Larry Johnson is giving Sat Morning Dem Radio Address
<snip>

I voted for George Bush in November of 2000 because I was promised a President who would bring a new tone and a new ethical standard to Washington.

So where are we? The President has flip-flopped on his promise to fire anyone at the White House implicated in a leak. We now know from press reports that at least Karl Rove and "Scooter" Libby are implicated in these leaks and may have lied during the investigation.

Instead of a President concerned first and foremost with protecting this country and the intelligence officers who serve it, we are confronted with a President who is willing to sit by while political operatives savage the reputations of good Americans like Valerie and Joe Wilson.

This is wrong and this is shameful.

We deserve people who work in the White House who are committed to protecting classified information, telling the truth to the American people, and living by example the idea that a country at war with Islamic extremists cannot focus its efforts on attacking other American citizens who simply tried to tell the truth.

I am Larry Johnson.

1. I remember when Larry Johnson used to shill for the Fraudministration.....
....on FAUX News. What a difference a few years makes. Probably because he was in the same class in the CIA academy as Valerie Plame.

7. Yes, that's where I saw Johnson too, on Faux. Not a liberal or Dem
partisan, although no doubt now that's how he'll be portrayed by the slimemeisters if they take aim at him too.

6. I saw his testimony on C-Span. He was great.
He said how he had been a registered republican all his life but that he was outraged at how Bush was turning this vital issue into a partisan political issue and discrediting American intelligence worldwide at the same time.

10. Whatever. Freepers need to get real.
He testified under oath. The rest of the CIA agents did also.

16. Hi Rainscents! ...Hi Erika!
:hi: :hi:

BTW.. I hope the networks (and not just C-Span) play the entire Democratic response!! With Rovegate getting so hot n' heavy, you'd think that having a former CIA Agent responding to Bush would be pretty damned newsworthy.

Guess we'll see.. :shrug:

19. LOL,most likely wiped the floor with Hannity over Iraq like everyone else.
Get Hannity into any situation where he can't talk over the other person,hang up,or pull the plug and you can out debate his ass every time.

Actor Mike Farrell DESTROYED Hannity over Iraq on his own radio show....

18. He was on Faux, but he wasn't really a RW hack.
If I remember, Hannity got pissed off when he said US could not fight a war in Afghanistan and Iraq at same time.
