Scott McClellan dodges a barrage of Plamegate questions

White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan found himself between a rock and a hard place yesterday when faced with questions about Karl Rove's involvement in outing CIA covert agent Valerie Plame. So he tapdanced and stammered and refused to give us any info. [Read story.]

In the past, McClellan and Rove had repeatedly denied that Rove had anything to do with the leak.

Given recent developments, it's becoming clear that someone lied.

It seems that some reporters are finally growing a backbone, as they gave McClellan a pretty good grilling yesterday. Let's hope that they keep at it until the full truth comes out and the people responsible are held accountable.
