McClellan’s suspicious suspicions

Democrats and Leftists around the country held their collective breath as Scott McClellan testified to Congress yesterday about the White House’s involvement in the Valerie Plame case. In a futile exercise that could be accurately described as mental masturbation, McClellan used the term “suspicion” nine times according to the Washington Time‘s Stephen Dinan;

Nine times Mr. McClellan said he has a “suspicion” of serious wrongdoing at the White House, particularly on the part of Vice President Dick Cheney, whose former chief of staff was convicted of obstruction of justice for trying to cover up the leak of a CIA operative’s identity.

“The continuing cloud of suspicion over the White House is not something I can remove, because I only know one part of the story,” he told the House Judiciary Committee. “Only those who know the underlying truth can bring this to an end. Sadly, they remain silent.”

Sadly? Sadly for whom, Scottie? For you because your book and you testimony are sadly weak? They don’t even  rise to the level of “interesting” without the media to pump up the content. But, that’s all it takes for some of the imbeciles in Democrat caucus;

But Democrats said the implication of the testimony was clear to them.

“Mr. Cheney is the only one left, the only likely suspect to have ordered the leak,” said Rep. Robert Wexler, Florida Democrat, citing to a note obtained during the legal proceedings against Mr. Libby. “The vice president’s own hand betrays him and Libby and implicates the president of the United States. These facts and your testimony, Mr. McClellan, are more than enough, in my view, to open up impeachment hearings.”

That’s the same Bob Wexler who stood in front of every camera he could find in 1998 and declared Bill Clinton innocent, that his impeachment was about “personal” matters (for which Clinton later lost his law license). Nevermind that Clinton lied to America as well as his staff. That was “personal”. I almost broke my mute button off of my remote trying to avoid Wexler’s whiny nonsensical defense of the indefensible. However, now Wexler is trying to revive his career by accepting McClellan’s “suspicions”.

I’m sure Wexler was convinced that President Bush choking on a pretzel was enough evidence for impeachment.
