BUSH CONTACTS OUTSIDE ATTORNEY IN LEAK CASE: ABC News' Kate Snow reports that President Bush has contacted an outside attorney in case over leak of name of CIA operative Valerie Plume, wife of former Ambassador Joseph Wilson...
Man, he IS Sharp. Razor Sharp!!!
But of course! The President made an historic speech today.
And...the Iraqi government is on track, the economy is growing, the "9/11 Commission" is a bust, Americans trust the President, the Dimms are stuck with Miss Kerry...and they're without an issue.
So, for the DemonRats it's back to the beginning of their smear campaign.
Has everyone forgotten that Bush is about to go overseas, where he KNOWS there will be people there who want to kill him? Some people like handle probate and other issues under these kinds of circumstances.
And if it stokes media fires, and lets those fools get overconfident and out of control, so much the better?
LOL! Clinton was for lawyers what George Washington was for beds. There wasn't a lawyer within 100 miles of clinton who hadn't been retained by him at one time or another.
In addition to the Plame leak, there is also the Chalabi affair, which I think is extremely weird and still a huge mystery. That worries me more than this; something very weird was going on around Chalabi. Either someone in the DOD or State was feeding him secrets, or elements in the CIA are trying to undermine Bush, or . . . ?
Me neither....not to be mean to Dubya, but I don't think they let him make phone calls to the press very often.
Valerie Plume?
DOOMED!
Oh that's nothing .. a normal procedure
The Liberals are blowing this out of portion
Nothing new there
And why exactly would the WH tell the world this anyway? The President can't retain a personal attorney without the WH leaking it or reporting it and it getting blabbed on ABC news?
What if it is?
What do you make of it?
Since we know President Bush didn't do anything wrong, it can't be bad in and of itself.
So what's with the "WOW"?
Take a chill pill please .. this is nothing .. just the liberals over reacting ...
nothing here. Let's ASSUME that the White House leaked the name. Do you think Bush himself was personally involved? I rest my case.
An alternate and truthful headline could have been:
BUSH DECIDES AGAINST RETAINING LAWYER FOR CIA LEAK INVESTIGATION
"I have no doubt whatsoever - NONE - that if this Plame thing had involved a Democratic administration, the whole thing would have died a quiet death a year ago - no investigation, no grand jury, NOTHING. And that makes me livid."
Why would it make you livid if there is nothing to the story? Clinton was the most investigated President in our lifetimes (for good reason), and had this happened on his watch, I can guarantee some dust would be kicked up.
How does anyone "leak" something universally known?
