Ahem, he actually said that Plame was the reason for Wilson going to Niger. Meaning that this idiot is calling Wilson a LIAR! Wilson claimed he was sent by the VP.

True. The author is clearly clueless - - way out of his depth.
In Henderson's world, Rove is bad. Bad, bad, bad. Rove MUST be bad.
Everybody Henderson knows says so.

I just got this through my email. How about this answer to the "holier than thou" DUmmies.
____________________________________________________________

This is the truth that those under 40 may never have heard. It is a travesty of justice that Ted Kennedy EVER got to the position of status and power that he has held all these years.

From Mary Jo Kopechne

I would have been 65 years of age this year.

Read about me and my killer below.

When Sen. Ted Kennedy was merely just another Democrat bloating on Capitol Hill on behalf of liberal causes, it was perhaps excusable to ignore his deplorable past.

But now that he's become a leading Republican attack dog, positioning himself as Washington's leading arbiter of truth and integrity, the days for such indulgence are now over.

It's time for the GOP to stand up and remind America why this chief spokesman had to abandon his own presidential bid in 1980 - time to say the words Mary Jo Kopechne out loud.

As is often the case, Republicans have deluded themselves into thinking that most Americans already know the story of how this "Conscience of the Democratic Party" left Miss Kopechne behind to die in the waters underneath the Edgartown Bridge in July 1969, after a night of drinking and
partying with the young blonde campaign worker. But most Americans under 40 have never heard that story, or details of how Kennedy swam to safety, then tried to get his cousin Joe Garghan to say he was behind the wheel.

Those young voters don't know how Miss Kopechne, trapped inside Kennedy's Oldsmobile, gasped for air until she finally died, while the Democrats' leading Iraq war critic rushed back to his compound to formulate the best alibi he could think of.

Neither does Generation X know how Kennedy was thrown out of Harvard on his ear 15 years earlier -- for paying a fellow student to take his Spanish final.

Or why the US Army denied him a commission because he cheated on tests.

As they listen to the Democrats' "Liberal Lion" accuse President Bush of "telling lie after lie after lie" to get America to go to war in Iraq, young voters don't know about that notorious 1991 Easter weekend in Palm Beach, when Uncle Teddy rounded up his nephews for a night on the town, an evening that ended with one of them credibly accused of rape.

It's time or Republicans to state unabashedly that they will no longer "go along with the gag" when it comes to Uncle Ted's rants about deception and moral turpitude inside the Bush White House.

And if the Republicans don't, let's do it ourselves by passing this forgotten disgrace around the Internet to wake up memories of what a fraud and fake Teddy really is.

The Democratic Party should be ashamed to have the national disgrace from Massachusettsas their spokesman.

And the GOP needs to say so out loud!!!!!!!!

Please pray for our Troops fighting for us. God Bless you All.

Did he say Clinton "split" hairs or "spit" hairs?

The slim-talented b*stard is trying like mad to be rescued from his red state gulag by the S.F. Chronicle or the L.A. Times. I wish him all the luck in the world. The good people of Idaho don't deserve him.

Agent Valerie Plame suggested her husband, former Ambassador Joe Wilson, go to Africa and investigate. He had experience in Middle Eastern and African diplomacy. When Wilson returned, he reported the administration was full of hot air. That didn't stop Bush from repeating the claim in his 2003 State of the Union address.

Holy cow...I've seen better writing in a high school newspaper -- and I went to school in California! But put that aside for a moment; this dunderhead is leaving out the part where, for undetermined reasons, George Tenet said that line shouldn't have been in the State of the Union address, and the Brits said, yes it should have, because we our intel guys know jack and Joseph C. Wilson Jr. -- the diplomat -- doesn't. It was only then that Robert Novak put the kibosh on Wilson's claim that he was, in a roundabout fashion, sent by Dick Cheney.

The great thing about the continued flogging of Rove is that it proves beyond shadow of doubt that there is a pervasive leftist bias in mainstream media. If there was no bias, somebody besides Fox News people would be highlighting Wilson's tarnished credibility. If there was true balance in MSM, someone would point out the fact that ambassadors are the parking attendants of the Executive Branch. In the grand scheme, they're almost worthless. The only qualification needed for the job is be on the tip of the tongue of majority party bigwigs. As April Glaspie and Larry Lawrence proved, you don't even need a brain to do the job. The media presumption that Wilson was up to the task of checking out the yellowcake claims just because someone in the CIA sent him falls apart upon serious scrutiny. But as those of us who are paying attention know, the most experience Embarrassador Wilson had inside the CIA came after wine and a candlelight dinner with his wife.

What's bad about it is that Rove, as I have said many times before, doesn't know that he's luckier than he will ever be good, and it appears that he's doing another "Rove-a-Dope" -- that is, just waiting until a controversy punches itself out -- when its easier and simpler to kill it with cold hard facts.

Fellow who wrote it is named Charles Sevilla. It was either Litigation or Trial magazine that used to carry his column.

I think Norton published it.

The only hairs Clinton ever split were Monica's pubes as he lubricated his cigar!

Does the author understand the use of paragraphs?

I mean, using a series of one-sentence "paragraphs" is really annoying, especially when the thoughts are logically (so-to-speak) connected together.

Imagine if I, someone who doesn't get paid to write, used that format.

And began sentences (or is that paragrpahs?) with conjunctions like "and".

People would think I'm an idiot.

Isn't it worse when a "professional" does it?
