Let McClellan Sing Like a Bird, If He Can

The article starts with these words: "President Bush's former spokesman, Scott McClellan, will testify before a House committee next week about whether Vice President Dick Cheney ordered him to make misleading public statements about the leaking of CIA agent Valerie Plame's identity." Although we suspect that this is nothing more than a fishing expedition led by Rep. John Conyers, House Judiciary Committee chairman, McClellan has the right either to add new insights to this subject, or make a fool of himself, if it turns out that a great deal of material in his book was leftist boilerplate supplied by his editor rather than his own observations.

Meanwhile, Democratic representative and former presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich has filed a resolution calling for the impeachment of President Bush. It is not expected to go very far, as the Bush Administration is nearly over, the move has not been blessed by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and many members of Congress, including Kucinich, are preoccupied with re-election campaigns.
