Washington—In a stunning, White House-busting development, Rep. John Conyers, D-MI, has insisted that Karl Rove be marched to Gitmo till he reveals that he’s the source of the leak uncovering CIA agent Valerie Plame.
In a letter that is now being circulated in the U.S. House of Representatives, the Michigan Democrat cited recent reports that Rove discussed Plame with Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper before she was outed as a CIA agent in July 2003, conclusively linking Rove as the new ‘Deep Throat’ and this case as the Watergate of its day.
The Conyer letter urges Bush to require Rove to either come forward immediately to explain his role in the Valerie Plame matter or for him to resign from the administration. But Conyers has upped the ante and is insisting that President Bush take immediate action or resign as President of the United States. He demands that Rove is immediately sent to Gitmo to get a taste of his own torture medicine.
“That information includes,” Conyers stated, “Vice President Cheney—what he knew and when he knew it—Time reporter Matt Cooper, and the involvement of President Bush, as well as how deep Mr. Bush’s involvement runs. It was only a matter of time before this administration shot itself in the foot. Democrats have been patient for over four years, but we’re not gonna take this kind of corruption at the highest levels. Send Rove to Gitmo now, Mr. Bush! It’s time to take out the garbage!”
Three weeks ago Conyers staged a mock impeachment hearing based on the so-called Downing Street Memo, which purports to show that Bush lied about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, only serving as another nail in a long line of nails in the coffin of the administration.
“This is almost eerie as to how it compares to Watergate,” noted Howard Dean, Democratic National Committee Chairman and former presidential candidate. “W. Mark Felt—a high level government source like Rove—brought down a president. Nixon was in a quagmire. Bush is in a quagmire. Nixon tried triangulation. Rove tried triangulation. The media gave an assist to Felt. The media is giving an assist to Rove. It would all be so creepy if it wasn’t great news! I’m with Representative Conyers. Send him down to Gitmo! That’s what happens when you practice the culture of corruption!”
The saga continued as New York Times reporter Judith Miller was sent to jail Wednesday after a federal judge declared that she was “defying the law” for refusing to divulge the name of a confidential source. The action by the judge virtually sealed Karl Rove’s fate, dooming him to a concrete cell where torture is the order of the day.
Sen. John Kerry, D-MA, said that the revelation really wasn’t a surprise. “These kinds of dirty, underhanded tactics were common place during the 2004 campaign. This was all under the tutelage of Karl Rove. If only the people would’ve listened then!”
“Not to emphasize Tom Delay, but it’s time to bring the hammer down on Karl Rove. Hi ho, Hi ho, it’s off to Gitmo Karl Rove goes,” fired Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-MA, in the middle of polishing off a bottle of Jack Daniels.
Despite the enormous odds and overwhelming lack of evidence, the Democrats and mainstream media will stop at nothing to send Karl Rove to Guantannamo Bay Prison. “No amount of rain, sleet or fear of jail will stop us from our current mission,” stated former 60 Minutes anchor Dan Rather. “From anonymous sources to falsified memos, Democrats in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory! We will break the fascist grip on the White House, ruining a legacy!”
Gitmo ~ Bump!
Was she freeloading on the CIA payroll? If everybody knows that she was a CIA agent, then she's off the payroll. One less bureaucrat feeding from the trough.
Well .. I wouldn't put anything past Conyers.
And .. the dems are despondent that Rove is not the leaker, and even more dispondent that it's very possibly one of their own.
Isn't it seriously a question that Conyers is not quite all there ..?? I mean this kind of illogical statement has to stop.
We have a group of people out there who have no idea how govt runs (because they were not taught in school), and they are willing to believe anything any democrat says, no matter how illogical or looney.
Conyers has finally, well-and-truly lost it.
Nice piece....seriously, though, will we, after London, hear more about Dem hearings on the "Downing Street memo"..or the menu at Gitmo? I think not..
Stay on em,maybe we'll have the pleasure some day of seeing them frog-marched off to the pokie! ;^)
LOL!
The prosecutor in the case has already said, "Rove is not the subject of my investigation".
The truth is right in front of the dems - but it doesn't fit their agenda - so they turn a deaf ear.
But .. I agree with you that these off the wall statements are already hurting the dems. When they say things like - "there's no connection between Iraq and the terrorists" - people roll their eyes. The public knows THERE IS A CONNECTION. Those statements by the dems are making them look really ignorant and out of touch.
You should be pinging DU on these, Chris. They would think they've died and gone to Heaven. Or wherever it is DU types go when they die.
They surely wouldn't protest Roves "torture"
Nope just Conyers of Michigan being STUPID again!
Now send me to Gitmo! I love the hot weather and those guys are certainly eating better than me!
Glad you enjoyed it, P. Thanks for reading.
I think you're right, SW. Thanks for reading.
I agree.
It's a darn shame. :) Thanks for reading, kezekiel.
Great graphic, FormerACLUM. Thanks for posting it.
I'll go in Rove's place.
But only if Conyers goes to a Chinese Lao Gai. (spelling?)
Thanks for reading, funkywbr. Glad you enjoyed it.
