"As proof of his claims, Dean pointed to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal Poll, which shows that only 41 percent of Americans think Bush is being "honest and straightforward," - I don't trust any poll quoted by any Democrat.
Char :)
I can see trying to run that argument by a judge one day:
"Your Honor, the witness is obviously lying - as evidenced by these polls that show that a heck of a lot of people think he's not being honest and straightforward."
And Dean has credibility?
Bush should fire Rove for the CIA flap......
...right after all of the Dems who've revealed CIA operatives resign their seats.
John Kerry, for example.....
Any Freeper got that list? It involves at least three sitting U.S. Senators of the Democratic Party.
deanie weenie suggesting prez should put patriotism over partisanship.......waddaload.....coming from Mr. I-hate-America-Partisan himself.
But then, Dean 'hates Republicans and everything they stand for'....so this is to be expected.
I'm truly beginning to suspect that Rove put LSD in all the democrat's coffee.
Either Rove or the evil Jooooossss.
I think that President Bush is an honest and decent man. I am glad that he brought respect back to the White House after 8 years of sleeze, lies and corruption. The problem with a lot of these Dem's is this....they think everybody is as sleezy as they are. They think everyone operates the way they do, but guess what Dem's, you are dealing with a man that has honesty, integrity and brains. You lose. Just my opinion.
If there is one Man in America that can comment on lost credibility with true authority it is Howard Dean.
Howie thinks he has the force. "Mr. and Mrs. America, these are not the droids you are looking for", as Howie waves his hand across the podium...
>>>Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean said Thursday that President Bush is "losing credibility with the American people" because of his policies regarding the war in Iraq

"Iraq the Year in Review"
http://www.defendamerica.mil/downloads/MNFI-Year-in-Review_2004-Fact-Sheets.pdf
Could minor Ambassador Joe Wilson himself have been the source in blowing his own Wife's cover?
It is distinctly possible, (though it may be unlikely that Joe Wilson himself directly was NY Times Judith Miller's source), since Joe Wilson himself evidently routinely bragged openly to strangers about her CIA employment, prior to such "cover" being "blown" in the press.
Here's an example of Joe's apparently routine and open bragging about Valerie being a "CIA agent," which became known directly to me over a year ago:
He certainly bragged about it per a famous and highly reliable source's (named below) account of his own face-to-face encounter with Amb. Joe Wilson prior to Valerie Plame's "outing" as a CIA agent/employee.
Based upon a personal conversation (we were in a small group eating; it was NOT an "off the record") I had with eminent historian Victor Davis Hanson (we were at a luncheon table together during a trip to Europe), it appeared entirely possible that Joe Wilson himself was the (or one source, if not the original one) possible source in revealing his own wife's status as a CIA agent or employee.
Victor Davis Hanson (Wilson presumably knew Victor Davis Hanson wrote regularly for NRO (National Review Online), had done OpEds for the Wall street Journal, and other publications, and had his own Website with a widespread following) said he (VDH) & Joe Wilson were both in the same "Green Room" before a televised debate-discussion on Iraq, etc. and Joe first warned the TV make-up person not to get powder on his $14,000 Rolex watch, then he bragged to Victor about several things (possessions and trips to Aspen, etc.), like his expensive car (I think it was a Mercedes), and then bragged about his beautiful ("hot") wife who, Joe Wilson said (braggingly) was a CIA operative.
I asked Victor Davis Hanson Why he didn't write up this account.(?) He replied that Joe Wilson would probably simply deny it, since only he (VDH) & Joe Wilson were in the Green Room together before the broadcast.
However, it is now easy to surmise that Joe Wilson is a crass, materialistic, self-promoting, vain, egotistical, bragaddocio-opportunist, so this account is perfectly consistent with Valerie Plame's TWO photo shoots in Vanity Fair. (Or was it Vogue? No, probably too crass for Vogue, n'est pas?)
