Democrats-only Hill hearing targets Rove [Conyers: “ ...treason ... abuse of power”]
THE WASHINGTON TIMES ^ | July 23, 2005 | By James G. Lakely

Posted on 07/23/2005 4:40:12 AM PDT by johnny7

Democrats convened a partisan hearing yesterday in an attempt to breathe new life into the suspicion that Karl Rove is guilty of an illegal leak to the press.

The hearing, convened in a Senate office building by the Democratic Policy Committee, featured both House and Senate members and a slate of witnesses guaranteed to testify that the deputy White House chief of staff was guilty of misdeeds in leaking the name of CIA operative Valerie Plame. "We know that a dastardly crime in all likelihood was committed," said Sen. Charles E. Schumer, New York Democrat.

We have a war going on and Democrat senators are pulling this crap. I've seen kindergarteners who are more mature.

The bipartisan intelligence committee report also determined that Mrs. Plame recommended to the CIA that her husband -- a critic of the war in Iraq -- travel to Niger to verify the story of attempted "yellowcake" uranium purchases. Though his own report suggested it had occurred, Mr. Wilson wrote an op-ed in the New York Times on July 6, 2003, saying it was wrong of the White House to suggest it did happen.

Mr. Wilson has never publicly reconciled that conflict.

And there you have it, the only real scandal in this whole matter. Anyone want to bet that Judith Miller's source lives in the Wilson residence?

With Conyers, Schumer, et al, I would be surprised if they had one full functional brain in that "hearing."

The only way they can stop Roberts is by trying to convince the public that Bush is so scandal-ridden that he shouldn't nominate anyone. They have to get Rove or they're screwed, since they have nothing on Roberts. (Kerry's whining for documentation proves that.)

To paraphrase Patton, the Democrats have are stuck in a meat grinder, and Bush is holding the handle. August is going to be classic.

great graphic, ZM! Yep, they're all certifiable.

Obviously, they really put all their eggs in this Rove basket. They are probably cursing over these London bombings.....but not because innocents were killed and maimed.

I guess this photo op is the result of the RATs meeting where they tried to "find their values".

DimocRAT version of the 12 apostles.

Hey, we have the Social Security bill in Congress! What is being done with it?

How about the Tax Reform Bill?

And the Patriot Act?

Done any work on the NASA Space Bill? Thought so!

What about the Bolton nomination?

Has Kerry reported for work? Oh, yeah, never mind!

And Kennedy needs another bottle of scotch!

What about the other judges nominations that has been languishing?

All you worry about is Rove! And he hasn't done anything illegal but don't let that confuse your pointed heads!

Oh, thats a riot! The only'' DASTARDLY DEED'' that was ever committed was by the dopes that put these idiots in office! By the way isn't Conyers the one that always holds these fake hearings in a basement somewhere? He conducted them on the '' Downing Street memo''. ''Ohio voting irregularities'' Gitmo'' attrocities ''and now this?He must be the DUmmies mascot or something.How much lower can these people go?

I did see part of this charade.

What is most incredible is that these are the same clowns who excused, apologized for, explained, justified, and obfuscated every national security breach of the previous President.

For these slimeballs words have only one purpose--deception.
