And then there was one
So after years of smears, lies, dodges,and a felony conviction, the Republican response to the Plame outing comes down to one simple question...."does anyone have any proof that they knew Plame was covert"? That's it. That's all they have left. And to listen to the few Republicans who cared to show up, that is the only question that matters. I can see why they all gave Bush a free ride for 6 years. The Republicans looked like clowns today. The got nuthin'. The next couple of years will be very informative with a caring Congress looking for answers.

1. "I didn't know Plame was covert."
That's kind of like a pedophile saying "I swear to God, I didn't know she was only six."

2. It's useless arguing with them. The woman testified, under oath, she
was covert, and Hayden backed her up.

They just can't face reality.

3. Doesn't matter if they knew she was covert.
They had a procedure to follow to make sure. They were told not to do it.

4. These are the same people who believe the earth is only 6000 years old
All the evidence in the world won't convince them that Plame was covert.

5. I thought it was so telling when Hodes (sp) asked if it wasn't
simply a matter of administrative concern that information was inappropriately leaked and then was denied by everyone concerned. In essence he was asking, out of a simple need for administrative control and clarity why wasn't an internal investigation conducted, if for nothing else to look at how the WH operates. All he got were dumb, blank stares...

6. Well, looks like the GOP's plan of attack now
Edited on Fri Mar-16-07 05:29 PM by Robbien
is to get the media to tell Democrats that Dems will look silly if they have too many of these type of investigations.

So since GOP attacks are all about projection, you are right. Even GOPers feel they did look like clowns today. A big bunch of loser clowns.
