Ok, I read your post wrong. I thought it said, “Who’s PLAYING McClellan?”. Although, maybe my answer still applies, if you consider Soros as the dough boy.

Iraq Questions Fair Game for McClellan?
By Bob Deans | Wednesday, June 18, 2008, 11:19 AM

Former White House spokesman Scott McClellan will likely face questions about the war in Iraq when he goes before the House Judiciary Committee on Friday.

That’s the word among aides helping members prepare for the high-profile, election-year hearing.

The hearing was set to focus on what McClellan knew - and didn’t know - about the roles of Karl Rove, Scooter Libby and other senior White House officials in the 2003 outing of former CIA agent Valerie Plame.

Once McClellan is sworn in, though, committee members are free to ask whatever they want.

“We’re hearing from (Democrats) that once McClellan sits down it’s not going to be about Plame, it’s going to be about Iraq,” said one Republican aide.

McClellan, who left the White House two years ago, returned to the media spotlight in May, with the publication of his memoir recounting the three years (2003-2006) he spent as press secretary to President Bush.

In his book, “What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington’s Culture of Deception,” McClellan writes that “the Iraq war was not necessary” and charges that the administration “made a decision to turn away from candor and honesty when those qualities were most needed.”

Lines like those raise questions - especially in an election year.

His publishing house is underwritten by Soros. About 10 years ago Soros vowed to bring down the US economy. Looks like he is keeping his promise. He is the puppet master behind the DNC and the Obamination.

Hey, this is Scott’s big moment... This is the pay-off for his 30 pieces of silver... The old stammering will be replaced by determined talking points developed by his Soros minders. Fellow travelers in the mainstream media will embrace every syllable. This will be the first “Bush spokesman” to get a respectful hearing on Capitol Hill.

Bingo!

As Rush loves to say, "follow the money".

Soros is Obama's puppetmaster.

McClellan is a Soros' useful idiot.

God give us men. The time demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith, and willing hands;
Men whom the lust of office does not kill;
Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy;
Men who possess opinions and a will;
Men who have honor; men who will not lie;
Men who can stand before a demagogue
And dam his treacherous flatteries without winking;
Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog
In public duty and in private thinking. — Josiah Gilbert Holland. 1819-1881

Under oath? That remains to be seen.

Of course, Valerie Plame committed perjury and is now under indictment much the same as Scooter Libby. Oh wait.......DemoRats are NEVER held accountable for their actions.
