Reality just doesn't exit for NOBBY.

It was also a VERY serious crime for a person with NOBBY's professed
belief in regard to the utmost sanctity of potential human life.

Rove "isn't a target of the investigation", and yet the Democrats and
liberal press are jumping all over him. Would you like to bet that the
critics have egg on their collective faces once this investigation
unfolds completely?


How many years has it taken so far? Wanna bet the next 3 1/2 years fly by
with not conclusion?

You're a funny guy, you know? Who do you think decides who's a target?


The prosecutor.

Now don't ask me who pulls *his* strings, because I'm fully aware that
*all* investigations in Washington are a case of the fox guarding the hen
house.


Maybe President Bush's declaration that he'd get to the bottom of this was
just as feeble as his declaration that he'd get Osama Bin Laden.


It's really no different from Jamie Gorelick sitting on a committee
investigating 9/11 failures (and cover-ups a la Sandy Berger). She
drafted the damn memo that had us handling terrorism as a domestic
criminal act rather than an international act of war.

Oh, he's still living in a fairy tale... notice how it's the Dems fault
that Rove is possibly under suspicion in a case the Bush declared a
horrible crime that he'd pursue no matter who it was? Notice how NOBBY
retreated to insisting that Clinton was worse (blow job! evil!)?


I never mentioned Clinton by name.

More likely, she probably contracted an STD.

Bush promised to "take appropriate action" if any member of his
administration was found involved in the matter.


I am looking at the front page of the San Francisco Chronicle which has
pulled out several past quotes from Bush administration and put them
under the headline: "ROVE UNDER FIRE"

"If there is a leak out of my administration, I want to know who it
is... If the person has violated the law, that person will be taken
care of." President Bush - 2/10/2004

"Involved" doesn't mean criminal activity.


Why hasn't Rove been fired?

I wish we knew how many of his staff heard him say that and thought to
themselves "Aw jeez....who let him say that?"

There have been other statements from the White House that call for firing
without the mention of illegality.


Unless Rove is paid as an independent consultant, we'd have to finance his
unemployment insurance. Better to keep him on the payroll where he's at
least a little more visible.

And that is the ONLY thing that the Republicans think will save his and
their asses. The fact that Rove didn't use a proper name when outing
the operative. Let's put this another way. Do you think that it was
proper and prudent to the security of the U.S. and the C.I.A. for Rove
to do that? Why do you think he did what he did?

The only people who could possibly think that Rove isn't the one who
did this, are fools. Really. Rove has said as much himself.

"...involved in the matter..." and "... leaking the name of an
undercover CIA officer..." are not the same Harry.

Rove did not leak a name.


If was "involved" before a name was leaked, it was his patriotic duty to
have the soon-to-be-guilty party busted, and fast.

Notice the word "if", which indicates conjecture, just like your "Rove did
not...." comment.


So Rove knew who leaked the name?
