Fox's John Gibson outdoes himself again
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,162713,00.html

Just when you think Gibson has totally lost it, he cranks it up another notch. Anyone catch his latest "My Word" segment? Well he decides he wants to drag Sandy Berger into all of this, and suggests that somehow what Berger did was worse. He kind of loses it int he middle though. A link to the text is above. Here's all you need to read.

"Even the sainted Amb. Joe Wilson (search) has now admitted his wife was not in a covert status when Karl Rove explained to a Time magazine reporter it wasn't Dick Cheney who sent Wilson off to Niger, but that it was Wilson's wife. She recommended him, telling her bosses he had loads of contacts in Africa.

So Wilson comes back and says no reason to think Saddam wanted to build a nuke bomb out of Nigerian yellow cake — the uranium you need for a bomb.

Evidently, Bush and Cheney didn't believe him. Neither did the Select Committee investigating pre-war intelligence. They said Wilson was wrong and didn't tell the truth — could you say lied — about who sent him to Africa.

But, oh no, sorry Valerie Plame (search) is a CIA agent with covert status. Can't tell the country she was the one who set her husband up to go tank a report on a key question leading up to the war.

No, no no. She's a spook you see. She only acts like a political hack trying to pull strings on national policy from behind a curtain."


I wish I saw this live, as I picture Gibson talking to himself against a wall hysterically impersonating other people's voices.

1. I want a Fox Blocker for my TV
Just not watching Fox is not enough anymore. I want to live in a world where FOx does not exist.

2. Is there a single grain of truth in anything this "man" says?
All I see is spin, distortion and outright lies. :puke:

3. In an earlier segment he said that Rove had cajones for exposing her...
now he's saying that she wasn't covert, so there's nothing to expose. Can this asshole just pick one story and stick with it?

4. Isn't there one CIA Agent left that is outraged?
Did they purge &/or silence them all?

5. Wilson didn't say she wasn't covert
Edited on Fri Jul-15-05 10:43 PM by RedSox02
Yeah the AP already issued a correction. Wilson never meant that his wife was not covert. He won't mention when she was or wasn't covert. David Gregory apparently nailed Kay Bailey Hutchinson good on Rove pleading ignorance, asking her if it would probably be a good idea to check and know the status of the person you are exposing first before actually outing her. You shouldn't be claiming ignorance on it.
