NEWSVIEW: Leak-Hating President, As LeakerNEWSVIEW: the Leak-Hating President As Leaker-In-Chief? a President Better Mean What He Says

WASHINGTON Apr 7, 2006 (AP)— President Bush insists a president "better mean what he says." Those words could return to haunt him.

After long denouncing leaks of all kinds, Bush is confronted with a statement unchallenged by his aides that he authorized a leak of classified material to undermine an Iraq war critic.

The allegation in the CIA leak case threatens the credibility of a president already falling in the polls, and it gives Democrats fresh material to accuse him of hypocrisy.

"In politics, what gets bad gets worse," said GOP strategist Ed Rogers. "And we've been on a a bad roll for quite some time. We're in an environment now where every mistake is a metaphor."

1. Bottom line: It's okay when he does it.
Lying, leaking, breaking law, whatever. He's always got a good reason, even if he won't tell you want it is.

2. He is not telling Senators or Congress
I would think these people would be mad as hell about this.. He has essentially dumped on both the House and Senate and they just take it....
