See the White Boys Sweat!

"No one wants to get to the bottom of it more than the president of the United States."

That kind of stand-up comedy you just can't get on Comedy Central. No, THAT was El Presidente's press secretary Scott McClellan this afternoon blandly maintaining that his boss's earlier boast that anyone on the White House staff involved in leaking the identity of Valerie Plame as a CIA agent would be fired. Promptly. Fired. Apparently, that previous statement is now inoperable.

And all of a sudden, the White House that talked freely about the special investigation into the leak while they were denying that any of them had anything to do with it is now piously saying they can't talk about an on-going criminal investigation because it wouldn't be right.

But here: read the transcript of this afternoon's confrontation between White House correspondents (who FINALLY act as though they really, truly want to be JOURNALISTS after all) and Mr. McClellan. It ain't a pretty picture, but it's funny as hell.
