Oh please, please, PLEASE let this TRUE!

Got this tidbit from a blogger who watched ABCs "This Week"


Source to Stephanopoulos: President Bush Directly Involved In Leak Scandal


Near the end of a round table discussion on ABC’s This Week, George Stephanopoulos dropped this BOMB:

Definitely a political problem but I wonder, George Will, do you think it’s a manageable one for the White House especially if we don’t know whether Fitzgerald is going to write a report or have indictments but if he is able to show as a source close to this told me this week, that President Bush and Vice President Cheney were actually involved in some of these discussions.

.................................................. ..................

This would explain why Bush spent more than an hour answering questions from special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald. It would also fundamentally change the dynamics of the scandal. President Bush could no longer claim he was merely a bystander who wants to “get to the bottom of it.” As Stephanopoulos notes, if Bush played a direct role it could make this scandal completely unmanageable.

In order for Bush or Chenely to be directly implicated in this leak, they'd likely have to be named directly by Karl Rove or Scooter Libby. Three words: Not Gonna Happen.

Yeah, I agree that it probably wont happen, but one can dream. :D

Hears hoping that Peter Fitzgeralds investigation nails some serious ass to the wall.. and that from now til he concludes his investigation, he isnt met with any "accidents"
