Top editors of the NY TIMES made the decision Monday afternoon to turn up the heat on White House adviser Karl Rove.
The TIMES is planning to lead with calls for Rove's resignation, newsroom sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT. MORE...
Learn what, lose elections? No thanks.
Has anyone else seen those commercials for the NYT on television? I noticed that while actors in the commercial say they like it for various reasons, it's never for the editorial slant or the news coverage.
"I like the crossword puzzle."
"The classified ads are great."
"My trashman likes it when I wrap the garbage in it."
They're both LIARS. I don't believe anything they say. They attended a Clinton state dinner in 1999(see above photo). I don't think the CIA allows their "covert" officers to attend state dinners with their "diplomat" husbands!
"The Dems also tried to sneak a measure into a bill killing funding for the investigation."
Could you briefly expand?
The chance of this happening is an absolute zero. Stop the knee jerk reaction.
Exactly.
THEY MSM IS ALREADY REPORTING THAT ROVE DID NOT REVEAL PLAME'S NAME....OR THAT SHE WAS COVERT...
OH...AND THEY ARE STARTING TO REPORT THE FACT THAT SHE HAS YET TO HAVE BEEN SHOWN COVERT.
They know this story is dying. They know Rove did NOT break any laws. They Know that PLAME was NOT covert.
This is their last ditch effort. The story is dead. And they are sad.
I am getting more convinced that this is heading right at the Wilson's and especially Mrs. Wilson. You are right that some folks jumped ship from the CIA in a hurry. I think they know exactly who the leaker was and wanted out of there.
If it turns out she is part of the leaking, it is going to be hilarous to watch the media spin that one!
No idea.
Here is a link that refers to it but I don't know about it

And playing the devils advocate, he did have a motive.
"Scott McClellan, Bush's spokesman, repeatedly declined to say whether he stood behind his previous assertions that Rove played no role in the matter""
Hey NY TIMES.....THERE HAS BEEN NO EVIDENCE TO SHOW THAT ROVE LEAKED ANYBODY'S NAME.
So, so far, their is NO indication that Rove had a role in leaking a name.
By the way, Your paper sucks.
Ah, but there is a Special Prosecutor and he subpoenaed the reporters to testify in front of a Grand Jury. The reporters did not want to testify, and it was not to save Karl Rove. In the best tradition of Mr. Sherlock Holmes, there is only one other explanation ...
My bet is that the special prosecutor is going after leaks from CIA to the media and Miller was someone who was leaked to -- think that Novak is trying to connect dots without revealing too much.
Rove sees to it that the press has the truth about Wilson and the press wants Rove punished despite not breaking any laws.
An FBI agent, Mark Felt, sees to it the press has the truth about Nixon and the press wants to give him a Nobel peace award despite him having broken laws.
President Bush's chief of staff Andrew Card, left, senior advisor Carl Rove, center, and press secretary Scott McClellan, right, leave the White House, Tuesday, April 20, 2004, for a trip to Buffalo, N.Y. and New York City with President Bush. For the better part of two years, the word coming out of the Bush White House was that presidential adviser Karl Rove had nothing to do with the leak of a female CIA officer's identity and that whoever did would be fired. But Bush spokesman Scott McClellan wouldn't repeat those claims Monday July 11 2005 in the face of Rove's own lawyer, Robert Luskin, acknowledging the political operative spoke to Matthew Cooper of Time magazine, one of the reporters who disclosed Valerie Plame's name.

Actually, Chrissy girl Matthews had a reporter on from the NY Post tonight.
SHE POINTED OUT HOW THE BIPARTISAN SENATE INVESTIGATION REPORTED THAT WILSON HAD LIED ABOUT HIS REPORT!
Matthews tried to play it off....but she would not let him.
The media is upset because they ran with Wilson's bogus story. And then it was proven bogus.
When the transcript of Hardball is up (Tues night) I will post it.
Matthews had the pathetic line to ask...."why hasn't the other side...the White House done a better job talking about it"
THE WHITE HOUSE MENTIONED IT MANY TIMES OVER A SIX MONTH PERIOD.
So according to Chrissy girl, the WH had editorial claim over MSNBC? It was MSNBC and the others who did not report it.
No stopping it now. I have heard it mentioned a ton over the past two days. Along with the issue of Plames NON covert status.
Do you know when the story is gonna run ? I want to make sure I buy a copy... I try to buy the NY post everyday but it cost the same as a buttered roll, some mornings I go for the roll and skip the post... and yes I am that much of a cheapskate, I know its only 50 cents but I work hard for my money and try not to part with it if I can help it. LOL
Where did you find that pic and info.
IF there is a media or public source for it.....You should post it on it's very own thread. It shows that she was very public.
In the end, it's a story that goes nowhere. Let them whine.
