Already getting grief from his former White House colleagues, former Bush spokesman Scott McClellan is now being asked to testify before Congress about the revelations contained in his scathing new memoir.

Rep. Robert Wexler (D-FL), a key Bush antagonist and member of the House Judiciary Committee, says McClellan needs to tell Congress the full story about potential White House conspiring around the leak of a CIA officer's name and propaganda efforts that preceded the invasion of Iraq.

Wexler released a statement Wednesday calling for McClellan to tesitfy under oath before the Judiciary committee.

“The admissions made by Scott McClellan in his new book are earth-shattering and allege facts to establish that Karl Rove and Scooter Libby – and possibly Vice President Cheney - conspired to obstruct justice by lying about their role in the Plame Wilson matter and that the Bush Administration deliberately lied to the American people in order to take us to war in Iraq," Wexler said. "Scott McClellan must now appear before the House Judiciary Committee under oath to tell Congress and the American people how President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, Scooter Libby, and White House officials deliberately orchestrated a massive propaganda campaign to sell the war in Iraq to the American people.

4. Lift up the rocks

and uncover the slimy creatures beneath!
Do you think Scotty anticipated testifying under oath after this "tell-all"?
Maybe he's covering his ass when the indictments come down? Hey, I can dream!
The repugs are saying this won't get more than a few day's coverage.....wanna bet you criminal bastards???

5. He will do it unless he is somehow blocked by a Bush maneuver.

[Individualist]

6. ...or a DLC maneuver.

More likely the latter than the former.

7. Here's hoping this comes to pass

8. Scott (John Dean) McCelland Worked For *Co For Years And Knows How They Think And......

how they go after people that become disloyal to them. Do you think that is why Scott is waiting a day before he goes on his public book tour. Is he letting *Co further put their foot in it by discrediting him and calling him a 'disgruntled employee' and then spring something on them that is not written in the book? Has Scott set a trap for *Co?
