As if reporters have never lied before.
That only matters when the defendant is a Democrat, as history has shown.

That is true, well, it has to be, because Dan Rather told me so!!!
Their second source was the Magic Eightball.
Why does nobody mention that they could be looking at whether COOPER is the one who lied in his testimony? It still is probably immaterial, but it is clear that of the two accounts Rove's looks accurate and Cooper's not.
And if Cooper also at some point testified that Rove brought up the topic, when in fact Cooper did; And if Cooper testified that he didn't have any idea who Plame was, but it turns out he had heard about her from his wife, maybe they have enough to at least look at whether he was trying to deflect the prosecuter from looking at him or his wife, and looking instead at Rove.
"Why does nobody mention that they could be looking at whether COOPER is the one who lied in his testimony?"
EXACTLY. All of the MSM tools assume that Cooper, the pet poodle of a key 'Rat strategist, is the one who must be believed, when Rove's contemporaneous email makes it apparent that Cooper is either 'forgetting' (how convenient) or consciously lying.
This whole brouhaha about the testimony is a trivial distraction anyway, from the REAL issue: how Joe Wilson and his left-liberal cronies plotted to undermine the POTUSA with their asinine 'scandal' about the Niger uranium issue - on which Wilson has been shown to be a total FRAUD. It is Wilson who should be prosecuted, or at the very least publicly humiliated and ostracized from public life. But the 'Rats love anyone who they think helps the Moveon.org agenda....
This is the crux of this entire story. I've said from the outset that Plame instigated the entire conspiracy, using her husband as a tool, and probably her friend, Judith Miller as the media contact to help spread the "news" that Joey Yellowcake couldn't find any "evidence" of a Niger-Iraq connection.
The entire caper was concocted by Plame to discredit President Bush and throw a national election to John François Kerry. That is what the Fitzgerald investigation is trying to verify. It's not about a few seconds out of an already short, 2 minute conversation between Rove & Cooper.
Fitzgerald is doing big game fishing. He's not looking for minnows.
Char :)

Exactly - let's hope the investigation proves it out. It will be an excellent (another) club for the GOP candidate to use against the "VERACITY" of the left...
One wonders why the Grand Jury, according to Cooper, spent so much time on the subject of whether he'd discussed welfare reform.
This sounds like a panel that is out of control of the prosecutor because Fitzgerald would NEVER linger on these minor differences of remembrance, especially when there are contemporaneous notes of it in Rove's email.
I turned on WRKO (Boston) as usual this a.m. The hosts are Peter Blute (former one-term Republican congressman from somewhere in MA) and someone called Scotto. The two of them had Rove convicted. They were citing that guy (Johnson?) -- ex-CIA, self-described Republican, former classmate of Valerie Plame -- who gave the Dem response Saturday as if he were Moses.
Turned it off when I couldn't take any more. Turned FNC on. They were on the same subject with a similarly oriented "expert" or whatever they're calling him. Not sure who it was.
Exactly how long is the distribution list for Dem talking points (or "stalking points" as a FReeper serendipitously typoed yesterday) memos nowadays?
All these people seem to think they know exactly what's in Fitzgerald's mind and what he's looking for. Is there any way they could know that unless Fitzgerald himself or someone working directly under him is leaking?
Cooper threw a sh!t-boomerang!
Thank god i've found some people that think the way i do. This whole thing has been a smoke screen the entire time. Plame and Wilson are slime, as is Cooper.
These rats have nothing to go on. Thats why you have babs streisand telling the media to not let the Rove thing die. What a bunch of first class jokes.
So why aren't we discussing a possible COOPER perjury indictment?
Because they are all in on the cabal.
The political duplicity of Democrats never ceases to amaze me. And all the while they cry about "underhanded" Republicans. I personally hope the Democratic Party goes right in the toilet - which would be an appropriate place.
