Surprise surprise, Scotty "won't comment on a continuing investigation."

White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan said the administration won't comment on a continuing investigation. Cheney spokeswoman Lea Anne McBride referred all questions to Fitzgerald's office.

``We will cooperate with the Department of Justice as this case goes forward,'' McBride said. ``Part of that cooperation is referring press inquiries to the special counsel.''

Randall Samborn, spokesman for Fitzgerald, said the special counsel wouldn't comment beyond the filing.

Administration critics renewed demands that the president reveal more about the White House role.

``The more we hear, the more it is clear this goes way beyond Scooter Libby,'' Democratic Senator Charles Schumer of New York said in a statement. ``President Bush and Vice President Cheney should fully inform the American people of any role in allowing classified information to be leaked.''

1. There's a surprise...
Not.

Wouldn't expect anything else from Stepford Scotty.

2. He should just stay home.
Everything in this administration is under a continuing investigation - or should be.

3. We will cooperate?
...``We will cooperate with the Department of Justice as this case goes forward,'' McBride said. ``Part of that cooperation is referring press inquiries to the special counsel.'...

If they had cooperated, we all would have known long ago that Bush was the source of the leak.

4. Perhaps he would like to comment on a new job search, then.
Each passing day could be the last we hear from Scott McClellan as White House press secretary.

That's what he'll be remembered for.

6. Unlike Ari, Scotty was not quite able to bail before Plame broke
again. Bad timing, douchebag!

7. We will cooperate with the Department of Justice ...
That's the problem, sugar. The fact that this had drug on for this long when they knew very well "who" the leak was, spells OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE if nothing else.
