The smokeless gun

Yesterday certain of the usual suspects were using excerpts from former White House press secretary Scott McClellan forthcoming book to gleefully argue that the president not only knew about Scooter Libby’s role in the Valerie Plame “outing”, but that he had a direct role in propagating a deception.

Grand juries were wished for, and the scent of – wait for it – impeachment was once again in the air. It was Merry Fitzmas come again, but in November!

Today? Not so much.

Former White House spokesman Scott McClellan does not believe President Bush lied to him about the role of White House aides I. Lewis Scooter Libby or Karl Rove in the leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame’s identity, according to McClellan’s publisher.

Peter Osnos, the founder and editor-in-chief of Public Affairs Books, which is publishing McClellan’s book in April, tells NBC from his Connecticut home that McCLellan, “Did not intend to suggest Bush lied to him.”

The poor, dear things. So often have they raised up hopes, only to have them cruelly disappointed.

Oh, well: Nothing for it but to try, try again.
