And in the meantime, the much feared 'deficit' dropped a mysterious $90B overnight and looks to be at $250B by the end of the year (something Bush promised to do by 2008). I can't remember if the NYT put this great news on page 1....hmmm....

"...by the fact that the Bush administration was more concerned about retaliating against a political enemies than making sure our intelligence was correct in Iraq?"

What fact? You have any evidence of this?

The left ROUTINELY bumps up the liberal articles and photos and votes DOWN the "conservative" news. Why visitors are permitted to DUpe the public by "rating" the day's news, I don't know. It does affect what articles are widely seen.

It is ZOGBYISM. The leftist "McCarthyism". Drag a conservative's name through the mud whether he has done anything or not. Fabricate the evidence and then claim "the story is true even if the evidence is a hoax" with no criticism from other media sources.

Schools had BETTER teach the youngun's about this crap after the libs are exposed to those hold outs who don't see them for the lying socialists they are. I won't stand for their despotism. They loved Uncle Joe Stalin and they are Saddamites to this day.

From the Wall Street Journal:

Mr. Rove's attorney, Robert Luskin, last week denied that Mr. Rove had contacted Mr. Cooper last Wednesday (which Matt Cooper certainly said standing on the steps of the courthouse), and said that when Mr. Rove spoke to Mr. Cooper two years ago, "Karl didn't disclose Valerie Plame's identification to anyone. That's not a technical statement. That's as practical and direct as I can make it." He also told The Wall Street Journal that Mr. Rove had never asked any reporter to treat him as a confidential source in the matter, "so if Matt Cooper is going to jail to protect a source, it's not Karl he's protecting."

Now let's discuss this statement from this article:

"Cooper, according to an internal Time e-mail obtained by Newsweek magazine, spoke with Rove before Novak's column was published. In the conversation, Rove gave Cooper a "big warning" that Wilson's claims might not be entirely accurate and that it wasn't the director of the CIA or the vice president who sent Wilson on his trip. Rove apparently told Cooper that it was "Wilson's wife, who apparently works at the agency on WMD (weapons of mass destruction) issues who authorized the trip," according to a story in Newsweek's July 18 issue.

Where is the proof that Rove said that part of that sentence? For all we know, Cooper added that to the email himself......because everybody in D.C. knew where she worked. FGS, he is married to Mandy Grundwald and she sure as hell knew.

Or are you just here to carp?

You're not kidding. It's no mystery that yahoo is for sure a lefty organization, if you will, and they sure as hell don't like Republicans.

I'm watching the McClellan press briefing right now. Man, he is getting slammed. Poor guy, the lefties just don't listen, they cannot get off of the Rove story. They know that he can't comment on an ongoing investigation so why are they bothering?

No matter how much info I try to gather about the CIA scandal, I can't find much supporting it. All the stories are coming from the angry left that's hellbent on seeing Rove go down.

The left cannot handle Rove, he is too bright and has them calibrated down to the last strategy -- and he makes no bones about knowing it either. THEY ARE SCARED TO DEATH OF HIM like anyone else who has their number, and openly exposes them (ala Rush Limbaugh, et al)....

But Bush spokesman Scott McClellan wouldn't repeat those claims Monday in the face of Rove's own lawyer, Robert Luskin, acknowledging the political operative spoke to Matthew Cooper of Time magazine, one of the reporters who disclosed Valerie Plame's name.

Would that be the question where David Gregory asked Scott if he thought Rove committed a crime??

It was an outrageous question

"The White House promised if anyone was involved in the Valerie Plame affair, they would no longer be in this administration," said Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. "I trust they will follow through on this pledge.

Nice try Harry .. but that is not exactly what they said

I remember this well...my 5th greade teacher taught us all how to use the NYT as a deadly weapon if needed. The lessons of NY public schools!!! Now all you need is an issue of Newsweek to do it.
