Dennis Hastert is a total stroke

You have to be kidding.
Because one thing happens for one reason, anything that happens thereafter must perforce happen for the same reason?
That's a fallacy even the Greeks didn't have a phrase for.
Rove got out the word -- as did Libby -- as part of a political pushback/payback against Wilson for the NYT Op-Ed. Why Armitage did it is still up for grabs, although I'm inclined the believe the carelessness/recklessness excuse. But to conclude from that event that Rove was not acting out of political motives -- when, in fact, he never acts from anything else -- is wild and wonderful winguttery.

 

GOP campaigners in tight races are embarassed by Fatso, now. They're shooing him away.

Can't imagine why.

Maybe because he's a tool -- and a crook. Novak's next-to-last graph today is choice.

 

Oh, no.
He didn't use "on the same page," did he?
Wow.

 

No, none of that.

The usual kickback scam . . . loved by legislators, back to the dawn of time.

 

Lyman,
Wrong again. Sunshine is the best disinfectant to your way of thinking.

 

As it is with yours, and continues to be.

 

Just a bunch of wrong guesses, again, painted by completely partisan hackery. Your concession is duly noted.

 

Wrong guesses?
Rove leaked the name. He did it for his own reasons.
Whether it was criminal or not is not the question here.
By the way, his chief aide resigned last Friday over contacts with Jack Abramoff.
Nothing he does is not political.

 

You're what my old college roomate would refer to as a "tool bag".

 

Since you obviously have one helluva time staying with a topic -- perfectly understandable, given that you've yet to formulate one meaningful, intelligent argument for anything so you just bounce around -- the answer to the Rove question is simple: He should have said, "I have no comment on that." But then, that would've been too much like doing the right thing. And why remove petty politics from an equation that involved the life of a government agent and the lives of her sources around the planet? I guess it was just too late in the game to attempt to convince people that this White House stood for anything other than what is best for this White House.

 

So Wilson lies and says he was sent to North Africa by the Administration. The truth, as told in the 9/11 Commission report, was that his wife got him the gig. He wasn't some "centrist" seeking honest information, he was a hack. Explaining how he got the assignment was central to checking his credibility. Wilson was so badly discredited by the 9/11 report.

As Susan Schmidt reported in the Washington Post: "Contrary to Wilson's assertions and even the government's previous statements, the CIA did not tell the White House it had qualms about the reliability of the Africa intelligence."

The guy was a hack and a clown. Pointing out how he he lied about how he got the assignment was simply a part of debunking him.

This stuff has been known since 2004. Fitz-mas fizzled so badly for you guys, yet you can't even admit it and still have to continue lying about Rove despite overwhelming evidence against you.

 

Guys, just ignore tony. He doesn't actually believe this stuff, he just comes here to piss people off. Just ignore him.
