Public Catching On To Dirty Deeds
http://www.niagarafallsreporter.com/gallagher222.html

DETROIT -- Lying and denying, kicking and screaming, the Busheviks are defending comrade Karl Rove from the enemies of the state who are attacking him. We now have the "smoking gun" evidence that Rove was involved in the sordid scheme to "out" CIA officer Valerie Plame.

Retribution, a quintessential Rove political weapon, brought him to expose Plame and risk national security in the process to get back at her husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, for telling the truth about George W. Bush's phony claims that Saddam Hussein was shopping for enriched uranium. Wilson debunked the bogus story that Iraq was seeking the nuclear material in Niger. That was a body blow for the Busheviks, who had worked so diligently to "fix" intelligence and build the lies to justify the invasion of Iraq.

A few weeks ago, when Rove claimed liberals coddled terrorists and wanted to provide them "therapy," I offered a few thoughts about the deputy White House chief of staff, the president's "brain," and designer of his political career.

I wrote, "Karl Rove is the most vile, despicable, duplicitous, power-addicted, warmongering, lying neo-fascist in the administration, save Dick Cheney and the man who lets them run the government for him."

<snip>

As the reporters grilled him, you know McClellan was thinking "God, where is Jeff Gannon when I really need him?"

...more...

2. What a great rant!
"Where is Jeff Gannon when I really need him?"

Do read the whole article. It's all as good as the excerpt here.

5. HNV IS CORRECT
I took the advice, read the article and it is DEAD-ON. Karl Rove figured out how to fool the people INDEED.

3. Given all the research done on the PLAME threads....
I suspect that Karl didn't even KNOW how deep the evil went when the Powers That Be turned him loose on Valerie Plame.

I only wish the American people had access to the information about what their government is REALLY doing.

6. Great article. Touched on many points.
I liked this part:

"Rove and George W. Bush are actually not ideologues. They really don't believe in anything but power and money. They have created a political empire based on a seamless garment of greed. Greed feeds the power. Power feeds the greed.


I wish more people realized this... We got a lemon. Sure, he seemed nice, affable, not too dangerous (in 2000), etc... but NOT! You didn't get what you thought you were buying--you got a lemon. Fundamentally flawed and broken (not to mention criminal), and does not perform as promised and expected. We need a replacement.

11. Lemon President (Yellow & Sour)
I like that. And what do you do when you get a Lemon? You recall it and get it off the road for everybody's safety...

8. The last part is the most telling and significant
snip

Bush's personal credibility is plunging. An NBC/Wall Street Journal poll shows the percentage of people who believe Bush is "honest and straightforward" fell to 41 percent from 50 percent in January.

But why has it taken so long for the American people to catch on? And why do so many still buy the big lies?

snip

Why, indeed.

9. wow this is one hard hitting reporter
"Rove's most sinister deed, so far, is the creation of George W. Bush as a marketable and successful political product. Rove made this turd blossom and the results for our nation and the world are catastrophic."

snip
Rove and George W. Bush are actually not ideologues. They really don't believe in anything but power and money. They have created a political empire based on a seamless garment of greed. Greed feeds the power. Power feeds the greed.

heavy heavy words. Kudos to the truth teller

12. This article is dead on!
What a perfect description of the 'veneral disease' that is Karl Rove. The reporter captures perfectly the role that Rove has played in the total destruction of the republican party, and of America.

Bush and Rove's relationship is sick and twisted. I pray every night for an end to this nightmare that is the Bush Admin.
