If Karl Rove was a Democrat, this non-story would receive the same attention as the Sandy Berger debacle - NONE.
He would be receiving an award.
And most likely, he would be stuffing his pants with Sandy Berger. (gotta attract the ladies somehow, right Sandy.)
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV)
Senator John Kerry (D-MA)
John Deutsch, the CIA director under former President Clinton
New Mexico Governor (D)Bill Richardson
Democratic Senator Rockefeller
Democratic Senator Wyden
Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont
Sandy Berger, former National Security Adviser under President Clinton
Ain't it the truth.
If Karl were a Dem they would have statues built in his honor....spanning the nation!
Exactly, AIM rocks!

This would be a story if it ever made it into the paper it'd be on maybe page 11. If Karl Rove was a dem...he'd not be the genius he is...he'd be just another dumbass dembo...
Sandy berger not only took documents , he asked for the back up copies also.He got off so lightly as to be an insult to the American people. He stole all copies of some documents and destroyed them. Hmmm
Or, if he were a democrat, he would be treated JUST LIKE LEAHY was when his comments to the press ended up in a CIA agent being executed.
A widdle slappy on the wristy poo. Period.
Thanks for the ping.
Interesting read.
If Rove were a dem, he'd have a "news" show on CNN and, probably, PBS. He'd be able to sneak into federal offices and steal documents that proved the President's complicity with the terrorists in the late 90s. Rove would be on the Sunday morning "news" shows and would be trotted out with words of idiocy every time the left-wing media was ordered to oppose an action or policy of a Republican President.
All them combined have the intelligence of a gnat.
I think we should post it at the DU and watch them come unglued.
Doug forgot to ping you with earlier. I think this reporter has been listening to Levin. He has pointed out all of the things Levin has been saying.
It would get the instantaneous lock-ban-delete treatment.
As a matter of fact, a Clinton aide - not a top aide, but a political appointee - did release personal information about one of Clinton's accusers, highly embarrassing information at that: I am referring of course to former Assistant Secretary of Defense Kenneth Bacon's decision to release Linda Tripp's 3-decade old arrest record to New Yorker writer Jane Mayer.
Bacon's actions - unlike anything Karl Rove is said to have done - were clearly illegal. And what happened in that case? Basically a big pile of nothing. There was never much media interest in the matter, and when eventually Bacon was reprimanded and issued an apology of sorts, the matter dropped from sight. Tripp's reputation suffered irreparable permanent damage; Bacon went on to a distinguished post-governmental career as president of Refugees International
During Watergate, the House held closed meetings early in the investigation, which meant that they were confidential. The precise exchanges of those meetings were common knowledge almost as soon as a session ended. Someone calculated that the secrets of those meetings were kept confidential for only as long as it took a participant to walk from the chamber to the nearest pay phone. Moral: Congress is a notoriously poor security risk, as its members seem incapable of keeping secrets when disclosure appears politically advantageous.
