6. Good point,
The cockroaches ran for cover, so they were surprised.

And you can understand why they wouldn't want the leak of the CIA memo on Plame connected to their shill.

2. I'm glad I'm not the only one
I posted yesterday at Raw Story about my curiosity regarding this very point. Are we looking at the guy that will end up taking the fall for Plame investigation? Nothing that this admin will fail to amaze me anymore, there must be a Rove behind it.

3. No. This one is a pure fuckup. How do I know? It's got a

sex angle to it. I've already seen a split-screen with bush*s head on the right, jimjeff gannon's on the left and the anchor doing a voice over about gay websites. A sex scandal is the ONLY thing they can't handle/don't want.

EDIT: The split-screen was on my LOCAL news too.

4. A hack "journalist"...

...using a pseudonym and getting within throwing distance of the President would never be a red herring. It would be a serious breach of security no matter who was in the White House. With all due respect, eek, I think that we should ease up on suspecting that everything is a Rove move. Suspecting Rove of everything is itself starting to seem like faling for a red herring.

5. It's a cover for Cheny outing Valerie Plame.
Let the gay guy take the bullet.

9. Agree. Plames the real story. Gay, blogs, liberals are all smokescreens.
I've heard MSM mention everying regarding this story EXCEPT the Plame outing. That's their only real concern, and everything and everyone else is exendable.

If Gannon starts to weaken the roots of the idea that liberals are hunting him has already been planted. (Although why liberals would want to kill someone who is so obviously an albatross around the neocons neck is beyond me.)

That's why he was so nervous and shifty eyed during Blitzers interview yesterday. He knows he's on thin ice.

10. I hope the fit's hitting the shan for real this time.

Don't think my poor heart can stand to be broken again.

Must admit a little optimism in that there are so many of these stories starting to finally link up and overlap even in JQP's perception.

hopeihopeihope


thanks for the pep-talks folks!
