I was beside myself with amazement as NBC Chief White House correspondent David Gregory questioned White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan at today's White House Press Briefing. Mr. Gregory didn't let up:
Do you stand by your statement from the fall of 2003 when you were asked specifically about Karl and Elliott Abrams and Scooter Libby, and you said, "I've gone to each of those gentlemen, and they have told me they are not involved in this" -- do you stand by that statement?
And again,
Scott, I mean, just -- I mean, this is ridiculous. The notion that you're going to stand before us after having commented with that level of detail and tell people watching this that somehow you decided not to talk. You've got a public record out there. Do you stand by your remarks from that podium, or not?
David Gregory interviewed Karl Rove in the past on NBC's "Hardball" (substituting for host Chris Matthews) before most of the new information implicating Karl Rove in the Valerie Plame case came to light, after Time Magazine turned over their email records to the special investigator in this case. Interesting, as you may recall, Karl Rove called MSNBC "Hardball" host Chris Matthews and told him that Wilson's wife was "fair game."
Looks like America is finally growing a spine.
