CIA Agent Calls For GOP To Cancel Rove Fundraiser

Tonight, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove holds a fund-raiser with Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele, a Republican hoping to run for the Senate seat of retiring Democrat Paul S. Sarbanes.

The Maryland Democratic Party and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee put together a conference call for reporters to hear former CIA operative Larry Johnson (who lives in Bethesda) urge Steele to cancel his fund-raiser featuring Rove, whom he compared to the likes of convicted spy Aldrich Ames.

Johnson expressed outrage at Rove's discussing CIA agent Valerie Wilson with reporters — and then went slightly off-message.

Johnson touted his Republican credentials by citing his work for Missouri Republican Kit Bond's gubernatorial campaign, Sen. Orrin Hatch's recommendation as part of his CIA application and his proud vote for George W. Bush in 2000 because he was "sick and tired" of having a president who was talking about what the meaning of "is" is.
