A very revealing moment. For the first time the president was asked, now that all the legal stuff is over and there’s nothing more pending, whether he was disappointed in the fact that a number of his top advisors were responsible for revealing the name of a covert CIA operative.
He couldn’t even manage a perfunctory statement of disappointment or regret. He managed to slip in a dig at Rich Armitage, a general statement that the whole thing had been very rough on the White House staff and that now “we’re” moving on.
Needless to say, the president was involved from day one. He was always in favor of doing it. And he basically said so again today. Truly a shameful man. Will have the video momentarily.
Late Update: Here’s the clip:
