Ken Mehlman is a tough bird. This Republican group knows how to fight fire with fire. The left and their friends in the MSM are completely flummoxed by it.
Thanks for posting. And kudos to Ken for standing straight against the slanderous accusations against Rove.
Listening to FOX now...Wilson reminds me of Terry McAuliffe.. same snide and deceitful approach. WHO in their right mind takes this guy seriously?
Plame outed Plame--that's Miller's secret
He's a vengeful, snide, partisan hack now trading on his wife's former job.
thanks for posting this.
I like him too. I'm just waiting for the day where he and that crazy Dean are on a show opposite each other.
Or Wilson... More and more this is looking like an organized attempt by Wilson to discredit the President.
"And today's New York Times, if anything, exonerates Karl."
Don't adjust your dial, that sound you hear is only the heads of libs exploding.
Plame outed Plame--that's Miller's secret ??
How do you know this. Is this factual. If so, its big.
Thankfully the Democraps don't know when to shut up after a story they like doesn't pan out.
I hope this is more W rope-a-dope.
Much to my suprise, the Republicans are by and large capitolizing on this and turning it on the dems. The Repbulican talking points have been very good, i.e. "the democrat party is clearly dominated by the angry left and has become the party of moveon and Michael Moore.' I love it, keep it coming.
Oh, and it is not just Ken Melhman who is defending Rove. we have also been hearing from members of the House and Senate who have absolutely gutted Wilson.
The MSM also no longer has the market cornered on the flow of information. That, combined with solid politcal strategists are sending the liberal elites to the trash heap of history. All those years of the Republicans fighting against the current has been a good thing for them and made them more able to fight, whereas the dems on the other hand have had the comfort of having the current carry them in the form of the MSM and they can scarcely keep up when they enter a doldrum where the information flow is 'even' so to speak. And the beautiful thing is, as is evidenced in this latest MSM contrived scandal, is that the libs haven't a clue that they're being taken to the woodshed.
just speculating, but JW did admit (I'm not sure for the first time) that his wife wasn't covert at the time of Novak's story. It seems lawyerly, as though she may need a Clintonesque weaseloff.
The AP made a half-assed attempt yesterday to flog the story that "Republican officials are getting nervous" about Karl Rove. They quoted some local party boss in Arkansas. So the RNC trotted out a press release with quotes of unequivocal support from Elizabeth Dole, Tom Reynolds, Tom DeLay, Mitch McConnell, John Cornyn -- in other words, REAL Republican officials.
Today the AP is running a photo of Rove with a caption saying Rove "is becoming a political liability for the President." Did that interview with Ken Mehlman sound like Rove is a political liability?
The MSM keeps bringing knives to this gunfight, while Mehlman and company are bringing howitzers.
Mehlman should get just as much credit as Rove for the 2004 election campaign. The kid did a hell of a job in the 'purple' states.
With the abysmal behavior and lack of input the Dem's have shown since January, the 2006 elections should favor us handsomely.
Most excellent tone - sounds just like a schoolmarm teaching the angry left a lesson.
They have not yet figured out that the old tactics don't work anymore.
