This Could Be the Start of Something Bigger (Wilson Alert)

EIB ^ | 9-30-03 | Rush Limbaugh

[jmstein7]

Of course, Wilson's wife was not a secret agent or any sort of agent. She has no cover to blow - and her name is published in her husband's own website bio, besides!

This is why I'm saying that you people are scandal-oriented. That's how you try to dispatch your enemies. Note please that Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) was kicked off the Senate Intelligence Committee for leaking classified data - and further note that since 1989, Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) wanted to end penalties for this very sort of crime! It is a crime, but it has no connection whatsoever to the White House. So where did it come from? Well, a lot of Reno and Clinton people are still at Justice and State, folks. This "new tone" has stopped the Bush people from cleaning them out - and the Clintons could easily have rang one of them up for a favor. "What's your evidence, Limbaugh? You have no proof!"

Yeah, I know. If only I were a Democrat, the seriousness of that charge would be enough to get wall-to-wall coverage for the next week. Plus, Bob Novak said emphatically that nobody from the White House called to leak to him about this. His source is at the CIA. You people are grasping at straws. Sadly, I know this is only the first phase of this. From Iran-Contra to Thomas-Hill to the October Surprise, the left has sought to recreate Watergate - like frat boys trying to recreate a spontaneous kegger. Attorney General John Ashcroft didn't comment on this case directly when I rolled him live on Tuesday's show because there's an "ongoing investigation of criminal violations." But I wanted to make it clear that any violation of the law will be found out. The idea that every leak must lead straight to the White House is scandal mongering; the CIA asks that about 50 leak cases be investigated every year! There Never Would've Been a Bork Without the Dem's Watergate "Party"

Another caller pointed out similarities to the charges that Tony Blair outed a news informant in the UK. Why, just look at how the left mischaracterized Bush's 16 words stating - 100% factually - that Saddam "tried to buy uranium from Africa." They acted as if he'd said, "Saddam bought the stuff from such-and-such a guy on 4th Street in Niger so we have to go to war right now!" This Wilson thing just smells funny, folks, because we've seen it happen so many times before. When you realize that Bob Novak wrote the column with Mrs. Wilson's name way back in July, the timing - on a day when we have fantastic economic news - makes the stench rise higher.

From the day Algore failed to steal the Florida election, the left has chipped away at this president. He was uneducated, a frat boy, a hick, unqualified, illegitimate, secretive and on and on and on. If they get an independent prosecutor it could drag out for a whole year - right up until election time. They are literally jumping at anything that presents itself, and in this case my reference to it being manufactured comes because this "news" is old. Just look at House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi saying, "We know this leak came from the White House."

There was no leak, and in fact Bob Novak says it did not come from the White House but from the CIA! This is how one-trick, one-playbook this party is. "Repeat it often enough and it becomes a fact." The scandal-creation machinery is kicking into motion. I wouldn't be surprised if this ultimately leads to a demand for a total investigation by an independent counsel of the whole intelligence process, with the objective being to destroy Bush and the CIA over the lack of real weapons of mass destruction finds. I think the Democrats are dead set on making this stick to Bush. They're going to keep demanding a special prosecutor, because they already think Bush is guilty - in their minds, all Republicans are.

If the democrats think this is going to bring down the Bush Administration, they are dreaming. All I can say is that they had better hope someone in the White House is found guilty of this or the public will come down on them hard. The general public thought Bill Clinton was being picked on and he was currupt to the bone

Right!

Pizza is 'delivered' all the time.

I listened to part of Pelosi's crap on TV today. She started saying that "It is a known fact" that the White leaked the information. She rambled on and at the end she said, "If this proves to be true", then....

So is what she said was a fact, or if it proves to be true then it is a fact? What a bunch of double speak. How many idiots listened to her and only heard the first part of her statement?

Then listen to Novak state on TV that hey I didn't get any calls from the White House, I got the info from sources in the CIA. Kinda should end the investigation right then and there, but no, the fire is getting stoked!

Then Wilson stated that he didn't have any info that Karl Rove was behind it, he said he made it up while caught up giving a speech.

But then those types of things don't matter, the news media, the DEMS and anyone else with a half baked idea are trying to superglue this non-issue to the President.

Looks to me like the DEMS will do anything to overthrow the government or mess it up to get elected so they can mess it up even more!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Pelosi is an idiot.

