There is an historic permanent breakdown of White House credibility under way right now. The mainstream media is not missing it, either. Do anything you can on c-span, whitehouse.gov, or c-span’s website to see today’s McClellan press briefing.
Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., citing Bush’s call two years ago to find the person who leaked the CIA identity of Wilson’s wife, Valerie Plame, said the latest disclosures means the president needs to go no further than a mirror.
In his court filing, Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald asserted that “the president was unaware of the role” that Libby “had in fact played in disclosing” Plame’s CIA status. The prosecutor gave no such assurance, though, regarding Cheney.
UPDATE: Think I’m kidding about the mainstream media “getting it?” This is the top pic at MSNBC:
