Look Who's Talking
Yesterday Scott McClellan insisted no less than eight times that the White House would not comment on the ongoing investigation of the source of the Valerie Plame leak. But today, the Republican National Committee issued a press release entitled, RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman Statement On The Partisan Attack On Karl Rove. !!!
Addendum: When Scott McClellan was asked about the Rove matter during today's White House press briefing he replied, "I don't think we should be pre-judging the outcome of any investigation at this point."
2nd addendum: John Kerry and Hillary Clinton call on President Bush to fire Karl Rove. If these two are willing to put themselve out there the case against Rove must have legs!
Comments
it was more than eight. according to the Washington Post:
"The 32-minute pummeling was perhaps the worst McClellan received since he got the job two years ago. His eyes were red and tired. He wiggled his foot nervously behind the lectern and robotically refused to answer no fewer than 35 questions about Rove and the outing of the CIA's Valerie Plame. Twenty-two times McClellan repeated that an 'ongoing' investigation prevented him from explaining the gap between his past statements and the facts."

Thanks for the correction, Annika. I blogged that one in a hurry, and you're right.
