This Rove story is already dead and by August 1st no one will remember it (in the general public) nor will the MSM still be covering it. It's already over and the MSM knows it...they are just milking the last few drops from it.
That's true. They also can't force an impeachment through a Rebublican majority in the House, but they're deluded enough to think that they have a chance.
It's disturbing to realize how separated from reality the leftists have become.
Bingo, and to take it a step further, why wood Rove let Cooper off the hook (so Cooper wouldn't also have to go to jail)in disclosing Rove's name?
So what you saw today, was the husband of one of Hillary Clinton’s main lieutenants lying on television to keep a dying story alive. Matthew Cooper is without credibility and should not be trusted."
Another poster put the name of Mandy Grunewald out there as Copper's wife. Is that true? So far, I've never seen that brought up by Cooper or anyone in the MSM.
Washington is so incestuous that 'full disclosure' of political connections should be de riguer.
They have no toehold in any land of truth anymore -- so indulgent have they been.
Yeah, It's pretty tough for the Commies to make this garbage stick without Walter Cronkite spoon-feeding it to the public every night at 6 o'clock.
Notice how all the screaming heads of the DNC while screaming for Rove's scalp are not mentioning Miller being in jail. If they did someone might ask the embarassing question, "Is Miller in jail to protect Karl Rove?"
One can only imagine the laughter across this nation if that got out on ABCNNBCBS tv's screaming DNC heads on this Sunday.
Oh Pukin, that was beautiful. If you are right, and I think you are, this gonna be fun to watch!
That's similar to what was going on with Wilson's editorial comments: Administration said that Iraq was seeking Yellowcake...Wilson said they were lying because his trip showed that Niger wasn't selling them any - not that Wilson's comments didn't fall apart anyways, but fundementally these two statements aren't in opposition.
This is a farcical version of the Plame game!
Cooper flat-out lied when he told Tim Russert that he first heard the identity of Joe Wilson’s wife from Rove. Rove never mentioned the woman’s name, only that Wilson’s wife worked for the CIA. He never said who that woman was.
I remember Rove's answer to Cooper was "You heard that, too? when asked about Wilson's wife.
Rove did not bring up Wilson's wife to Cooper. Cooper brought it up to Rove.
That kindof misses the point. The issue was if Rove had known not just that whe worked for the administration, but that she was a covert agent who the CIA had taken "affirmative measures" to create a hidden identity...and that further, he had learned of this through internal sources. From a legal point of view there are several other measures of intent that need be demonstrated too, but that is sufficient.
Even if he had said her name, unless he took information from "inside" and made it known "outside", it is not leaking. It is in no way illegal to repeat reporters comments to another reporter, and several reporters - both liberal and conservative - came out and said that they had known Plame worked for the CIA before Novak's column came out. Further, it is not illegal to state that someone works for the CIA (unless it is false) - ONLY to out an "undercover" or clandestine agent.
There have been widespread reports that George Tenet worked for the CIA. Porter Goss too.
This fuss is to make it SOUND like Clintonian malfeasance...which is the whole point of many of the Dem attacks.
Richard Nixon is all Republicans,
and all Republicans are Richard Nixon.
Yes, it is true. They were married while the Clintons were still in the White House (Hillary threw a shower for her) and they are the recent parents of a baby girl.
This is a farcical version of the Plame game!
Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen and,
WELCOME TO
DON'T PLAME ME!
The hot new game craze that is sweeping newsrooms across
the District of Columbia.
Tonights contestants are Vallerie from Camp Swampy.
And Karl from the shining City on a Hill.
Now lets meet our constestants....blah blah blah!
Can anyone get confirmation that Cooper's wife works for Hilary Clinton?
If anything this seems like an orchestrated false testimony (see Bill's orgestration of a fake affidavit in Paula Jones).
The story behind the story may have MORE legs if it can be traced back to Hitlary.
This is despicable, but they are desparate.
