FRIST + BOLTON = ROVE DISTRACTION

[UDenver20]

Had a very interesting discussion at work today about Frist being a distraction from Plamegate. It would make sense that Bolton is the #2 punch. Any ideas on what #3 will be?

Keep the heat on, people...

Don't let the MSM get distracted, either. Now is the time to Email, call, Blog, and write...

1. Welcome to DU UDenver20

Nice catch, it makes sense now.

2. Roberts was punch #1.

And I agree, Bolton was #2.

I think Frist was just Frist, much ado about nothing.

on edit: Oh yes. Welcome to DU!!!
:hi:

3. The appointment of Roberts will be #3. You have it backward..

Rove is the distraction for the others. He will be another Ollie North and walk with immunity.

[longship]

5. Right!!

You got me on that one.
:rofl:

4. Welcome to DU! ... John Roberts and more to come...

:hi:

We can handle 'em all at the same time. ;)

6. Rove is innocent and told the truth.

Novak Defends Actions in CIA Leak

(AP)

Columnist Robert Novak broke his silence Monday about his disclosure of an undercover CIA operative's identity, defending himself against a former agency official's account that he twice warned Novak not to publish the name.

In his syndicated column, Novak did not dispute that former CIA spokesman Bill Harlow told him he should not print the covert officer's name, Valerie Plame, during conversations they had prior to Novak's July 14, 2003 column.

But Novak reasserted that no CIA official ever told him in advance "that Valerie Plame Wilson's disclosure would endanger her or anybody else."

....

Novak, whose role in the investigation is unknown, has been silent on the series of events he set in motion. But he wrote about it Monday, saying he was ignoring his lawyers' advice because Harlow's account is "so patently incorrect and so abuses my integrity as a journalist."
