If you're like me, you are starting your Christmas shopping in earnest on Black Friday, so first of all, good luck navigating those crowds and try to stay in the holiday spirit. A lot of parents I know are staying away from buying toys for their kids, though, with the 60-plus recalls issued by the Consumer Product Safety Commission this year. It's frustrating to try and keep up with what's dangerous and what's not on the shelves this season and even more difficult to try and get answers about who is responsible for all these dangerous toys getting into our stores in the first place. Someone has to be held accountable. In the meantime, I'm sticking to books and clothes for the kids this Christmas!

Former White House press secretary Scott McClellan blames President Bush and Vice President *** Cheney for efforts to mislead the public about the role of White House aides in leaking the identity of a CIA operative.

In an excerpt from his forthcoming book, McClellan recounts the 2003 news conference in which he told reporters that aides Karl Rove and I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby were "not involved" in the leak involving operative Valerie Plame.

"There was one problem. It was not true," McClellan writes, according to a brief excerpt released Tuesday. "I had unknowingly passed along false information. And five of the highest-ranking officials in the administration were involved in my doing so: Rove, Libby, the vice president, the president''''s chief of staff and the president himself."

Mr. Bush''''s chief of staff at the time was Andrew Card.

ITS SO FUNNY, EVERYDAY WE HAVE MORE AND MORE OF THEM COMMING FORWORD TO SAY THE TRUTH..

AND OUR TRUSTED CONGRESS STILL DOES NOTHING TO GET THESE SCUM BAGS OUT..
