Anybody else watching the Senate on CSPAN 2? Reid just had his "Carl Rove' amendment to the Homeland Security funding bill read and spoke for about five minutes bashing Rove and Bush.
THEN, the clerk read an amendment proposed by Bill Frist that any office holder who discloses classified FBI information on the Senate floor and uses it to denigrate the U.S. military should have HIS security clearence removed. DURBIN alert!
Wow! Great stuff. Turn on CSPAN 2 immediately!
Yes Kerry "outted" Fulton Armstrong on national TV during the Bolton hearings.

LOL!!! I agree.
I believe Harry Reid also tossed out a judicial nominees FBI file recently in committee.
Jay Rockerfeller is making a good point about the leaking of classified information. So, let's pass the Frist amendment and pass the whole damn bill. Rove didn't leak the name of a covert operative, since she was no longer covert.
You near a TV? I think you will want to see this.
See this analysis by Pukin Dog. Makes sense. This is their Hail Mary pass.

Rockefeller seems a little tired. "They did this not to expose wrongdoing but to embarass her husband"--how do you know? Rove was CALLED; and he exposed Wilson's attempts to portray himself as some emmisary of the VP, which would make him seem "unbiased".
please explain ... I don't get it...Are they serious and how can they pass something when they are in the minority.
wait, they are tying to pass a law to make what Rove did illegal after he did it?
Yeah. LOL. The other guy kept saying "Mr.Smith", but Kerry kept calling the CIA agent by name anyway. Kerry wouldn't take the "Mr.Smith" hint. It's as if Kerry was outing the guy on purpose! (he probably was)
I kept thinking "Shut the hell up, Kerry!!!" when he kept talking about the CIA agent.
Rockefeller's "this is absurd" thing has my head spinning--wha..?
That's it!! I brought up another browser to search for his name. Thanks! I wanted to file it.
Yes, they are serious. No, it can't pass. They are just using it to try and embarrass the President but this time the Pubs are making them pay.
Way to go, Dr. Frist!!
Oh it is just a political ploy to get the story in the news. Of course they are serious. Serious delusional.
Yes. Jeff Sessions called them out on this, post facto attempt.
Roberts is going to SLAM Wilson right now.
