....... and dear Judith maybe sitting on it.That's the bottom line (pun intended) here.......
If Judith told Karl (which is highly likely), who told Judith, and what kind of pressure is on her to continue to 'sit on it?'
Whatever the answer is, we're not going to read it in the NYT. There's no interest in the MSM to actually find the truth........only to bury it.
The only similarity with Watergate, Chuckie, is that the leftist forces are trying to take down a Republican President.
Only this time, it ain't working.........

Rush saying "Folks, there's more to this than meets the eye. A lot more..." Someone throw us a clue, just seems like a political stink the DemonicRats are stirring up cause all of their other angles, ( Iraq and the economy ) have gone belly=up for them, and 2006 elections are fast approaching.!!

Anyone out there interested in a couple of carpetbaggers?No, thanks. You took the two LIARS named Clinton off of our hands. We have only been trying to get rid of them for over 20 years. You do have my sympathy. I KNOW what you are dealing with.

the Democrats have an amendment on the floor of the Senate to strip Rove of his security clearance, per MSNBC! Are we certain it's not really on the floor of Reid's basement?

Wilson just needs to remember to give Schumer a physical 5' radius of clearance so he is not stampeded by Schumer running in the directions of cameras.

Rove's involvement in a news leak that exposed a CIA officer's identity has made him a political liability for President Bush, who has not yet talked about Rove's future in the administration, or his actual role in the leakNo bias there, huh? Sounds like wishful thinking!
Here is what happaned:
LA Times:
7:11 PM PDT, July 13, 2005
WASHINGTON President Bush said Wednesday he would not judge the role that senior aide Karl Rove may have played in revealing the identity of a CIA agent until a federal criminal investigator has finished his work.
Citing the continuing probe, Bush declined to defend Rove or to weigh in on the politically charged case, which has prompted Democrats to call for Bush to fire the White House deputy chief of staff or to curb his role.
"We're in the midst of an ongoing investigation, and this is a serious investigation," Bush told reporters after a morning meeting with his Cabinet. "And it is very important for people not to prejudge the investigation based on media reports. And again, I will be more than happy to comment on this matter once the investigation is complete."
The NYT:
July 14, 2005
Bush Says He Will Withhold Judgment on Rove Inquiry
WASHINGTON, July 13 - President Bush said Wednesday that he would withhold judgment on whether Karl Rove, his senior adviser and political strategist, had identified an undercover C.I.A. operative in a conversation with a reporter for Time magazine.
Mr. Bush's comment came nearly two years after he suggested that he would fire anyone in his administration who had knowingly leaked the identity of the operative, Valerie Wilson. Her naming has led to a federal grand jury investigation.
On Wednesday, in his first remarks on the matter since the disclosure that Mr. Rove had alluded to the Central Intelligence Agency officer in a background interview in July 2003 with Matthew Cooper, a White House correspondent for Time, Mr. Bush held that it would be wrong to discuss the case while the investigation was under way.
"I have instructed every member of my staff to fully cooperate in this investigation," Mr. Bush told reporters after a cabinet meeting. "I also will not prejudge the investigation based on media reports."
Mr. Bush neither criticized nor defended Mr. Rove. But Mr. Rove sat directly behind him as he spoke, sending a visual signal that he remained on the job and at the president's elbow, where he has been throughout Mr. Bush's political career.
!!!!That is what happened!!!!
Liars!

The non partisan Joe Wilson lectured before the war against removing Saddam.
The title of his lecture was( he's since changed it ):
" Iraq, Disarmament or Conquest, The Case Against Regime Change."
His January 22, 2003 lecture delivered at UCSB is on tape and used to be available from the Humanities Center .
I found these quotes from billhobbs.com who downloaded the speech from a webpage, that has since purged the speech.
Hobbs thinks Wilson sounds anti semitic.
" Ever since the first Gulf War] there has been a small cabal of zealots in Washington who have been driving an agenda designed to overthrow Saddam Hussein, not because he has weapons of mass destruction,
not because he may or may not be linked to terrorism,
but because they want to establish a beachhead in the Arab world from which to work to change the political map of the Arab world and
essentially ensure Israel 75 more years of security by enfeebling the Arab governments that are arrayed against it."
" We need to remember in all of this that Iraq did not build weapons of mass destruction because the United States was an enemy -
Iraq built weapons of mass destruction because it was surrounded by a nuclear armed Israel.. "
" Saddam or no Saddam, there is still going to be a desire amongst the national security apparatus to have weapons that allow a relatively small population to defend itself against larger rapacious neighbors and aggressive neighbors."
Hobbs says Wilson is calling Israel rapacious and aggressive.
Perhaps Chuck Schumer will be asked to comment on Wilson's anti war, anti Israel lecture series.
