Dean: Rove betrayed identity of one "fighting on the front lines"..

[madfloridian]

"Karl Rove and his high priced lawyers might disagree, but the truth is Rove betrayed the identity of an undercover officer fighting on the front lines in the war on terror. These actions are particularly egregious in a time of war," said Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean. "President Bush should demonstrate his commitment to the war on terror by holding his own people accountable. It is disturbing that this high ranking Bush Advisor is not only still working in the White House, but now has a significant role in setting our National Security policy."

DNC press release today with Dean's most excellent statement:

No way Shrub will let the good ole boy network fail.

[roguevalley]

12. now, with zell miller stealing money, these two -rove and miller-

can share a cell.

[EC]

10. I have noticed today that the RW pundits have given up on

saying Plame was just a clerk for the CIA...one spin down...

[Shredr]

11. Yes!

But will anything happen?

[JohnnyBoots]

perjury is my guess, Rove has already testified 3X to the GJ

[JohnnyBoots]

24. perjury is my guess, Rove has already testified 3X to the GJ

[xxqqqzme]

13. Wonder if they know what

'egregious' means?

Howard uses that word often when talking about rethugs.

[madfloridian]

28. I do love that word.

I don't think they even know they have been insulted.

[Larkspur]

30. Since they haven't asked Dean to apologize for it, then no they don't know

what it means. </sarcasm>

[skids]

14. clever.

I won't spell out why longhand, for fear of lurking freepers. But think of Deans statement as a target, locate the bullseye, and ask what happens when the right wing shoots it.

[madfloridian]

15. Thinking along the same lines.

They would do best to leave it alone...methinks. So well-worded.

[skids]

16. Ah, but how can they resist.

...they've been on everything Dean says like so many shitflies.

[XemaSab]

17. There's a lot of rope there...

enough rope to do quite a bit of hanging.

(metaphorically, mods, metaphorically!)

[sonias]

19. Dean speaks for me!

I just love Howard!

[bklyncowgirl]

21. Rove betrayed the identity of an undercover officer ...."

"fighting on the front lines in the war on terror."

This has to be the drumbeat. Getting lost in the legal nitpicking of whether Rove actually said her name, or what Plame's status was at the time she was outed just muddies up the water which is exactly what Bushco wants.

I'd ask one more question.

"What did the President know and when did he know it?"

[Larkspur]

29. And that is a stake being driven into the heart of the Vampire -- Bush

Admin, whose only poll number strength is in the "War on terror."

[susu369]

22. Woo hoo

Love Dean.

:loveya:

[Totally Committed]

23. Keep speaking the truth, Howard!

"These actions are particularly egregious in a time of war," -- you betcha!

Thanks for posting this... it gives me hope.

[burythehatchet]

25. I believe Howard Dean should apologize

for questioning Dear Leader's judgment.

[WLKjr]

26. Fuck That!

lol, I sure hope that was a sarcastic remark!

[JNelson6563]

27. Take it to 'em Howard!

Rock on my man! :toast:

[kwolf68]

31. Damn

And to think at one time I wasn't a fan of Howard Dean ... This dude rules.

[warrens]

32. Kerry and Clinton said much the same

I don't think this one is going away.

[madfloridian]

33. Rush's response to this...stumbling over his own tongue.

Rush: "The left in this country succeeded, basically in neutering the CIA in a whole number of ways: limiting their ability to hire certain people as operatives and agents, limiting where they can go, what they can do. It's legion. Now all of a sudden Howard Dean issued a statement and said that this woman is "compromised." She was "on the front lines in the war on terror." What war on terror? I didn't think there was a legitimate war on terror according to Howard Dean and the Democrats. I thought we gave up the war on terror when we went into Iraq. I thought the war on terror ended in Afghanistan. Now they're concerned about the war on terror and they're concerned about the CIA --- and it ain't flying here."

Sorry, Rush, even your caller disagreed with you. Don't you even care about those connected to her? Honestly, Rush, you are not even convincing anymore.
