Lawrence O'Donnell: Update on Rove [Today! July 3rd! ROTFLMAO!]

Well, for one thing, O'Donnell doesn't quote the rest of Luskin's statement: Namely, that the prosecutor told Rove he is not the target of the investigation.

And it's quite telling I think, for O'Donnell to mention "traction for his story". Obviously, "traction" to malign Rove is what is on his mind.

Less than an hour ago, I watched a replay of O'Donnell on The McLaughlin Group. O'Donnell said himself he didn't think Rove could be prosecuted for outting an operative, rather he thinks Fitzgerald is going after Rove on perjury charges.

As did I. He wondered aloud how many more minutes Rove had to continue in his position. He got a laugh out of me.

I hereby invoke the "Chewbacca Defense". "Look at the monkey!"

rather he thinks Fitzgerald is going after Rove on perjury charges.

Dear God, is he posting this stuff from an insane asylum?

[Howlin]

And of course, we know he has, because if he weren't addicted to cocaine he would stop me from getting traction with the story...

I'm all over that rumor! Glad to help!

[Miss Marple]

Well, you know, it all fits with a cocaine addiction: Hollywood contact who is a user, paranoia, hyper-emotional, delusions of grandeur...yep, I think cocaine is the explanation.

I invite others who know about this to comment on this thread. Perhaps they could ask around on other forums and blogs as well. Couldn't hurt, could it?

[anonymous_user]

On other boards they already have Rove impeached, or no, wait, Bush, Ooooh, I F&$(*%$ hate the all SOOO BAD!!!

[SERKIT]

He needs a bunny on his head, with a pancake on its head.

On Saturday, Luskin decided to reveal that Rove did have at least one conversation with Cooper,

Yeah, Larry, they decided to "reveal" this for the umpteenth time.

Here's a liberal column from over a year ago:

More details emerge on the Plame investigation, as Karl Rove's testimony is revealed for the first time.

March 8, 2004

President Bush's chief political adviser, Karl Rove, told the FBI in an interview last October that he circulated and discussed damaging information regarding CIA operative Valerie Plame with others in the White House, outside political consultants, and journalists, according to a government official and an attorney familiar with the ongoing special counsel's investigation of the matter.

But Rove also adamantly insisted to the FBI that he was not the administration official who leaked the information that Plame was a covert CIA operative to conservative columnist Robert Novak last July. Rather, Rove insisted, he had only circulated information about Plame after it had appeared in Novak's column. He also told the FBI, the same sources said, that circulating the information was a legitimate means to counter what he claimed was politically motivated criticism of the Bush administration by Plame's husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson.

~snip~

The characterizations in the 2004 citation are the lefty pov, but the bare facts are what we've long known and O'Donnell (and Newsweek) provided nothing new.

The 2004 column goes on to darkly mention Scooter Libby who has long since been cleared after he, like Rove, signed confidentiality waivers and reporters were compelled (and they fought it every step of the way) to admit Libby was not the source and you can bet that the reporters that have testified so far have cleared Rove, as well.

Thank you very much for the ping.

[Republican Red]

If I was Rove I would sue O'Donnell for slander, defamation of character and now it seems libel.

Maybe under a law suit the leaker's name - who I would wager is a democrat - would come out.

[cyncooper]

If what I have reported is not true, if Karl Rove is not Matt Cooper’s source, Rove could prove that instantly by telling us what he told the grand jury.

On the other hand, Old Lar, if Rove has signed a confidentiality waiver (he has), what's stopping Matt Cooper from testifying about Rove being "the source"?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?

I'll have to go with the "You're a Creepy Liar", Larry.

[cyncooper]

Trust me, he doesn't have a point. But you're right about the padded room.

Just doing my part.

[Patriot from Philly]

O'Donnell wants to bait Rove into a discussion with him. I don't know why he wants to do that. Perhaps he wants to be the new leader of the moonbats. I always thought the leaker was Powell who did it unintentionally.

[nj26]

Does anybody know if he's hooked up with Maureen Dowd yet? Those two seem like a match made in (hell).

[Political Junkie Too]

Hello, Lawrence, come back to Planet Earth someday. You broke nothing except your reputation.

O'Donnell should go back to being head-writer for The West Wing.

-PJ

[summer]

I am beginning to think maybe he should be a patient in a west wing somewhere. Really, this is ridiculous what he is saying, that Rove should just publicly disclose all his testimony given in secret to a grand jury. Just go ahead, Karl, break the law, because I, Lawrence O'Donnel, said you can do it.

Meanwhile, everytime this O'Donnell opens his mouth, a bunch of news organizations report his drivel in this matter -- new, from EditorsandPublishers.com:

Lawyer Defends Rove, O'Donnell Does Not Buy It

However, even some Dems are skeptical now. The above article did not exactly attract a record-breaking number of Dem posters at this Dem site where it is posted HERE.
