He's everywhere, I tell you! Everywhere!!!
Well, given that Hinchey is a Member of Congress and Members of Congress have been known to do such things in the past, I think it is only reasonable to speculate that, given his position, it is certainly possible that Mr. Hinchey may have been doing what you have described.
Or not. Who knows?
I bet Karl's sides hurt from laughing.
this nut job, can't even get one sentence out without a lie or distortion.
Still, amazing that judy called him even on the rove fantasy.Still, he should be careful of what he wishes for. A real investigation will likely tie this to kerry.
I'm not Karl Rove. I am Dick Cheney but please keep it quiet.
Thanks
Dick
WOODRUFF to Hinchey: But, at this point, it is just imagination, is that correct?
Yes.... as the Rolling Stones used to say:
****
It was just my imagination, once again
Running away with me
It was just my imagination
Running away with me
****
This Hinchey guy is "out there".
I feed him this idea in a fake memo, from Karl Rove to me. The whole plot is to make Hinchey look even dumber than before. Please don't let this get out.
Sincerely
Dick Cheney
VP USA
The Congress is filled with these jokes. Hell: I can hardly find the time to name all of them. We all know them Dems and Rino's.
Here he is with an inscrutible smile. He is sort of Yoda for our side. Should the dims ever hunt us down betray and murder us he will retreat to a bog state (maybe Louisiana) where he will train new young jedi knights.
People thinking it's an indictment of Rove don't realize that the culprit is not Rove (if true), but, ahem, the repository of wisdom in our age, Mr. Rather.
I've met a few Congress critters in my day. Hinchey's the only one so far, though, who left me afterwards with the desperate desire to bathe.
Hinchey and Weasley Clark.......perfect together.......graduates of the michaelmoore school of disinformation.
um....wasn't that a Temptations hit?
If there was ever any doubt that many of our elected representatives (predominately the dem/liberal ones) are among the dumbest people on the planet...
May The Source be with you...
WOODRUFF: Well, I'm reading here a transcript of what you said, you said: "I have my own beliefs about how that happened. It originated with Karl Rove in my belief in the White House." What do you know that you base that on?
HINCHEY: Well, I think there's a great deal of circumstantial information and factual information. Mr. Rove, for example, has been involved in a host of political dirty tricks that are traceable back -- all the way back to the 1970s, '80s, '90s, right on up to the present. The way in which he treated Senator McCain, for example, in the context of the 2000 election.
So it doesn't take an awful lot of imagination if you're thinking about who it is that might have produced these false documents to try to mislead people in this very cynical way. It would take someone very brilliant, very cynical, very Machiavellian, and it doesn't take a lot of imagination to come up with the name of Karl Rove as a possibility of having done that.
WOODRUFF: But, at this point, it is just imagination, is that correct?
HINCHEY: It's a possibility, yes. It's a possibility based upon circumstantial evidence and the history of his behavior over the course of several decades.
WOODRUFF: Well, you know, there was an independent panel that CBS asked to look into this -- you know, to look into how CBS got these documents, what went wrong with the story that appears on "60 MINUTES." They were not able to conclude where these documents came from. They said, finally, they weren't even able to determine whether these documents were authentic or whether they were forged. So my question is, how are you in a position to know more than they or others who have investigated this now?
HINCHEY: Well, Judy, no one has come to any conclusions and that's the unfortunate thing. We need to get to the bottom of this. We need to get to the bottom of the whole business of manipulating the media that has gone on in the context of this administration.
I think that that's critically important. The essence of this democracy is really at stake. If people sitting back in their living rooms can't rely upon the information they're getting over the news channel or over the radio, then very important aspects of this Democratic system become eroded.
So, we need to get to the bottom of it, that's the point here. I'm quite surprised, frankly, that this has gotten all the attention that it has, but in a way I'm grateful that it has because it's important for us to be concerned about these things. Manipulating the media in this kind of a cynical way is antithetical to what we stand for as a nation, we need to find out who did it.
WOODRUFF: But some would say, listening to what you said and hearing your acknowledgment that you don't have any proof, that it's irresponsible or -- let me ask you, do you think it's responsible for you to say this without evidence?
HINCHEY: I think it's very responsible of me to speculate about where this manipulation is coming from. Yes. I think it's important to speculate about it, I think it's important to discuss it and I think it's important to try to stimulate the investigative agencies to look into this.
Unfortunately, the Congress is not doing its job. There are -- this is something that ought to be investigated by the Congress of the United States. But this Congress is not doing its job. It's not standing up for the American people the way it should. And, as a consequence, there is a certain amount of frustration out there and that frustration was voiced by the people who attended the meeting that I held last Saturday.
WOODRUFF: We're going to have to leave it there, Congressman Maurice Hinchey. And again, we did try to reach the White House to get their comment on all of this, we were not able to get a comment from them.
The scary part is that these nuts are running our country.
I never met Hinchley, I have met others, its amazing how like chameleons they take on the color of the crowd they are with. You would be amazed at how they praise the country and our flag when they are with veterans, but they wont pass a flag amendment.
