On MSNBC a little while ago, they had a story about the "politics of the CIA leak". The reporter was interviewing Pat Buchanan and Democratic strategist Peter Fenn. What follows is the best transcript I could piece together quickly. I've quoted Fenn word for word.
PAT BUCHANAN: It's very, very serious...There is a credibility problem for the press secretary...There is no legal problem for Rove...Reporters in Washington have a gleam in their eye and smiles on their faces, and there's a reason for it...Pat Fitzgerald hasn't been digging for two years and judges haven't been sending reporters to jail because they don't have anything...Everyone in town (Washington) feels there is something very, very serious and today's story in the NY Times where a memo was floating around aboard Air Force One about Wilson's trip to Africa indicates this could be very big stuff.
ALEX: Peter, what kind of big stuff could Pat be referring to?
PETER FENN: Alex, this is not a third-rate burglary. The focus had been on White House staff. Now, as Pat says, with this memo from the State Department about Wilson, about his wife, about the connection, it was brought onto Air Force One by Secretary Powell. I cannot imagine, Alex, that if he's going up and down the aisles with that memo as he was supposed to have been, that he did not discuss it with the President of the United States. I cannot imagine that there were not phone calls from Ari Fleischer, the Press Secretary who was on board, back to the White House about this. This was precisely at the time when Wilson was about to publish his article. Folks knew about his position about weapons of mass destruction. I have a sense that this may go all the way to the top.
It's not Fenn's wishful thinking, it's his intentional smearing of Bush. It's the DNC's formal declaration that they're now after Bush. Treat it as such.
Hey Pukin! You have any more rants about this coming soon?
What's the big deal it's not like he was using public taxpayer funded offices for sex parties.
Can you say "Im-PEACH"? I knew you could.
"Cheese, baby!"
Here, Ratty, Ratty.... LOL

Pukin looks better every day. He said the Dems were after Bush, and now this DNC weenie is getting vibes from outer space that say this goes, "All the way to the top".
Yes looks like Dan Rathers revenge. The dems can't win an election so it's destroy those that do, kind of a terrorist way of doing things.
There after Bush. Guys we need to get serious. This is not funny. We should not treat it as such.
so, lemme see...the CIA was 'sending' someone to Niger and the State Department had a memo about it and the info was available to Powell and he shared the info aboard AF1? And they might have discussed how silly a choice the CIA 'investigator' was? Was Tenet on board? Are we to think that this was inappropriate?
These are desperate times for the Dems. They are heading over a cliff. We only need to stay out of their way.
In every post about Wilson/Rove, remind everyone that Sandy Berger, National Security Advisor for President Clinton IS GOING TO JAIL.
I agree, they ARE going after GWB. Even tho we knew they would. The lack of Bush scandal material is only serving to make the demonicRATs more rabid, and so they need to make it up! I'm hoping it will keep making them look like the desperate fools they are, but we can take nothing for granted.
After reading your rants, you are one SCARY Pukin Dog! The MSM should be very afraid. :-)
