1. Let us know what he says.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

2. Tom Becka is saying "I'm only going to get about 10 minutes with the man"

...and "he wants to talk about Social Security."

So we'll see what's going to happen.

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

GOP fundraiser Rove is going to later.

[HR_Pufnstuf]

11. HE'S ON

nt

[HR_Pufnstuf]

5. geez

this radio hosts's pauses are killing me.

whatta joke.



he says Rove is late and hasnt called him yet.

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

7. Yea, I thought maybe we were only hearing half

of a conversation.

And then when he talks sometimes he talks really, really fast.

Voice training?

[norml]

8. Turd Blossom may be a no show.

Karl's Chicken!

[Moochy]

6. three minutes late :)

He said he's going to ask him about the Plame Affair .. he's not called yet. Host is giddy with anticipation.

He said he just gave a speech in Omaha to Ameritrade.

Now he's saying someone got to Rove and warned him lol.
This guy is almost coherent.

The media is not allowed to attend the Ameritrade fundraiser.

[norml]

12. He's on!

I smell Turd Blossom!

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

10. Becka on Social Security private accounts:

"I LOVE THAT IDEA!"

Oh, THIS should be a GREAT interview.

[norml]

14. I called in earlier about the bombings in London, so I've used up my call

for today. I spoke of the importance of accurate intelligence, rather than phonied up intelligence used to push a PNAC agenda.

[dubyaD40web]

13. Becka is a RW hack

He was in K.C. for a couple of years and left.

[norml]

16. So call in and correct him.

That's something you can do with the local shows, unlike the scripted shill "callers" you get with the syndicated right wing media whores, where you have no chance of getting on the air.

[tandem5]

15. some of his best friends are democrats!

:puke:

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

17. SO...Bush treats his opponents with dignity and respect.

"If someone had classified information, and KNOWINGLY distributed that information...(DRAMATIC PAUSE)...THAT'S a PROBLEM."

Jesus.

:grr:

[norml]

20. Turd Blossom used the "KNOWINGLY" word.

That's what his whole defense will rest on, that one word.

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

25. Turd Blossom is so appropro

for Rove.

[flpoljunkie]

32. And is Dubya's nickname for him, no less.

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

34. W has a talent for nicknames

I wonder if he really knows how appropriate that name is.

[flpoljunkie]

37. I think Dubya thinks the dirty work that Karl does for him is harmless fun

you know, just politics.

[The Night Owl]

18. Rove used "knowingly"

Rove said that someone "knowingly" leaking classified information would be a problem.

Obviously, the White House is going to protect the person who leaked Plame's identity by claiming that he or she did not knowingly leak Plame's identity. Hopefully, Fitzgerald can prove otherwise.

Rove said he wouldn't comment on the Plame investigation. He is sounding more and more like a defendant.

[warrens]

36. Ignorance of the law is no defense

Particularly since Georgie's daddy wrote the damn thing. And lying to a Grand Jury is even worse.

[leftynyc]

39. Sounds like an admission of guilt to me

being ignorant of the law is no defense and I'm surprised he let himself be caught that way.

[flpoljunkie]

19. Turd Blossom very careful here to say "knowingly" reveal CIA operative.

The f*cker is guilty as sin!

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

21. Questions?

Rove still trying to sell voluntary personal accounts.

My comment: The problem is it still takes money and increases overall risk if people can do that.

Deficit: Rove claims they will cut the national deficit in half by 2009. Tries to blame Clinton.


My comment: Has to be lying about Clinton's budget.

Rove: Claims they're cutting the deficit. Claims 3.3 million jobs were created in last 2 or 3 months.

Rove Claims fastest growing economy in industrial economy.

Rove Claims dramatic declines from what deficit was forecast.

Rove says we need impartial umpire as Supreme Court Justice.

My comment: ROFLOL

Host: Valerie Plame?

Host: Ends Justify Means?

Rove: Oh absolutely not. Best campaign it is clear, message is clear.

