Deborah Orin also mentioned that Wilson's original story was bull to begin with. Michael Isokoff, of course, rushed in to say this isn't about Joe Wilson's veracity. Yet it is--the whole idea of Rove's talking about this on background is to add fuel to the idea that Wilson's info was bad, and that he was not sent on the misson based on merit but personal connections.

BTW, isn't it interesting how the DUmmies are all of a sudden so concerned with the health and well-being of our intelligence officers? So much for the CIA lying about WMD.

Gee, I missed it when they asked Clinton to resign for perjury and obstruction of justice. Must've been at the mall that day.

After nearly five years I'm growing bored with the left. They keep manufacturing scandal after scandal...that goes nowhere. Where's the thrill? It's entirely too predictable. I can't even keep track of their failures anymore.

Dems urge

Dems demand

Dems insist

Dems declare

That side looks stupid all the time; doesn't stop them from looking stupid again and again.

I laugh when this woman is called a 'covert agent.' What a joke.

Well, golly, let's see. Who haven't the liberals demanded a resignation from? On my short list I have: Rumsfeld, Ridge, Cheney, Ashcroft, Powell.

But *this* is supposed to be something, well, serious.

"I can't even keep track of their failures anymore."

They've failed with every other resignation demand. But this one, you see, is supposed to be the real deal.

Why? They've manufactured another idiotic bit of propaganda to get themselves in a lather. Again.

This last ditch attempt to blame Rove is truly hilarious. When it all comes out that Wilson himself was the leaker, a lot of people on the other side are going to look really stupid(er).

I hate to burst your bubble of fantasy, but if/when it comes out that Wilson himself was the leaker (or some other democrat mole in the executive branch) it will not make the slightest difference to the Democrats and the MSM. They will go right on spouting this story as if it had been proved to be the gospel truth, and their sheep-like followers will all nod at each other and go "Baaaaaa."

It will pass into the "recieved wisdom" of the left that Rove and Bush destroyed Plame's "undercover career" and committed "treason," or whatever, and the story will be repeated for the next 50 years, or until our side stops talking about Bill Clinton's misdeeds.

That's all this is about, by the way. They know da*n well that Clinton was a reprehensible disgrace of a president, (even theough they never publicly acknowledge that he so much as tore the "do not remove" tag off a White House matress) and it drives them nuts. Well, it is one of the many things that drives them nuts.

Well, many of them already are nuts, so its kind of academic.

If you don't merit a call for resignation or impeachment from the Libs & MSM you aren't doing your job. :-D

Democrat politician and the MSM trying to fabricate a scandal does not a scandal make - except against them.

Problems: solutions...

South exterior wall of White House overdue for painting: Fire Rove.

White House memo misspelled clinton: Fire Rove.

Trickster gives AP bogus info that could have been verified with a simple phone call: Fire Rove.

T. Kennedy stumbles in drunken stupor: Fire Rove.

Sandra O'Connor retires: Fire Rove.

Islamists attack London: Fire Rove.

Is it just me or is a pattern developing among Democrats.

"BTW, isn't it interesting how the DUmmies are all of a sudden so concerned with the health and well-being of our intelligence officers? So much for the CIA lying about WMD."

The Leftist moonbats could care less about the CIA. They've spent decades maligning it as an institution. Now, of course, since it's in their best interest to appear patriotic, well, they don't mind using the CIA for whatever purposes they have at hand.

Liberals are political opportunists. They always play political offense. They continually agitate against America, and they're perfectly willing to do anything to achieve political power.

"The recent disclosures about Mr. Rove's actions have such serious implications that we can no longer responsibly ignore them. The intentional disclosure of a covert CIA agent's identity would be an act of treason," Waxman said."

Waxman has a lot of gall to say something like this when his party is doing its best to sell out America to the terrorists and put our soldiers in harm's way!

What "turban" Durbin did was treason, not Rove's statement.

What Clinton and his administration did to sell out the country during Chinagate was treason.

Naturally, the liberal media will dutifully report this to death when they ignored Durbin's statements. It smacks of the TANG/Swiftboat coverage all over again.

That's exactly right. They're almost out of people to demand resginations from. They tried it Delay and Ridge and Ashcroft and a whole host of others. And now they're left frothing and spewing over Rove.

Bush should announce he just gave Rove a raise for his deft handling of the Plame investigation. ...might ruin his chances for re-election though. :-)
