The only reason this story was published now, was because Senate Democrats needed cover for voting against the Patriot Act. Forget about the Book, it is coincidental and meaningless. What you have here, is a coordinated effort between the NY Times and Senate Dems and RINOs to make it safe for them to vote against the Patriot act.
Why, you say?
FUNDRAISING!
Democratic fund-raising is completely in the toilet. Howard Dean has been a total nightmare, which means that no matter how strong Democrat candidates are for the next election, they will still lose because they will not be able to compete with Republicans.
The new Democrat strategy for 2006 is to trade campaign dollars for an impeachment of George Bush. It is their only change to get enough dollars to stay in the hunt from their crazy, but deep-pocketed supporters. They don't care that they are lying to their minions, because they wont win anyway. All they care about is getting those rabid, DU-Kos jackasses to fork over as much money as they can, since Howard Dean couldn't find a dollar in a stripper's G-string.
So to back up this strategy, the Dems and RINOs need a reason for Bush's impeachment. Plame failed, WMD failed, Iraq is going too well, the economy is roaring, so this non-story is all they have left. The Times provided the reason, now the Dems will go all out to use it as a fund-raising hook for 2006.
But then dammit, the Dems had to go and overreach again, thinking that the Administration would not go after leakers, in order to keep the story from having legs in the MSM.
Bush has got them scurrying like cockroaches in the light, looking for a place to hide. But while they were plotting, planning and scheming, the Justice Dept has been working behind the scenes to find the leakers.
Things are going to happen in 2006 that will change the course of history.
***The new Democrat strategy for 2006 is to trade campaign dollars for an impeachment of George Bush.***
Dem talking heads have already said this on air: "If we regain the House, we will start Impeachment Proceedings."
What a promise! What a scintillating campaign message! We can turn this around on them and get an even greater majority in the House, and keep our majority in the Senate next November.
I heard last night on the John Batchlor Show that the California Dem Party will not send any of their donations to the national party because they think Dean is bad news for them.
Apparently, the DNC is very worried about this turn of events.
You just made my day.

Sounds like the plot line from Shakespear's Julius Caesar.
You may be right. And it very well could change the course of history.
