Audio: Dem Congressman says it’s “likely” Rove planted the Rathergate memos

Congressman Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) believes Karl Rove was behind CBS’s infamous Bush National Guard memos. Today on Sean Hannity’s radio show, Hinchey asserted that Rove “presented” the documents so that CBS would pick up the story. “There’s a significant amount of evidence,” he insisted, while conspicuously failing to provide any.

Two years ago Congressman Hinchey made a similar claim at a community forum in Ithaca, New York. A LGF reader was there and recorded what he said. Audio is available at Little Green Footballs.

Hinchey sounds alot like Pinchy.

OTOH, if Rove really was the mysterious Lucy Ramirez, then hats off to the old boy.

[Red Badger]

I've heard of being in denial, but this is downright freudian paranoid......

[mnehring]

Did his evidence from this Rove plant originate in a Kinkos?

[pissant]

These are the idiots in charge of the legislative branch of the United States government. Shameful.

[Pete]

At least he admits they were fake. Ol' Dan hasn't even gotten that far yet.

[HEY4QDEMS]

Oh that Rove, he's a crafty one, he is.

[Yo-Yo]

This will come as a complete shock to Dan Ra^ther, who still insists the documents are genuine.

[Tarpon]

He put it in Sandy Burglar's socks.

[pissant]

Karl is still leaving anonymous messages on Rather's aswering machine claiming they are real and he'll get him more evidence soon. LOL

[Chi-townChief]

Sounds like Rove should "plant" a boot in Hinchey's ass.

[NeoCaveman]

Rove's not magnificent enough to pull that one off.

[dirtboy]

So let me see what the logic is here. Rove created forged memos that were of such poor quality that FR amateurs could determine they were bogus - but MSM reporters could not.

So not only did Rove forge the memos, but he set his mind control ray to "Shemp" and hit Dan Rather and Mary Mapes with a near-lethal dose.

This is an excellent example of a mind stuck on stupid...

It speaks volumes of the clueless POSs that elected him.

[dirtboy]

if Rove really was the mysterious Lucy Ramirez,

I really don't want to envision Karl Rove in drag.

[ShandaLear]

I sincerely hope he's right. LOL!

[kjo]

The Dems are sad and pathetic. It won't be long before they'll be inferring that Rove did 9/11. Just wait.

[hophead]

What is LGF? Is that a lesbian/gay/faggot newspaper?

[Brilliant]

Kook.

The Lefties are really showing their true colors more each day.
