7 months.

Who knew?

Rob Mule · 1 year ago

I can't imagine the cornered and rabid remnants of Team Bush will simply allow Scotty to sit before a House committee that could ask anything...For example, Scotty was with the Crawfording Bushies when the Decider was given the "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S." PDB...I'd like to hear any of Scotty's memories of the immediate presidential reaction to the precisely headlined Cliff Note-style summary much less the easily imagined details of Cheney's bunker-dwelling and perverted executive style...

OlderAndWiser · 1 year ago

The House will never impeach. Too many Dems were complicit in giving Bush the authority to invade Iraq. They don't want to be held accountable, either. I can't understand the defense of a blowjob in the Oval Office over the invasion of a sovereign country, esp. by the Idiot in Chief.

I'll never forgive the batch of Dems in Congress who did this. They should lose their seats ASAP, as well as Rethugs who did so.

FunMe · 1 year ago

Every DEMOCRAT who is an enabler of the bush crimes and refuses to impeach should be fired in their next election.

No more DINOs, no more DLCs, no more wimps in the Democratic party.

Bluestocking · 1 year ago

Unfortunately -- while I agree with you in principle and feel as you do that any Democrat who doesn't back Kucinich with regard to the Articles of Impeachment is not doing his/her job and deserves to lose his/her seat -- it occurs to me that this leaves an opening for the Republicans to re-claim a majority in the House if not the Senate as well. After all, if the current crop of Democrats fails to accomplish what the 105th Congress succeeded in doing -- impeaching a sitting President -- and under far more serious (and numerous) charges, then what damn good are they? Unfortunately, if the Republicans were to regain majority in the House, this would be nothing short of a disaster for the American people if McCain were to win the election in November since this would be an echo of the Republican trifecta (White House plus both houses of Congress) during the 108th and 109th Congress. For that matter, it probably wouldn't be all that much better even if Obama won because a Republican-led House plus a marginally Democratic-led Senate could potentially stalemate the White House.

bumpkis · 1 year ago

Still looking for a legal reference for this situation, but Kucinich may be just doing this to prevent PRESIDENTAL PARDONS.

Kucinich knows there is not enough time left to convict, let alone bring to trial. BUT...if the charges are actually brought, and those who would likely benefit from a pardon realize there will be NO PARDONS...we might see some of the bad guys coming forward to testify in exchange for leniency. (might be why McClellan is going under oath at this point)

If Bush finishes his term under an impeachment investigation, there will be no chance these assholes like Addington et al will ever hold government positions again ala Iran Contra.

Even if that dumbshit is never impeached, leaving the rest of the co-conspirators unprotected by a PARDON will be worth it. Probably see a lot of emmigration to Israel too.

laketahoeblue · 1 year ago

I'm wondering how Kucinich launching the impeachment hearing, or having McClellan testify before Congress, prevents Bush from issuing pardons to whomever he wishes (including himself). Doesn't the Constitution allow the President to issue a pardon whenever he wishes, regardless of whether a Congressional hearing is underway?

What if Scotty goes hiking in a public D.C. park and accidentally drowns in a dry creek bed?

vkobaya · 1 year ago

Or accidentally reaches up and snaps his own neck. It is possible. That is what the Bush administration will tell us.

If Bush does reliquish the Oval Office on January 20, 2009, my guess is that his last official act as Usurper in the Oval Office will be to push the red button with the missiles aimed at American cities.

TomJoad · 1 year ago

I'm reserving judgement (as if my judgement mattered...) until I hear what he testifies.
He was this infurriating, rolly-polly obfuscater the whole time..and good at some aspects, but still pretty obvious a shill. Now, he still won't attribute the obvious "willfull" part of it all, but something seems to be happening, for the better with him.
Might be just a marketing ploy as well as wanting to have history treat him kinder, but WH spokespersons aren't really much in the history books anyway...

I don't expect much, but it would be nice to hear some truth for a change.

Reminded me of the character "Arfy" in Catch-22. Everything for the past 8 years has reminded me of Catch-22 (that and "1984"). Loyalty oaths, Captain Cathcart, the whole insane parody has become our reality. When Yossarian was blocked by Arfy from coming out of the nose of the plane, and pounded him as hard as he could, with Arfy just smiling benignly not understanding the hate coming at him for his obtuseness.

I don't know why it has to grind along so slowly. After this came out and if I was in Congress, I would be like, "Sheesh, oh really?...Come in later this afternoon and testify. There will be coffee and donuts."

TomJoad · 1 year ago

What is the story with Harriet Miers? They just drop it all, is that all it takes to snub your nose (Bush's favorite most often used reason for invading Iraq...'"He snubs his nose at the world community"...sheesh) at Congress?

Instead of a low-speed chase, O.J. Could have just said "no...you have no jurisdiction over me"?

Bluestocking · 1 year ago

With all due respect, Joe...it seems to me that the real question is not "will the Bush administration try to intervene?" because we all know that they certainly will. They probably know far better even than we do just how much damage McClellan is capable of doing to their already-flagging reputations. The real question is "will the Bush administration *succeed* in its attempts to intervene?" McClellan, after all, is no longer an official part of the Bush administration -- and even if he were, his position as White House Press Secretary is (let's face it) is for the most part not much more than a public relations role and hence it's hard to argue that his position holds quite the same degree of sensitivity that Mier's, Rove's, and/or Bolten's did or do.

KerrynowCampau · 1 year ago

I barely recognized Scotty on Countdown last night. I haven't seen him for a long time. Not living a lie looks good on him.

laketahoeblue · 1 year ago

I wonder if the Bush Administration can prevent McClellan from testifying by invoking Executive Privilege, or whether McClellan can/would go ahead and testify regardless. What are the penalties/consequences for an ex-staffer to defy a Presidential claim of Executive Privilege? Can the President direct the Attorney General to arrest him? Can he be charged with treason? Or, would McClellan just no longer be welcome at the Crawford Ranch annual burger bash?

Also, does anybody remember how the day after Ari Fleisher resigned in the middle of the night, the Novak article was printed? I think that was the event that happened that day. The two events were seldom connected by bloggers, and not at all by MSM, as the Novak article didn't really seem relevant until weeks/months later. What does Scotty know that Ari knew?
