There was little for the unindicted co-conspirators of the Bush administration to give thanks for this week as the clock winds down on the 14 months they have left in power.

With former White House press secretary Scott McClellan spilling the beans on who told him to lie to the American people and cover up the White House's responsibility for the criminal act of revealing the identity of a covert CIA officer, it clearly was time for some folks to begin drafting their requests for presidential pardons.

McClellan, in a forthcoming book that will tell some, if not all, reveals that his 2003 statements absolving top White House aides Karl Rove and I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby of any involvement in leaking the identity of CIA officer Valerie Plame were untrue — and that the orders to make those statements came from President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, White House chief of staff Andrew Card, Rove and Libby.

McClellan's revelation makes it abundantly clear that a subsequent statement by Bush that White House aides had no involvement in outing Ms. Plame, and that anyone who did would be fired was also, shall we say, inoperative.

We are a better people and this is a better country than that, and this is why, when it's weighed and judged, the Bush presidency will be found to have perverted not only our system but also the very principles on which our nation was founded.

1. Galloway should include the complicit PRESS CORPS who knew for 17 months

that the WH was lying to the American people about their involvement and the press corps WENT ALONG WITH THE LIE, and protected the LIARS for the SEVENTEEN MONTHS before an election where many of them were pushing Bush as an honest straightshooter who says what he means and means what he says and the American people know exactly what he stands for....blah, blah, blah, lie, lie, lie.

The press corps should be jailed along with the Bush gang.

2. Joe Galloway is a true patriot!

"We don’t applaud and cheer an administration and a Congress that make the rich vastly richer, the middle class less secure and the poor even poorer. But this administration has done just that, in violation of our principles and the principles of love, peace and charity that are ingrained in the Christianity that these rogues and charlatans embrace so publicly but violate every day."
