You are going from one thread to another spreading doom and gloom. Tell me one single story(lie) created by liberals and their media whores that did any "real" damage to President Bush, his administration, or his policies, just one story(lie). There is none. This story is not different, like the many other stories(lies) before it, liberals and their media whores who always declare early victories, will end up in a crushing defeat. We are the one who burned the media one million time in the last 4 1/2 years. Remember that we have destroyed Dan Rather the king of liberal press.
Not spreading doom and gloom, merely noting that if Rove had never even spoken to this guy, there would be no story connecting him to Plame. There would be no e-mail, no matter how inocuous it may turn out to be. There would be no lawyeresque statement needed about how he did not actually say Plame's name. No matter how this eventually plays out, at the very least it is a distraction the White House doesn't need. There is no reason any administration official should ever talk privately to hostile members of the press.
