Here is what makes me totally uneasy about the Rove/Plame affair....

[Bullwinkle925]

That Bob Novak finds it within his 'comfort area' to pick up the phone and call Karl Rove to even ask him about this.
We all know it's a lie, - but, wouldn't it be sweet to have a reporter with some chutzpah to actually ask Scotty what that is all about?
To me, it portrays the familiarity between those 2 that would make Novak feel that he could 'count on Karl' to give him the straight dope! Now why would we want someone in Government with (supposedly)
top-level Security Clearance like a Karl Rove if he can't be trusted with any kind of information that he has at his fingertips?
On that alone - he should be OUSTED.

1. They have been buddies since way back.............

Poppy Bush fired Rove in the 90's, for being a leaker. And leaking to none other than Novak, how's that for in your face! These guys have a long term relationship.

5. I know! It just absolutely makes no sense. This is the most

'whacked-out' Administration that I've seen in my 55 years.
And the most 'whacked-out' public who seems to care less.:puke:

8. Why the public doesn't care

Ever hear of Imperial Rome (it followed Republican :) Rome)? Ever hear of bread and circuses? We've gone from MTV and NFL to internet porn and reality TV (is there a difference?) and fast foods.

Bread and circuses, by any name - keep the masses happy and stupid (plugged in) and you win every election.

11. Absolutely.

So - where are you planning on relocating?

:nuke:

12. I'm not going anywhere.

I like a good fight - especially for a just cause. I also don't mind watching hypocrites, liars and thieves exposed for what they are.

Declines and Falls have some great moments, and politically there are phoenixes. :)

And I should have put "win" in quotes, as in "win" every election.

2. well said

we gotta re_capture the white house and get novak rove and the rest of the merry band out of the public policy loop

3. Rove/Plame affair! You mean Karl and Valerie? Wow, this is big!

Hey, if Karl did it in the WH, then he should be impeached -- even though the chief of staff is not an impeachable officer. Finally, Rove did something that REPUBLICANS can see as a crime: an affair in the WH.

Oh, you just mean Karl's outing Plame as a CIA covert operative. Too bad! I'd hoped that it was something that could make this Congress act.

4. Maybe we'll get lucky and she become a vegetable...

We can tell them we'll put the feeding tube back in when Karl confesses.

7. Are you Mike Lewis? That name conjurs up memories for me.

Did you ever live in Augusta, Kansas?

[mikelewis]

9. I recieved a letter by mistake from Augusta, Kansas before....

No, I'm from Cleveland. It's a popular name.

[Bullwinkle925]

10. hmmmm

interesting - did you open the letter?
i often wonder what happened to the Mike Lewis i had known.

6. I'm with you there Bud.

Say - I notice that you live in Denton. I was there a few months ago checking out Robson Ranch. What's the statistics on Dems around there?
I had the most awful urge to slap everyone I saw and had difficulty
restraining myself.
