Dems love to stir a Tempest in a teapot.
When Sandy Berger goes to jail, that's when i'll ask for Rove to step down.
Thanks for reading it for me. I don't have the patience to read articles this long, but I thought someone may be interested enough to red it.
RE Berger, it's clear he did something wrong, but I doubt Rove did.
Alternate title: "Democrats Break Wind, Blame Rove"
The only scandal they are smelling emanates from themselves, IMO.

Rove has done nothing illegal. There was no discussion of covert operators. There was a discussion of Wilson's trip to check on uranium. He said that Wilson's wife authorized the trip and that she works at CIA.
1. He didn't use her name.
2. Authorizing travel is not a covert job. It's a personnel activity.
Definitely.
The President needs to come out TODAY and say that Karl Rove did not "out" Valerie Plame, and he will be staying on the President's team until the end of this administration. Period. The longer they can make headlines with this non-issue, the worse it will get.
Shame on that old Democrat, Novak, who sits like a sphinx with the real information, and won't give it up until October, when the grand jury term is over. He ought to be horse whipped for causing the President this grief when W should be working on serious issues. If there were real justice, Novak would be sitting in jail instead of Judith Miller.
Bingo! If she was a covert spy, her job would not be in the business of appointing people to special tasks. They would be the one SENT on special tasks. The email about Rove's involvement, clears Rove of the 'crime' the Democrats accuse him of committing.
Who isn't? RATS may need to get their hate under control...
Just for a moment, let's give the Dumocrats their LSD induced fantasy. Even if Rove resigns, there is nothing short of a court order that can keep him and President Bush from planning strategy. I would actually like to see Rove resign, but continue with his present duties at no pay. What would the Dums say then?
Nothing quite like getting a lecture about loyalty and patriotism from a liberal. I am amazed they can even utter the words.
You may be correct but it does beg the question "Why didn't Rove just tell everyone what he said to whom when the story broke"?
I hope we don't find out that Rove lied to Bush about his involvement. Rationalize all you want but Rove's statements to Cooper were designed to discredit Wilson, not out his wife, and to the MSM this is worse than outing a nobody! They want blood and I see Rove going down for this.

At least I agree with the first part of the title.
"Rove reportedly told Cooper that it was "Wilson' wife, who apparently works at the agency" -- who had arranged Wilson's trip to Niger."
So Cooper was wanting to discuss Wilson's trip to Niger with Rove. Got to wonder if Cooper knew WHO set this trip up the sole purpose appears to be the protection of Saddam, at least that is the way his article in the NYTimes reads.
JFKerry ran a whole campaign for president in support of saving Saddam and the French/Germans/Russian oil deals.
Sounds like a set up from the get go. Also got to wonder who gave Wilson and his woman the idea to begin with???
Let'em stir :) When this comes back to bite them on their butts, they'll have no one to blame but themselves. They're getting what they wanted, just not the way they wanted it. I love it. Bwah hah hah hah hah...
seriously ... who cares?
