- It is AMAZING how much influence Rush and right wing radio have over hard working americans. Don't you guys understand that Armitage was not the only one to 'mention' Mrs. Plame? Anyone with a brain can see that Cheney got angry at Wilson for discrediting his Iraqi nuke ploy and wanted revenge so he told everyone around him to let it 'slip' that Wilsons wife worked for the CIA. As for the idiots who say Plame was not a undercover CIA agent...time to get the GOP out of your head and know the truth:
Valerie Wilson was a career undercover officer who was Chief of operations of the CIA's Joint Task Force on Iraq--part of the Counterproliferation Division of the agency's clandestine Directorate of Operations--who were mounting espionage operations to gather information on the WMD programs Iraq might have. The JTFI was trying to find evidence that would back up the White House's assertion that Iraq was a WMD danger.
So you see Cheney wanted us to find any rational possible to goto war with Iraq. When Wilson refuted Cheneys yellow cake lies he started smearing the Wilsons along with the rest of the GOP. - Reply to this comment
- I am sick and tired of the maintream media trying to discredit the Bush administration. It has been a waste of time and money. Why can't the media just leave them alone to do their jobs which tax payers hired them to do. Partisanship is so strong in those reporters's mind that they don't even care if it is destructive or even harmful to the country's interest. They just want to see blood from those people that they hate.

- Where are the demands for David Shuster's firing at MSNBC. Shuster is the one who "broke" the story that Rove would be indicted on Chris Matthews show. Shuster has been on a 6 year anti encumbant nefarious witch hunt at MSNBC and has been allowed to operate with malevolent reckless abandon. Why is he still employed at MSNBC and contributing in any capacity. He risked his career to be the one on the front end of the breaking indictment story. Every time I see Shuster's face I associate him with the most egregious form of slanted jaded reporting with an obsessive idealogy being the genesis of his evident bias. Fire Shuster now!

- WHERE ARE ALL THE NEWS STORIES NOW, RETRACTING THE ACCUSATIONS THAT THE LEAK WAS AN "ORCHESTRATED WHITE HOUSE ATTACK ON JOE WILSON" AND THAT IT WAS KARL ROVE WHO LEAKED PLAME'S NAME (SHE HAD LONG SINCE BEEN OUT OF UNDECOVER WORK ANYWAY). WHY AREN'T ALL THE LIBERAL NEWS OUTLETS,INCLUDING CBS, COMING OUT NOW RETRACTING ALL OF THE ACCUSATIONS AND ALLEGATIONS AGAINST THE BUSH ADMINISTATION? I'LL TELL YOU WHY THEY AREN'T - BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T HURT BUSH, THAT'S WHY. WHAT A BUNCH OF GARBAGE.

- Ohhhh come on man. This is all you got? Fitzgerald spent how many months and all he could get was a charge of "cover up" by Scooter Libby with no underlying crime. If no underlying crime was commited (which is admitted as there was no charge) how can there possibly be a cover up. What was he covering up? MSNBC "broke" the story on Chris Matthews show that "Rove will be indicted". That turned out to be egregiously and nefariously erroneous. Meanwhile the Democrats charged "culture of coruption" while Cynthia Mckinney slapped a Capital Officer, Patrick Kennedy drove the D.C. streets like a 16 year old hooligan, William Jefferson had $90K in his freezer while Katrina ravished his state and Harry Reid was as cozy with Jack Abromoff as classified documents are in Sandy Bergers socks. And you wonder how Sandy can get away with sayin word one about this ABC Sept 11 speical. How can Sandy say word one? He has no credibility. Come on Sandy - What did you sneak out in your socks that the 9/11 commission couldn't see? Your a disgrace. And the media just gives a free pass to the Dems as they always have. Now we can just wait for Bob Iger to pull or "edit" the 9/11 movie because the Clinton team is "demanding" they do so. Thank God for Fox News. The only news source remotely to the center.

- Here we go again...two days in a row...the neo-dittoheads (Rush's brain dead friends) are out in force screaming bloody murder for revenge against anything that even resembles a liberal slant. We said it yesterday and I'll say it today...their scared. They come out in the dark of night like slime breathing hate instead of reason. They only do it when their scared....less then 60 days left before we really know what lies they have told for the past 6 years...the cover-ups they have contributed to...it's all going to surface. The shredders are working overtime. I am loving every minute of it......watching their fear of whats coming this November is more exciting then the election itself.

- I'm sorry to have to tell you people this, but this isn't news. You should stop talking about it, and pick up long overdue interest in any other of the world's ongoing affairs.
Since the get go, this whole story has been a ploy by Bob Novak to buffer his own ego, and secondarily to force more people to read his column; he knew from the beginning that the equally guilty demofrauds had nothing on him, but let the story work itself into an empty media frenzy. In a time when there are so many more important issues to cover, this is a sin in itself.
Everyone in the media should be ashamed for pushing this nothing of a story so hard on us.
Ooh, who leaked the name of Valerie Plame.. ask yourself: do you actually care? Why?
I'm never reading another Bob Novak column again. - Reply to this comment
- I thought ignorance of the law is no excuse?

- It is a crime to knowingly reveal the identity of an undercover CIA officer. This did not apply to Valerie Plame and that was known day #1 of the investigation. Why the investigation? Why the wasted millions of dollars and all the lathering of the mouth from "Scary" Harry Reid, Nancy "tough talk" Pelosi and other no nothing democrats. Where is the fire? Where is the smoking gun? You talk about the presdient's popularity numbers. Look at your own. They are significantly lower.
Good Luck in November. With no ideas and no direction to a better future for America, the democratic party rips bush and offers no vision of where they would take us. They just tell us with perfect 20/20 hindsight what has failed without even having the ability to offer a better solution.
Perfect!! - Reply to this comment
