Robert D. Novak - Parroting the Democrats - washingtonpost.com
In Scott McClellan’s purported tell-all memoir of his trials as President Bush’s press secretary, he virtually ignores Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage’s role leaking to me Valerie Plame’s identity as a CIA employee. That fits the partisan Democratic version of the Plame affair, in keeping with the overall tenor of the book, “What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington’s Culture of Deception.”
Novak destroys the heart of McClellan’s self-aggrandizing pack of lies. It isn’t hard, given that Novak himself was the central player in the Plame affair, and obviously knows considerably more about it than McClellan does.
Hmm. Let me rephrase that. McClellan probably now knows as much as Novak does. He’s just lying about what he does know, in order to sell books and indulge his Bush Derangement Syndrome.
