Plame Affair: Bush meets—not under oath—with US attorney  

Not that putting Bush under oath would make any practical difference, of course. But least they story doesn't say Bush "visited" with them!

President Bush met for an hour on Thursday [with the U.S. attorney, Pat Fitzgerald. in charge of] probing the Bush administration's alleged leak of the identity of a CIA operative, the White House announced.

Spokesman Scott McClellan also said Bush had retained an attorney, Jim Sharp, to represent him in all matters involving the case.

Gee, was Sharp present? The story doesn't say. [But see below.]

"No one wants to get to the bottom of this matter more than the president of the United States," McClellan said.

Right. And OJ wants to find the real killer...

And from WaPo's coverage, a splendid non-answer from Scott "Sucker MC" McClellan:

Asked if Bush had answered every question, McClellan said, "The president was glad to do his part to cooperate with the investigation. The president was pleased to share whatever information he had with the officials in charge and answer their questions."

I take it that's a No? And from Bloomberg we learn this:

The interview in the Oval Office lasted about one hour and 10 minutes, McClellan said. [Bush] wasn't under oath. Bush was accompanied by his private attorney, Jim Sharp, a former U.S. attorney who heads his own firm in Washington.

"Pleased to share..." I bet.
