Democrats look for legs in CIA 'outing'

They're on the brink of losing the California governorship. The economy, their strongest issue against President Bush, appears to be recovering. And their sudden front-runner for the presidential nomination is a general who admired Nixon and Reagan

Compared to the naked treason of the Clinton administration, this is a subatomic particle.

I would like to take a moment to ask for donations.

It should be clear to all conservatives by now that the left intends to demonize us. They don't just disagree with us, they hate us. And worse, they want to get other people to hate us.

Places like Free Republic drive the left batty.

Please donate. Thanks for your consideration.

I suspect that unless this story takes an exciting twist, John Q. Public will quickly forget about this. It looked kind of sexy at first glance -- administration reveals undercover CIA agent's identitiy -- but it's one of those where the story doesn't live up to the headline.

Compared to the naked treason of the Clinton administration, this is a subatomic particle.

Not to democrats though. They're going to make this fiddle into a full blown orchestra. One thing a lot of folks forget is that W's Dad was once a DIRECTOR of the CIA.

fyi

Other analysts say that while the accusations are serious, Mr. Bush has skillfully handled the episode so far.

Hillary, we're getting our fat ass kicked

It's interesting that the Dems care so much about this leak.

But they comment little about the Muslim Chaplain etc., people that THEY SUPPOSEDLY INVESTIGATED UNDER THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION since this Muslim bit was started back then. Did they give us phoney info on these people? or just ignore what they found as normal Muslim activities or was it all about another "block vote".

It has started to bubble up since last week.

The 'bubble' is not a boil but just democrats farting in the bath water. Liberal 'true belivers' think Bush could do something like this because it is what they would do if they had the whitehouse.

The Rats might try looking in their own house to find the leak, but I am sure they would not dare do that.

[Kaslin]

It would not surprise me if the leak didn't come from the rats at all

[Yardstick]

Yes, this is more selective outrage from the Rats. I would like to think that the public has enough sense to understand this and see that the Dems are milking this big time, but I don't have that much faith in the public. The saving grace here is that this story is just really not all that interesting (it would be interesting if the so-called "undercover CIA agent" were anything like the image that comes to mind when one hears the words "undercover CIA agent", or if it were one of the tip top admin figures who was the leaker, which is unlikely -- as it is, it all just looks like esoteric insider squabbling, the sort of thing that keeps FReepers and DUmmies awake at night but which bores everybody else, and which depresses cable news program ratings if too much time is spent on it) and also football season has started.

Heck, this thing isn't even a string a fiddle, it's more like me tapping out Dixie with my index finger

[joesnuffy]

Thats funny the Clintlers fired and probably outed agents all over the world..
if they had been Reagan or Bush appointments or hires
Those former SS agents he dumped and converted to ATF that were sent to WACO & killed
on the first wave...come to mind..
But the Dems have such short and muddied memories

[Sacajaweau]

That's what I think,too. She handles classified documents.

It still bothers me that no one in the White House had pre knowledge of sending Wilson to Africa. Regardless, the Prez used British Intelligence in those 16 words.

bookmarked for future liberal bias case study....

It would not surprise me if the leak didn't come from the rats at all.

Exactly. Thanks for posting this article!

"This goes to questions about the way Bush and his White House conduct business — my way or the highway.

We know how the clinton white house conducted business. Just ask Billy Dale and the rest of the White House Travel Office.
