Karl Rove, Whistleblower
July 13, 2005; Page A14


Democrats and most of the Beltway press corps are baying for Karl Rove's head over his role in exposing a case of CIA nepotism involving Joe Wilson and his wife, Valerie Plame. On the contrary, we'd say the White House political guru deserves a prize -- perhaps the next iteration of the "Truth-Telling" award that The Nation magazine bestowed upon Mr. Wilson before the Senate Intelligence Committee exposed him as a fraud.

1. O.M.G!!!!! Someone is on the WH payroll

[rfranklin]

2. Exactly how did they expose Wilson as a fraud?

That's wishful, magical thinking.

3. Pretty typical for the WSJ. n/t

[SeveneightyWhoa]

4. HOLY SHI'ITE!

This is incredible.

I didn't realize Karl himself was a member of the WSJ editorial board.

[swag]

5. It's not shocking, coming from the mouthpiece of corporate totalitarianism

As I said elsewhere, I prefer the London Financial Times: like the Wall Street Journal, but for adults.

[dogday]

6. WSJ makes great toilet paper and bird cage liner

Rove is the liar. It looks like the WSJ has all the talking points of the Right.... The more they wail, the guiltier they look.


If you are ever out of toilet paper, this rag comes in handy.....

[MidnightWind]

7. The WSJ is a total GOP tool

yeah, it's infuriating but that's just the way that it is. It's why I don't read them! :evilgrin:

[redqueen]

8. Pretty much par for this tired mouthpiece for the right.

I wonder if this kind of completely ass-backward thinking will end up losing subscribers. One can hope.

[Swede]

9. Karl Rove- Whistleass

10. WTF???

Total bullshit.
That's all I have to say on that subject.

11. Signed, ken mehlman. n/t

[Mandate My Ass]

12. Get used to the new talking point

From the people who brought you "Vietnam vets are sissies and draft dodgers are heroes" we now have an encore of, "Traitors who undermine national security in wartime deserve a medal."

[suegeo]

13. Congressman King also thinks Rove deserves medal.

Catapulting the propaganda: First, the douche bag Gibson on Fox, next Congressman King (Fascist-New York), and now the WSJ call for Rove to get a reward, not punishment.

Here's what I heard about King last night on Scarborough's Nazi Country show

14. an excellent source

for the CARTOON WORLDVIEW :evilgrin:

15. Jaysus, how do they keep their head on with all that spinning?

[blm]

16. Roberts should testify to Fitzgerald HOW his report concluded Wilson lied.

The Senate Intel report set up straw men questions....LYING IN THE QUESTIONS...to spin Wilson's words into lies.

[MissB]

17. Why is it shocking?

It is the WSJ.

[LSK]

nowhere does Wilson claim Cheney sent him

Plame was NOT in the meetings where it was decided to send Wilson to Africa. She ONLY recommended him as a good person to investigate.

Also, if Rove was to warn Cooper, then he had to have known WHO Wilsons wife was.

Their lack of logic and ability to lie is mindboggling.

[Catherine Vincent]

18. The Wall Street Journal editorial board has always been

pro conservative republican. Had Karl Rove been a democrat, those aholes would have had a dozen editorials demanding that he resign and maybe a couple demanding he be prosecuted. Remember what they did to Vince Foster?

[kerry-is-my-prez]

19. what's scary is the it's the editorial staff - here's their e-mails:

20. Pardon me while I puke

That article was unadulterated horse excrement :puke: :puke: :puke:. The only award Rove deserves is whatever his cellmate gives him for being his "b*tch".

[KT2000]

21. Talking point proves guilt

the initial point of revealing Plame's was to discredit and smear Wilson.

The only rebuttal they have for leaking her name is to escalate the smear campgain against Wilson.
Why would they think this is a good strategy?

[Stirk]

22. Talking points. Nothing but RNC talking points.

[Liberal In Texas]

23. Yes sir, got your talking points right here...talking points...get 'em

while they're hot...
