This is kind of like the cop who comes out and says that there is corruption in the dept.

Suddenly he is attacked from all sides. Why didn't he say anything sooner? Why wasn't he completely clean? etc.

What McClellan did was cross the thin blue line and said that the cops in the White House were corrupt. Again, no shocker. The American people have believed the Bush WH is nothing but incompetence and corruption.

Default No, it's not really like that

Because it would make him like the eigth "cop" to try and do it - it's just piling on to a profitable trend at this point. He says nothing new. Most "cops" coming out to allege corruption would be novel. Nothing novel here.

What's more he has to speculate and fabricate many of his findings because - he - was - not - there.

So it's more like a cop coming out and speculating on what two other cops were saying when they shut the doors for a routine meeting. That's what McClellan does with Rove and Libby.

Mike, don't pretend like you support McClellan out of some higher moral principle. You simply agree with what he said. I've got no problem with that, but let's call a spade a spade.
