I've never called Roberts a chimp! It's Bush that seems to have some chimp genetics, not Roberts. Your real reason for not hanging around is you can't logically defend Israel's policy RE the Palestinians, and as a dual-loyalty American Jew you feel bound to do so.

Right. And you would never, ever dream of insulting people in lieu of actually saying anything rational, would you, Mike? Sort of reminds me of the current party line that poor Karl Rove is the victim of a political smear campaign. Enjoy your time with LindyBill's toadies, maybe you could invite the precious one to join you there.

Report: Bloomberg to reveal Rove, Libby gave false testimony

07/21/2005 @ 7:09 pm

Bloomberg News has slotted a story alleging that senior Bush advisor Karl Rove and Vice President Dick Cheney's Chief of Staff 'Scooter' Libby provided false testimony to the special prosecutor to a Washington-based grand jury, RAW STORY has been told.

Patrick Fitzgerald, the Chicago special prosecutor appointed to investigate the outing of former covert agent Valerie Plame Wilson, may also be looking at whether other crimes -- such as perjury, obstruction of justice or leaking classified information -- were committed.

It's breaking tonight or tomorrow AM, sources say. Bloomberg has been among the head of the pack in breaking elements of the CIA leak scandal; they recently hired former Wall Street Journal editor Al Hunt.

The story dovetails with an account provided by investigative blogger journalist Murray Waas earlier this week.

"White House deputy chief of staff Karl Rove did not disclose that he had ever discussed CIA officer Valerie Plame with Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper during Rove's first interview with the FBI, according to legal sources with firsthand knowledge of the matter," Waas wrote.

"The omission by Rove created doubt for federal investigators, almost from the inception of their criminal probe into who leaked Plame's name to columnist Robert Novak," he continues, "as to whether Rove was withholding crucial information from them, and perhaps even misleading or lying to them, the sources said."

"Also leading to the early skepticism of Rove's accounts was the claim that although he first heard that Plame worked for the CIA from a journalist, he said could not recall the name of the journalist," Waas added. "Later, the sources said, Rove wavered even further, saying he was not sure at all where he first heard the information."
