It's funny how Colmes and Press claim that the phone call "doesn't matter" when in fact it comepletely disproves the theory that Rove was gunning for Plame. Unless they are suggesting he has telepathic powers and forced him to call...?

It is funny listening to this on the radio as Democrat after Democrat comes out to attack Rove and demand that either he resign or Bush fires him. Of course, the second that either happens, they'll launch a congressional investigation into the White House and their handling of security.

It would be more prudent for those folks on the other side of the aisle to get a clue that paper cuts won't injure this president or give them their much desired impeachment. But dang if it isn't some nights when I fantasize about them getting their wish.

President Cheney has a wonderful ring to it. And I seriously doubt that the liberals have even figured this far ahead yet.

Let's not forget that the original "story" put out by Wilson and the press was that the "leaker" was shopping the story around and had CALLED and TOLD no less than six reporters.

"It means that clearly information was circulating around Washington about the identity of Wilson's CIA operative wife"


How can that be when the Wilsons were fund raisers for the Clintons, and were seen at all the A-list parties, and Wilson's website said his wife was a CIA agent (but she was really an analyst). I can't see how there would be any "speculcation" about who Wilson's wife was.

Excellent point.

All of this stuff is coming out even as Terry Moran, the snotty kid of the newsroom, and David Gregory are competing to be Most Obnoxious. It doesn't help that McClellan is a wimp, and looks like the chubby kid who starts to sweat when dragged down to the principal's office.

The press already seem to be shifting to this "You said if anyone was involved" thing--paraphrasing McClellan, Bush and Rove and accusing THEM of "Clinton-like nuancing"--as if they can embarass Rove out of the Administration. I think they realize they have little time to bring this to a boil before the rest of the country tells them to shut up and move on.

This is the incedent that I have been referring to, that Miller was in already in trouble for refusing to testify about. What the article doesn't mention is that Wilson met with Chris Lehane in May, 2003 before Wilson made any accusations of anyone exposing his wife. It was Chris Lehane that set up the interview with Vanity Fair. Chris Lehane was head of the Kerry campaign at that time. Judith Miller may have been acquainted with both Valerie Plame and Chris Lehane. Miller was a Middle Eastern corespondent for the NYT and Valerie Plame was a WMD clerk for the CIA.

Anytime that you see Lehane's name, who can be absolutely sure that there is something illegal or at least very seamy going on.

I know, that's why I never forgot the connection between Wilson and Lehane. I wouldn't be surprised if Lehane and Kerry were behind the whole thing. They would just say that they were duped by Wilson as well, though.

Right after this story first broke, a writer for National Review Online (I forget who) reported that a Democratic friend of his had previously told him about Plame's CIA employment, and he did so in a casual manner, as if it were common knowledge. So I've always thought that the original "outer" - well before the Niger events unfolded - might have been Joseph Wilson himself. This information then got into the DC gossip pipeline and became known to many, probably including reporters like Miller, and she or another reporter may indeed be the one who tipped someone in the Bush administration about Plame's role.

The Dems and the media are trying to pressure Rove to resign before the grand jury expires and the facts come out that will exonerate him.

After that happens, the talking points will shift to, "None of that matters! What Karl Rove did was wrong, and he should have known it was wrong! He should be fired forthwith, so we as a nation can commence the healing process necessary to work towards building consensus candidates for the Supreme Court!"

CA....

Actually it's maddening how many times the FR search doesn't turn up anything. It is not our friend.
