First of all, true Republicans don't get nervous and quiver and panic and cry Mommy- that's a Democrat characteristic.
Another example of the media bias.
No, that's too mild.
Another example of their complete abandonment of any integrity and journalistic principles ( what an oxymoron.)

David Gregory yesterday on MSNBC.com
Root of Rove Controversy is the War in Iraq.

"President Bush said Wednesday that he will reserve judgment on Karl Rove’s possible involvement in the leaking of a CIA agent's identity until the special prosecutor’s criminal investigation into the matter is complete."

"This is a serious investigation," Bush said at the end of a meeting with his Cabinet, with Rove, his deputy chief of staff, sitting just behind him.
"I will be more than happy to comment on this matter once this investigation is completed,” Bush said.

You did not read the wording of what Bush said in that speech.

He said if they were involved and a crime was committed.

I believe it has been pointed out that Roves email that the Times is presenting as evidence was several days after the times outed the CIA agent.

There is another reporter that went to jail and will not reveal their source. That is the one that will either tell us it was a reporter that outed the CIA person or it was a democrat.

Oh for freaking crying outloud. The AP has to go Arkansas to get a comment from a state senator that is running for Lt. Gov about Karl Rove. You know the propaganda ministers at the AP are scratching from the bottom of the pit when they have to leave DC to ask about Karl Rove.

Keep it up Lame-stream media, you are digging your graves deeper!

How do we know he lied? What worries me is that Rove may have leaked the name not knowing she was undercover. He may have just heard she worked for the CIA, and told the reporters that for their background. I'd rather believe that than that he abused his security clearance. And before you guys jump on "undercover", the CIA issued a "crime report" stating her to be an undercover operative, working for "Brewster & Jennings", a dummy corp, and that is how we got us a special prosecutor..

I don't think Rove lied to the feds at all. I think someone else did. My point is that lying to the feds is an easier charge to prove than disclosure of a covert agent. I also personally think that any indictments are going to be a surprise. Rove is not the target. Someone else is.

So far, I've not seen anyone comment on the stark difference between Bush's approach to the Fitzgerald grand jury and Clinton's approach with Kenneth Starr. Bush has simply said, "Let the grand jury do its job," and has applied NO political pressure on Fitzgerald, much less attempted to smear him or villify him.

With Clinton, it was exactly the opposite; every day, month after month, his team launched a brutal attack on Starr, stonewalled, impeded, leaked, villified, stalked, smeared - everything they could do to turn the attention from Clinton to Starr. And it worked, with the cooperation of DNC tools like David Gregory and Terry Moran. The press makes me sick.

When did the CIA do that? By the way, why is no one talking about the New York Times recent outing of an entire undercover CIA operation to transport WOT detainees for interrogation?

LOL Republicans aren't nervous. They've bothered to learn the facts and know that there is no 'there' there.

Who's nervous? Yer dreamin'...what you think is nervousness is our side trying to hide our giggles waiting for the blade to come down on liberal necks.

How do we know what Rove talked to any reporters other than Matt Cooper? Wouldn't they all be coming out of the woodwork now to say he leaked to them too? And how do we know what he really said to Cooper? All we know is what was in Cooper's email, which was conveniently leaked to Time magazine's biggest rival, and which only repeats his hasty recollection of what Rove hastily said. And we also know that Cooper called Rove, and called him on a pretext, as he was on his way out the door for vacation, and they supposedly talked about Joe Wilson at the very end of a two-minute conversation. I'm not convinced that any of it is true; more likely is that Cooper wrote the email and mde up the Rove comments to cover his ass before filing his fantasyland story about the supposed orchestrated White Hosue smear campaign against Joe Wilson. Who do you trust more, Karl Rove or Mandy Grunwald's husband?

BTW, I think it's pretty obvious that Novak's source was George Tenet. He had to have been pretty pissed when Joe Wilson's op-ed appeared and Wilson went on all the talk shows saying he was sent to Niger by the CIA. I think he never authorized Wilson's trip, he tried to bury his "report" because he knew it was bullshit, and when Wilson statted blabbing he had to do something. And guess what? He was fired! Does anyone else remember being puzzled at the timing of his resignation and the lack of plausible explanations? It's plausible that the President found out he told Novak about Plame and sacked him on the spot.

It's just as obvious that Judith Miller's source was Plame herself. She would never go to jail to protect Karl Rove, but she would sure go to jail to protect someone who had been feeding her classified information on WMD intelligence for years.

Instead, the target has shifted to attacks on the President's "credibility" ...

You are quite correct, my FRiend. If the 'Crats were to be in any way successful in this matter it would be the beginning -- not the end -- of a new angle of attack on our president during a time of war.

I am also concerned that the 'Crats' larger objective is to fester yet another crack among Republicans in the Senate on the eve of USSC nominations.

Maybe 3-card Monty is another good analogy. While everyone is watching the Rove misdirection, the White House is lining up the promised conservative judge nomination for the SCOTUS.

When is someone on the R side going to bring up Leaky Leahy's security breaches that DID end in loss of life for US intelligence personnel?
