What a great tagline and post, thanks!

Break out the popcorn. The Left is literally at a loss. They keep beating themselves. I can't fathom it but their stupidity is conservatives' greatest gain.

from my mail bag;




This Rove/Plame/Wilson scandalette is following the familiar pattern of every such brouhaha we've had in the Bush administration from Halliburton to Abu Ghraib to Tom DeLay to Gitmo.
These are the twelve stages that we have come to recognize and expect.

1. Something comes out in the press that looks terribly damaging.

2. The media goes into overdrive hyping the story and focusing on it monomaniacally.

3. The lefty bloggers start drooling in glee.

4. Democratic politicians make somber, seemingly heartsick speeches denouncing the administration in increasingly vituperative language.

5. Then, after a day or so, the right side of the fence kicks into gear. The RNC starts issuing press releases to show how things are being taking out of proportion.

6. Righty bloggers start looking at the actual evidence, going back through old news stories to remind people of the historical facts. Long-forgotten little reports in the media are resurrected to exonerate the Bush people.

7. Conservatives get just as angry as those on the left.

8. The media barely reports any of the debunking of the original story. They continue with whatever storyline they established in the first days of the kerfuffle.

9. Fox News interviews someone like Byron York to show how misleading the original storyline was. Maybe there is a story in the Wall Street Journal or the New York Post, but barely anything in the Washington Post, New York Times, network news et al.

10. Conservatives get angrier and more cynical about the MSM.

11. Liberals get more gleeful, but also more frustrated.

12. The liberals are frustrated because polls come out showing that few people care about the story that has so excited them so. The story eventually dies down and once again the liberals come off looking like buffoons.

Lather (Lefty and media outrage), rinse (righty debunking), and repeat (whatever the next supposed scandal is lurking out there

"... McCain/Rice ..."

Surely you jest. McCain? The Democrats should be so lucky if the GOP nominates John McCain, for they will more than likely win.

[Hardastarboard]

we won't even have to campaign for McCain

Here's a small piece of absolute truth, buried in the story.

[SkyPilot]

Byron York's interview with Rove's lawyers spilled some monumental details that have turned this story completely around.

Rove's signed a release to "any person" to release his name way, waaaaay, waaaaaaay back in 2003!

The drama queens (Miller and Cooper)are both still lying about it. Miller just wanted jail time to be a supposed martyr and to work on her book deal, and Mr. Mandy Grunwald Cooper lied when he feigned he had received a last minute reprieve from the Governor.

The Special Counsel may now focus on Wilson himself for his malfeasence--and good ole "Frog March" Joe has many more reasons to worry than Rove does.

They over reached....again.

This is really the media's Howard Dean Insanity Moment. You gotta love it!

[GVnana]

when the collective left is exposed and embarrassed by the truth of what this may really be about (Hello, New York Times?), the whole story will fade faster than George Hamilton without a sun lamp.

I dunno. The media and the libs have managed to distort the issues in the Schiavo case beyond all recognition. The lies have a longer life than she did. I suspect they'll have some success with Rove.

I saw Victoria Tensing ( I think that is her name ) on TV today. She was one of the co-authors who wrote the CIA law that says you can't out a covert agent. She said ROVE DID NOT BREAK THAT LAW.
