I'm not nervous.

This is starting to be fun!

President Bush's chief political adviser is creating a credibility problem at the White House

A rat's wish.

The charges, if any, ultimately resulting from this will not be over disclosure of an operative's name, but obstruction of justice, i.e., lying to the investigators.

Ron Fornier - read everything that guy writes before putting any stock in a word he has to say. As for me, sure there are some lily livered 'Pubs, (watch 'em scatter whenever any tough lifting on conservative issues matter) but Bush is not getting in the way of Libs jumping afer one another off the steep cliff.

[Boundless]

Once again, the Domestic Enemy Mob fails to recognize when
they are being rope-a-doped.

Rove must be enjoying this.

[frogjerk]

Oh Boy, I am so worried!!! -sarcasm.

[Dems_R_Losers]

Good grief, the White House is not the Kremlin. We don't need Ron Fournier trying to parse what the President said and didn't say.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

Republicans Nervously Eyeing Rove, CIA Probe Amid Bush's No-Comment

The Repubs should be told that Bush is just making sure to give the dems enough rope.

[cripplecreek]

No nervousness here.

A survey of Republicans outside Washington revealed similar concerns, though few officials were willing to go on record. "I think he should resign," said Jim Holt, a GOP state senator from Arkansas who is running for lieutenant governor. He joked, "I hope Karl Rove doesn't come gunning for me."

Drag a $100 bill through an Arkansas statehouse and there's no telling what you'll get...

"I think he should resign," said Jim Holt, a GOP state senator from Arkansas who is running for lieutenant governor.

Note to Arkansans... don't vote for Holt.

The only thing making me nervous is the thoughts of what I'd like to do to those hypocritical, lying, hysterical Dims when they're on TV. No news except FR for me until this has passed.

[nuffsenuff]

Who's nervous?

I'm not.

Republicans are nervously watching ...

Took the AP three words to start editorializing.

Bastards.

Translation: Buckets Voinovich and his ilk are eyeing Rove with worry. The rest of us know there's nothing there to be had and the Democrats are going to look like idiots...Again!

Still, several top GOP officials - including some White House advisers - said the fight was becoming a distraction to Bush's agenda. The GOP officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because of Bush's friendship with Rove, said the president may face a credibility problem because his spokesman said in September that anybody involved in the leak would be fired.

Anyone leaking classified information is what Bush said. If Plames name was classified then he will have to fire Rove even though its complete BS.

I seriously doubt that Bush is worried. It doesn't distract from Bush's agenda either. Its really just filler until the Supremes are nominated.

"Republicans are nervously watching the fight over Karl Rove's involvement in a news leak that exposed a CIA officer's identity, fearing that President Bush's chief political adviser is creating a credibility problem at the White House."

Republicans are nervous combing their hair. In fact, Republicans are just plain nervous.

President Bush's chief political adviser is creating a credibility problem at the White House

I thought the war in Iraq was causing a credibility problem, or was is Abu Grahib, or Gitmo, or no WMD, or what is it? I can't remember anymore. And this is the second Jim Holt, whoever he is, reference I've seen now as far as proof that Republicans are 'worried'. I think it's time for them to dig up at least one other obscure 'worried' Republican now.

[popdonnelly]

Someone made an interesting point on another thread. Valerie Plame was a WMD expert for the CIA. In honesty, the CIA screwed up its WMD reports on Iraq. Plame gets to play victim, while Rove gets the shaft. Funny how the Dems and their friends in the media work.
