Thank you for the ping, Howlin. Clearly the Plame case is an artificial construct for the purposes of sliming the current administration and the threat/act of suing over the speciously named 'exposure' is a democrat strategy to continue trying to create negatives toward the administration and by inference Republicans in general. In short, the democraps have one strategy, create doubt in the public's mind toward Republican leadership ... this because the bastard anti-american, anti-military democrat leadership has zero ideas for improving anything. It is truly a macro example of their decades old program, to create equality (or vacuum), lower the best to average or less, because in such a mediocre or less environment democrats can become empowered due to the lack of attention by the true sovereigns, the 'we the people' of this Republic. I'm learning to actually loathe the democrat political leadership and their henchgoons in the media. They need to be isolated into soemthing akin to an Alzheimer patient ward, where they are fed and cared for but given zero trust to act on their own.
It makes one wonder what Bush and Rove have in mind.
I recall during the 2000 election cycle, that Bush was being portrayed as inarticulate and weak.
It was obvious that Gore's handlers were responding to this and attempted to portray Gore as the alpha-male to Bush's omega performance.
Unfortunately for Gore, he "mis-underestimated" Bush and wandered too close to Bush while Bush was speaking during one of the debates. He did this very purposefully to enlarge the space he was controlling at the expense of Bush.
Bush's timing could not have been better. At just the right instant Bush stopped speaking and stared directly at Gore. Gore instinctively knew that he was out of bounds. The incident made Gore look quite foolish.
Bush, perhaps with Rove's guidance, seems to have a knack for not peaking too soon. He seems to value the fact that focussing on achievements or gaining in popularity when there is nothing at stake is energy mis-focussed.
