Guckert as Rove's little pal. That would link him easily to Plame, Iraq bombing plans, the Bush Desertion memos and so much more. ====== rotten.com "...Portly, balding, malicious, simpering, he looks like a cross between Sesame Street's Mr. Hooper and the Third Reich's Heinrich Himmler. And he acts like a cross between Heinrich Himmler and Henry Kissinger. Whom he also looks like. And not in a good way. Oh yeah, he's a man who compromised national security, putting lives of American agents in danger. Wait, I forgot a word there. What was it? Oh, I remember! Allegedly.... John McCain, whose sacrifices in a military prison camp in Vietnam looked all the more impressive against Bush's no-show National Guard travesty. Rove conducted a whisper-campaign to spread sleaze, pushing ridiculous allegations, such as that McCain was a stoolie while imprisoned in Vietnam. Rove was reputedly the brains behind a sleazy e-mail forward that alleged McCain had fathered an illegitimate black daughter, a lie which was "proven" by actual pictures of McCain with his black daughter, whom he had actually adopted. Obviously, McCain should have been drinking and snorting coke throughout the '70s, rather than serving his country, enduring torture and adopting children.... The White House has refused to speculate on the source of the leak. Not only has it refused it speculate, it's actually refused to care. Despite widespread outrage, the White House declined to launch an internal investigation of the leak, with a Bush flak saying that it was "ridiculous" to suggest Rove was involved, and that "there has been absolutely nothing brought to our attention to suggest any White House involvement." I guess they don't get CNN on the cable system there. Needless to say, the prospect of the Bush Justice Department investigating a Bush political operative doesn't thrill Democrats, who have already called for an independent counsel investigation. Fortunately for Republicans, the party leadership cleverly disabused the nation about the worth of special prosecutors and impeachment proceedings a few years ago, when they hounded Bill Clinton into a constitutional crisis over blow jobs. Considering the mounting list of actual scandals the Bushies are racking up, that strategy is proving to be prescient. Most Americans are about as thrilled at the prospect of a special prosecutor as they are at the prospect of a root canal. In the meantime, just remember: don't cross Karl Rove. Whoops! We just did... dammit!"

Republicans: "Anti-gay by day, and gay-for-pay at night." Yes, I believe that would be called: liars and hypocrites ======== americablog.blogspot.com More on that Washington Post interview with Gannon by John in DC - 2/19/2005 07:09:00 AM I had to get up early today to go to an event, and boy that interview got my blood moving. 1. His past. The escort profiles soliciting clients are still live, Jeff. You say once something is on the Internet it's always there. We're talking about LIVE profiles you have up. They're only "always there" if you choose to leave them live. This is ridiculous. 2. We're "abandoning our principles" by going after you? Don't lecture me about principles, Mr. Anti-gay by day, and gay-for-pay at night. You worked for anti-gay bigots, sucked up to an anti-gay president, helped him get re-elected, and expect us to, what, thank you for it? 3. "Every day I learn about another site where there are allegedly pictures of me." Ok, see, here you're lying again Jeff in pure Clintonian style. What "other sites" are you talking about? I've posted links to 8 Web sites, all definitively linked to the same escort Jeff/Bulldog in DC. You're now giving quotes to the Washington Post suggesting that these sites are not yours. 4. Valerie Plame. You didn't have the document, you never saw the document, it was written about in the Wall Street Journal. Nice. But you never told Howard that the WSJ is how YOU knew about the doc. Sure, it was IN the WSJ, but is that how YOU found out? You never told Howie in the article that no one ever TOLD you about the document. Again, parsing parsing parsing. 5. Gannon could "sense" the attack on Iraq was coming? The person I interviewed said Gannon told them that the president was going to speak to the nation in four hours to announced we were attacking Iraq. Pretty damn good "sense" he's got - he even accurately predicted the exact time the president was going on TV. 6. "People criticize me for being a Christian." What? Clueless, clueless, clueless. The man has learned NOTHING over the past two weeks. He regrets nothing. And I was actually feeling sorry for him until now.