"What do you mean, 'the leaker was a Democrat'. Lie damn you"

"I listened to part of Pelosi's crap on TV today. She started saying that "It is a known fact" that the White leaked the information. She rambled on and at the end she said, "If this proves to be true", then...."

Nancy Pelosi is like Chuckie Schumerde, aka Senator Putz: Nancy Pelosi is a political whore.

[jungleboy]

Unfortunately, if you don't read it here on this web-site, or don't get to listen to talk radio during the WORK day, you would never learn the truth.

The DNC's control of the major media is their #1 weapon. Taking away the clintonista's control of the media (they have a world-wide grip right now, imho) is the only way to defeat these enemies of The United State of America. The Biggest battle, imho.

[El Gato]

If, as Rush states, Novak got the information at CIA, the only "senior administration official", which is who Novak attributes the information to, at CIA is the DCIA, George J. Tenet, a Clintonista holdover. The confirmation could have come from someone else at CIA or even someone at State, since Wilson was an Ambassador under El Doblado (The Bent One).

[jimmccleod]

Where has it been said that Novak did not get the info from the White House but got it from CIA? If you read Novaks statement, he said only that no administration official "Called" him to give him the info. He still says that administration officials gave him the info, but that they gave it to him during the process of him interviewing them. The only thing Novak refutes is that administration officials did not "call" him to give him the info, meaning that they did not make a special effort to pass along that info, but rather it came out during an interview.

The spinning that is going on here trying to give new meaning to Novaks words is amazing. Rush is being less than honest in his statments.

[alnick]

Yes, Sean Hannity was doing the same thing. There's no reason for it. It could be that both Rush and Sean just missed this, which would make them careless because it's right out in the open.

In either case, they're not doing any good by getting the facts mixed up.

I can top that. I was just now watching the dummycrats in the House doing their little after hours piss 'n moan session. Jay Inslee said, get this (paraphrased, but damn close to verbatim), "We've got problems in Iraq now, and we don't need this distraction."

Can you believe, even coming from a 'Rat, the unbridled, over-the-freakin'-top hypocrisy required to make a statement like that? This P.O.S. knows that his party is engineering this, that they are purposefully causing this "distraction", that they want it to be as big, and as drawn out and as "distracting" as it can possibly be made to be, and yet he has the gall to regret it, to decry it, as an unacceptable distraction!!!! What shameless, corrupt and unctuous pretence.

Good, God. I'm glad for the sake of my television that there wasn't a brick handy.

[Sabertooth]

If the democrats think this is going to bring down the Bush Administration, they are dreaming.

Agreed. Wilson's a liar. That's the beginning and end of the story.

[technomage]

This is the same Limbaugh that just a few months ago was telling us over and over and over that it's over for the Dem's. They are finished. Well, this would NOT be a big I told you so!!

[El Gato]

Where has it been said that Novak did not get the info from the White House but got it from CIA?

Don't know, which why I said, "If ... this is true." The DCIA *is* however a "Senior Administration Official", I think, but since Novak, like the rest of the presstitudes, won't name sources, it could be anybody, even if there is supposed to be an informal "code" for what a "Senior Administration Official" actually is. DCIA reports directly to the President, and serves at his pleasure as well. I don't see how you can get any more "senior" than that.

[MHGinTN]

It's a clinotn/MCawful trade secret, misdirection-mischaracterization-red herring ... Remember 'most ethical administration', then establish just the opposite with first firing every single Federal prosecutor and appoint new ones picked by the degenrate and his wife? Remember 'let's stop this politics of personal destruction' as Billy Dale is being crucified for absolutely nothing but trumped up flase charges? Remember 'I'm not some ... standing by my man', then lie threaten, subvert, steal, and destroy women with the facts about her degenerate man? One need look no further than McAwful to find the author's messenger, with the author being the degenerate still running the democrat party from the toilet bowl, sinkEmperor clintoon! Oh what I would give for a copy of the talking points that arranged this artificial scandal. This smells just like the crap we witnessed in 'gravitas' comments from numerous democrats on Sunday talk just prior to the elections! Sadly, the average American voter is too stupid to see the leaves on the democrat dead so they'll never realize this is just more poison from the axis of acorns ... the bitter little nuts fallen from the clinton tree, unfit for consumption.

[Stultis]

Capital rant, MHG!

[ridesthemiles]

I think you can eliminate the word "political" from your sentence.