My comment: He says "clear", not true.

Rove: Some of my best friends are Democrats.

My comment:Haha!

Rove claims W never says bad stuff about others, nor do his people.

My comment:Lies!!

Rove: will not comment on the outing of Plame, claims his lawyers advised him not to. Finally says that it is a "serious" matter.

[pdurod1]

22. Becka show

On path to cut deficit. fluff talking points.
Farm bill stuff, 9/11 reference, inherited deficit, more fluff
another 9/11 ref, record number of people working since 9/11
Supreme court appointments. Evaded Rowe V Wade
Plame Case, evaded, has democrat friends, a professor
just made a hypocritical statement about bad-mouthing opponents (might be our friends sometime later)
Plame again, no comment

[The Night Owl]

29. Considering that Rove would not talk about the Plame case...

I thought Becka did really well interviewing Rove.

[norml]

23. Someone needs to call Tom, and point out Rove's use of the word

"KNOWINGLY"

[flpoljunkie]

24. Tom is evidently a little slow.

[Moochy]

26. wow he's mad at right wingers

The host sounds pissed at his right winger idiots calling him on his "true colors"

[norml]

30. He does a "Libertarian" thing, where he supports most of the RNC/GOP

agenda, but not all of it.

He lets me on the air from time to time, so I call in.

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

27. Thanks for the tip!

One doesn't often get to hear turd incarnated in a radio interview.

[Imagevision]

28. What's he going to say" he didn't "knowingly" out anyone??

Rove; " Valerie Plane is fair game" said to Chris mathews...

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

31. Everything they do is done knowingly

Especially Rove. Which means W would know.

[norml]

33. You got it! That's his whole defense. Here's my E-Mail to Becca...

Tom

As I said in my previous e-mail, Karl Rove's whole defense will rest on the meaning of the word "Knowingly"

[skip fox]

35. But what did he "knowingly" do? He was leader of an illegal conspiracy!!!

There were at least 6 initial calls and 2 different callers, which means Rove likely coordinated it, conspired within it, etc., and was perhaps a primary source himself. It also means there will be more than one indictment of the administration's top officials. Read on.

Rational for the numbers:

The situation strongly implies that there were at least 2 different primary sources (since Matt Cooper's specifically released him, but Judith Miller's apparently did not do the same for her) and reason maintains there were at least 6 initial calls (the 6 reporters contacted: Robert Novak, Cooper, Miller, and 3 others), and 3 follow-up calls (Novak, Miller, Cooper). This is the minimum.



Scenario:

In order to make sure the story leaked properly, discrediting Wilson's Niger yellow-cake findings by implying he and his wife, Valerie Plame, had an agenda against the president from the beginning one person would have to coordinate the calling. (Of course he could have made calls as well.) Neither of the 2 or more should call the other's initial contact (that would seem too eager, perhaps a dirty trick). In addition, 4-5 others would have to know the story was true in order to confirm it, and they had to be encouraged to do so.

Who better than the master of such odious activity, Karl Rove? Perhaps Cheney (who would have felt responsibility in such a matter since it was the behest of his office that the CIA sent Wilson to Niger) used his clearance to discover this information and brought it to Rove at a meeting of the White House Iraq Group (see snippy's beautiful post in DU, link at bottom of this post). Then Rove would go into high gear, doing what he does best (I mean worst). He coordinated the callings, made sure there were the requisite secondary sources ready and willing to confirm (perhaps each having different details or a different slant).

Therefore, Rove may well be both a conspirator (a little RICO, anybody?), and the leaker of illegal information, AND we may have at least one other indictment handed down. Think of the possibilities! Rice, Cheney, Libby, Hughes (why the hell did she retire before?), Matalin, etc. Maybe even W. (But the more I think about it, I wonder how many real reporters wouldn't be suspicious of a call from Rove? He might be the primary source for the likes of Novak, but few others.)

But think about the above and then read snippy's lovely item backed up by a Washington Post article:
