A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day

Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.   Over 100,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and the forum is read daily by tens of thousands of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.

A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay, or a profile of another FReeper.

On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY

If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.

We're having fun and hope you are!

Beep-Beep! Wile E. Coyote Dems can't catch Rove-Runner

by JohnHuang2

Rep. Jane Harman told Fox News Sunday that the "White House seems to be hunkering down," but this Valerie Plame "story is absolutely killing the President." Sandy Bergergate is nothing compared to Nothingburgergate. So badly has this story been killing the President, on Sunday his approval rate was killed back up to 51% (Rasmussen Poll), a nice bump-up since July 1, when nutcase Larry O'Donnell dropped to his knees for some mouth-to-mouth on this dead horse after flogging it for two years.

The media promised this "scandal" would be 'Bush's Watergate' by Sunday. It was. For a few hours. Matt Cooper of TIME told Tim Russert Sunday that Rove, at the end of their conversation, remarked, "I've already said too much." (And if you don't believe Mandy Grunwald's husband, who will you believe?!?!) Yaaaaaaaaawn. The next day, it was 'Bush's Watergate' again. For one day. Bush in a presser vowed to 'fire anyone who broke the law.' The press wants Bush to say, 'I will fire everyone who didn't break the law!' Then only Clinton holdovers will be left.

But by Tuesday, 'Bush's Watergate' was strapped to a gurney on the way to the hospital. So sad. Fact is, by Friday, there were signs 'Bush's Watergate' was already in trouble. The New York Times revealed on Friday that it had uncovered the leaker, and the leaker was . . . the media. The media was Rove's super-secret source. Quoting someone "officially briefed on the matter," the Times reported that Rove had testified that he learned the name Valerie Plame from columnist Robert Novak. Before Novak contacted Rove, Novak already knew Plame's ID, her work at CIA, and how she sent her husband Joe Wilson to Niger to probe WMDs in Iraq. So obviously Rove's the leaker! Must've had tiny neocons secretly crawl through tubelike passages known as Novak's ear canals to plant that 'CIA Secrets' chip in his brain while he slept or something. Very clever.

So, the great Karl Rove conspiracy amounts to (a) Rove's phone ringing (b) Rove picking up the phone (c) Rove telling Novak, "I heard that, too" regarding nepotism at CIA -- Valerie hiring Joe. (As if marriage had anything to do with it!) According to the moron media in Washington, "I heard that, too" equals confirmation. You get a phone call: 'Did you hear Bush may pick Edith Clement?' If you say, 'Yeah, I heard that, too,' you've just confirmed it! How's that Clement nomination going?

Novak says he contacted two Administration 'sources.' One of them was Rove. The other was Novak's source -- the real "leaker." Who "leaked" to Novak? Well, when you want the names of world-famous secret CIA operatives like Valerie Plame, where do you turn to (besides Google)? You call your friendly CIA. That's what Novak did. Vanity Fair, in a profile of Joe Wilson and wife Valerie, published in January, 2004, reported that "Wilson was caught off guard when around July 9 he received a phone call from Robert Novak who, according to Wilson, said he'd been told by a CIA source that Wilson's wife worked for the agency" (Source: Jack Kelly).

(Novak's source even disclosed that Plame spent Christmas 1968 in Cambodia!)

So, a CIA source, not a White House source, 'outed' Valerie Plame. This 'outing' happened almost a decade after a Moscow spy 'outed' Plame, and several years after CIA documents in Cuba 'outed' Plame, and 4 years after Plame's Gore campaign donations 'outed' Plame, and just before David Corn 'outed' Plame. Corn, not Novak, was the first "journalist" to 'out' Plame as a 'spy.' Corn's source was Joe Wilson.

Joe Wilson. The same nutcase who claimed Bush lied to his '03 State of the Union Address. The same wacko who:

*Lied to his op-ed in the New York Times, claiming Cheney sent him on his African junket.

*Lied to his book, claiming his wife did not send him on his African junket.
br> *Lied to his own findings, which a Senate committee said strengthened the case that Saddam sought uranium from Niger.

*Lied to his reporters at the Washington Post about documents he didn't have access to.

So, Joe Wilson 'outing' his wife+leaking classified material+lying under oath+lying about documents+lying about Cheney+getting wife to pose for Vanity Fair=Rove's guilty!

Joe Wilson was so upset about those "16 words" in Bush's '03 State of the Union speech, that right afterward he wrote a piece for the LA Times and forgot to mention them.

Incidentally, here's how hard it is to break the Intelligence Identities Protection Act of 1982, which is the basis for the grand jury probe. Section 421 reads (Warning: Libbies will have difficultly, since it's not in crayon):

"Whoever, having or having had authorized access to classified information that identifies a covert agent, intentionally discloses any information identifying such covert agent to any individual not authorized to receive classified information, knowing that the information disclosed so identifies such covert agent and that the United States is taking affirmative measures to conceal such covert agent's intelligence relationship to the United States," then and only then shall the violator "be fined not more than $50,000, or imprisoned no more than ten years, or both."

In other words, to be in violation, the leaker must want to harm the U.S. -- do so intentionally. You have to be a traitor who hates this country. In other words, a Philip Agee. An Aldrich Ames. In other words, a liberal. Like Joe Wilson.

Must you appear on the cover of Vanity Fair to be a covert agent? No. A 'covert' agent is an "officer or employee who is serving outside the United States or has within the last five years served outside the United States" -- Intelligence Identities Protection Act of 1982, Title 50.

Valerie Plame was no covert agent. Since CIA desk jockey losers do no work, there was no work to 'expose.' In short, no case. These poor, poor, Wile E. Coyote Dems. Still can't catch Rove-Runner!

Anyway that's...

My two cents

The ankle is doing as best as can be expected, thanks for asking.

It's my temperment that leaves a great deal to be desired.....I do not like being trapped/dependent and have to rely on others to do so much.

[Gabz]

morning, dolly - I often have that same type of computer problem.

[The Mayor]

The Primary is Sept 13th.. General election Nov 8th.

Things are going well, busy with work and campaigning.
I came home to change and go to Seinors day at a local amusement park.
Stay for a couple hours then go back to framing the addition i'm working on.
Trying hard to raise campaign funds, we need signs and mailings that will cost
$4000 for each one. Not much in the campaign account right now.

Of course there is not a whole bunch of money in this cash poor state.

[DollyCali]

AAAAWWWKKK !!

oh well, let's pretend it was supposed to look like one of those.. (not)

[Temple Owl]

Good morning and thanks for another terrific essay.

[OESY]

Happy Hamburger Day! (Fries are extra.)



Ode to a Hamburger


Oh, burger, sizzling on the grill,
I can not make my heart stand still.
I've got the Heinz anticipation,
That "where's the beef" articulation.

A cattle call of bovine bliss
Summoo-ns us to meat like this.
This charcoal round-up will succeed,
Behooving order—not stampede.

My nose is filled with your aroma,
I'm tripping to cholesterol coma.
You are clearly heavenly chow.
I call you my chopped "Holy Cow."

You are truly rare indeed,
In bun adorned by poppy seed.
My love for you is nothing phony.
Bull-eve me, this is not bull-oney.

You slow me with your mooving kiss,
But I'll catch up and relish this.
I crave your fat, I'm tired of starches.
Eat your heart out, Golden Arches.

A Looney Tunes Tribute to Karl Rove (HR's latest attempt at creativity)

Posted on 07/15/2005 1:43:10 PM CDT by hispanarepublicana

(here's the tune in case you were at music lessons, group sports or doing something else more productive than I was on Saturday mornings in your youth: http://www.fuggled.co.uk/Nostalgia/Road%20Runner.mp3)

If you're in the Beltway and Rove Runner goes beep beep.
Just step aside or you might end up in a heap.
Rove Runner, Rove Runner looking out for the USA.
Even the liberals can't make him change his ways.

Rove Runner, the left is after you.
Rove Runner, liberals can’t see that they’re through.
Rove Runner, the the left is after you.
Rove Runner, liberals can’t see that they’re through.

That Joe Wilson is really a crazy clown,
When will he learn that he can never mow Rove down?
Poor little Rove Runner never bothers anyone,
Just runnin' our agenda is his idea of having fun.

Rove Runner, the left is after you.
Rove Runner, liberals can’t see that they’re through.
Rove Runner, the the left is after you.
Rove Runner, liberals can’t see that they’re through.

BEEP BEEP!
