Now the press is Hounding the President:
Everything I’m seeing still seems to revolve around “I didn’t say/know her name!”
Awfully flimsy, though the way this administration has seemingly avoided all the WMD talk, they’ll probably find a way to wiggle out of this one. But God I hope not.
Republican Talking Points are Out:
RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman Statement on the Partisan Attack on Karl Rove
There’s More:
• Cooper’s Own Email Claims Rove Warned of Potential Inaccuracies In Wilson Information
• Wilson Denied His Wife Suggested He Travel To Niger, But Documentation Showed She Proposed His Name
• Wilson’s Report On Niger Had “Thin” Evidence And Did Not Change Conclusions Of Analysts And Other Reports
• Sens. Roberts, Bond And Hatch All Dismissed Wilson’s Claims
• Wilson Tied To The 2004 Kerry Campaign For President
I don’t see anything about how sometimes you have to burn an agent for Freedom, and the Good of the Nation.
Sickening. Just sickening.
It really is getting ridiculous out there. Via Atrios, we have this yesterday from confirmed wanker Jon Podhoretz:
Uh, it was not classified information that Joe Wilson had a wife named Valerie Plame. It was classified information that she was a CIA operative. Being undercover doesn’t meant that no one knows you exist. (Indeed, this pretty much proves that anyone with access to Google would have been able to attach a name to “Joe Wilson’s wife”.)
All I really want at this point–aside from Rove’s firing and imprisonment for treason and severe punishment of everyone who helped him cover it up, that is–is for some Bush supporters to say, “Wow, this administration really is horribly corrupt, willing to do harm to national security for slight political gain. And the pundits and GOP leaders really are willing to latch on to any scrap of an argument to justify the administration’s actions, no matter how ridiculous. Maybe voting for this crew was a mistake, and maybe all those things they said about Kerry and the Democrats were overboard.”
Not holding my breath.
Woah…don’t go insulting me like that. 
I no way to I listen to that windbag voluntarily. I just spend a lot of time driving, and some of that driving time is spent with my boss.
Since he’s one of those “Thank Gawd Dubya is saving us from the Libruls, Terrorists, and Faggots” I get to hear the likes of Limbaugh, Hannitty, and Ingram quite often.
There’s nothing voluntary in it, I assure you. Unless the idea of voluntary listening translates to “unwilling to jam knitting needles in my ears”. In that case I’m guilty.

Right. I’ll take that as your admitting you can’t do it.
You think you’d be able to find it on www.howthosepussyliberalsoverreacttorush.com or something.

Let me know when you’ve got your examples. After all, they’re sooooo common.
-Joe, sooooo uncommon
Good lord! You are showing to the world that the mainstream media is your bitch and now you are saying that the alternative media has to be ignored?!
Up yours!!
If they were that insightful, they wouldn’t be Bush supporters to begin with.
May as well ask a flea to write a disseration on nuclear (noo-clee-ar) physics while you’re at it.
Aw, come on, there were a number of posters last fall who’d admitted to voting for Bush in 2000 but had come to realize their mistake since. I admit I haven’t seen any since the election, though.
It’s easy to allow yourself to get so scared you can’t think straight. It has nothing to do with insight or intelligence or good faith. It’s just human nature.
The first problem with Mehlman’s statement is that Wilson was right. The documents that were the supposed evidence for Saddam’s attempt to buy Uranium from Niger were forgeries.
“What did you know, Mr. President, and when did you know it?”
That’s the question they need to be asking.
"When did you know, Mr. President, that Karl Rove was the leak? Did you just find out last week that one of your closest advisors has been lying to you on a matter of national security for the past two years, when it was reported in the media? Or have you known that for the last two years, and have been reneging on your promise ever since?
“What did you know, Mr. President, and when did you know it?”

If that’s your level of proof, then I guess the case is closed for you.

However, getting the audio’s only part of the issue. As I emntioned before, I could rip my own recordings. It’s the generation of transcripts that has moved the affair so far down my priority list.
I think that if one subscribes to Rush’s site, you can even get access to tracripts. I’m just not ready to fork over the cash.
I’m sorry that my Straussian reading of Rush’s broadcasts have so upset you. I never intended to hurt your feelings.

Well, that’s it, isn’t it? Nothing more to see here, you looky-loos, move along.
What would we do without Helen Thomas? I’m dead serious. The only reporter who hasn’t rolled over and showed the White House her belly (disturbing as that image may be)…
Make that “the only reporter in the White House Press Corps” etc.
Right. Your laziness and lack of evidence is my problem.
Whatever. Have a nice day. Just do your best to skip repeating your false assertions please.

After the chairman of the Republican National Committee, Ken Mehlman, released his Rove talking points this morning (see post #343) he went on air with Wolf Blitzer at CNN.
When questioned closely about the Plame affair, Mehlman retreated behind the same ‘noble sentiment’ as the white house:
Mehlman, McClellan, Rove, LIMBAUGH, etc can take their “talking points” and choke on them. They will not say anything when directly questioned, but when they have their “prepared points” with them, they won’t shut up. I can already see the spin starting - hysterical Democrats, liberals, freedom haters and Commies are “hounding and persecuting” a “good and righteous” man who is only trying to protect us from all the evil freedom haters. To me, it is getting more and more simple. Justified or not, we are in a state of war (as these great patriots keep telling us). Therefore, to out a covert operative and severely compromise national security is an act of Treason. To attempt to sweep it under the rug, cover it up, or weasel word it away, is conspiracy to commit treason. To fail to act on or investigate the allegations because the guy is your buddy, is part of that conspiracy. How many hanging ropes will we need?
