RaTHer warped Ping to the FReeper who started exposing the fraud.

"Sounds like Rove should "plant" a boot in Hinchey's ass."

Anyone have boots that large?

[Just A Nobody]

Shameful...terrifying, even.

Media Schadenfreude and Media Shenanigans PING

There was COORDINATION between the DNC and CBS News on the story. Karl Rove played no hand in this. The scandal is in the fabrication (which has not been investigated by the press or the government) and the coordination of "October Suprises" between the DNC and media elites.

The media was on the inside of Foleygate too.

[D.P.Roberts]

Ah, that Rove! We're lucky to have such a clever man advising our country.

[Peach]

I swear as God is my witness, at least 75% of the Democrats in Congress are insane. Utterly and completely insane.

[hophead]

Oh! sorry.

[bilhosty]

well if Rove did fool 'em like that they sure stepped into it and deserved every thing they got. Let us hope that rove has more tricks up his sleeve and can get Arthur Ochs sulzberger, Katie Couric and some of the other MSM slime balls.

[weegee]

And enough of America is ignorant or doesn't care because they hand them the reigns to government.

[zbigreddogz]

So let me see what the logic is here. Rove created forged memos that were of such poor quality that FR amateurs could determine they were bogus - but MSM reporters could not. So not only did Rove forge the memos, but he set his mind control ray to "Shemp" and hit Dan Rather and Mary Mapes with a near-lethal dose.

LOL!!!

You are right of course.

Rove paranoia knows no bounds. Certainly no bounds of sanity or logic.

I was tuned in to the Sean Show yesterday when the interview ran, and I could hardly believe what I was hearing. Maurice made his lunatic accusation in a somber, serious and "matter-of-fact" way -- without the least hint of sarcasm, irony or humor. If my understanding is correct that the truly insane don't recognize any aspect of their own insanity, then this Honorable Congressperson would seem to be a truly insane man.

[Just A Nobody]

FYI ping

[RichInOC]

Of course. It couldn't possibly be that Rather and Mapes (and whoever put those s**tty forgeries together) were that stupid.

[lexington minuteman 1775]

Wathing a History Channel thing on Da Vinci, as I read this. Leonardo was a GENIUS.
Hinchey, on the other hand sounds like a typical whacky moonbat.
One had brains and finese. Hinchey was not in line the day they passed out IQ's.
So who is dumber, Hinchey, or the American electorate that elected him?

[jazusamo]

OTOH, if Rove really was the mysterious Lucy Ramirez, then hats off to the old boy.

[bondjamesbond]

Congressman Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) is a moron. The voters of his district should be ashamed of themselves.

[weegee]

What is amazing is how the hunt for Communists in America during the Cold War (psst, there are STILL Communists in America and they lead the anti-Iraq war movement) was completely discredited because of Senator Joseph McCarthy's claims of having a "list" of known Communists. It was considered an outrageous and "dangerous" claim for a Congressman to make.

History done him wrong with what the Socialists on the left (they aren't "liberals") are getting away with in word and deed now.

[Noumenon]

Also remember that Hinchey is out to silence conservative talk radio and blogs via his support of the so-called 'Fairness' doctrine. I heard this stalinist, lying SOB yesterday squirming on the Laura Ingraham show as he evaded answerign her questions. He's definitely a candidate for the guest of honor at a rope-and-lamppost party.

[Howlin]

FGS, these people are certifiable.
