Kerry and Clinton call for Rove's ouster

CAPITOL HILL Former presidential candidate John Kerry says "Karl Rove ought to be fired." Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton -- a possible 2008 presidential contender -- nodded in agreement. The two appeared together on Capitol Hill.

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid says the matter of leaking a C-I-A agent's identity "rises above politics and is about our national security."

wait a sec - wasn't it Harry Reid who leaked the contents of FBI files just recently? raw data?

yes, and it was Kerry who gave out the name of a agent during the Bolton hearings.

[PeoplesRepublicOfWashington]

Since when did sKerry start giving a damn about national security?

[Peace will be here soon]

"A Time magazine reporter's e-mail -- obtained by Newsweek magazine -- says Rove, a top Bush adviser, spoke with the reporter about an undercover C-I-A agent."

An email ??? They have to be kidding.

This is even worse than some doctored up copy of a document that was destroyed. This proves nothing....But that is all a democrat needs to call for a Republican to get the axe. These people are beyond reason.

Rove isn't going anywhere, but if he was ousted, he would become the highest-paid political consultant in the country, no doubt. He'll still be helping the GOP in 2008, one way or the other.

Since when did sKerry start giving a damn about national security?

When he realized he could undermine it.

[GailA]

Yes, just do a google search or FR search. It was a NIA agent, during a Bolton hearing on C-Span to boot.

[Coldwater Creek]

if I remember right, hardly anyone in that adminstration had a security clearance for a very long time.

[JennysCool]

The President actually said it would be "taken care of," which could be anything from a reprimand to a firing.

[JIM O]

I am so proud that I am from Ma. and Kerry is my voice in Washington. I wonder when fat Ted will jump on this band wagon.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Laughable.

[JennysCool]

You remember right: loads of folks couldn't pass their background checks.

[areafiftyone]

I think The Dems are going to have Egg on their faces like they did with The Downing Street Memo and the CBS fiasco! You should see it on DU - it's non-stop Rove like it was non-Stop Downing Street Memo all the time. There is sooo much glee there for absolutely nothing.

"The Libs are afraid of Rove. If they can get Rove out then that will help them in 2008. If Rove is still around then he will help the Republican nominee in 2008 and Rove is excellent at what he does. They don't want him around."

This is true, but what they (Dumo's and the MSM) haven’t realized is that getting Rove "fired" does not eliminate him from existence. It only means relocating to a new office and getting his paycheck from a different direction. Unless........can a third party issue a restraining order???

[BushisTheMan]

Kerry, Kennedy, Klintoon, and Killery should all be fired.

[Steve_Seattle]

"phony outrage"

That's exactly right. You didn't hear a peep out of ANY of these people when Sandy Berger plead guilty to stealing and destroying classified documents. Where was the pimple-assed David Gregory then? Where was Terry Moran? (The spell-check didn't like "pimple-assed," but I left it in anyway.)

[TexasCajun]

Shouldn't the headline read:

Kerry & Rodham...

[mombonn]

Put some ice on it, RATS.

[johnmecainrino]

Kerry is a hypocrite he didn't want to prejudge Sandy Berger who was his national security advisor for his campaign when he was caught stealing the documents.

Kerry said not to prejudge Berger but he will prejudge Rove.

Typical hypocrite democrat.

Is it just me or is Hillary Clinton the ugliest high profile figure ever. She makes me ill to look at her.

[bray]

Shouldn't Yaaawn resign for outing the CIA agent 2 months ago in the Senate hearings???
