Rove was the source of the Plame leak... so it appears

Neither Jeb nor Condi will be successful in '08 because they aren't running in '08 LOL.

How do you know? LOL

For those of us old enough to recall the Nixon era, things are starting to seem eerily familiar: An arrogant administration, an unpopular war, and a slowly building series of questions from the press that can't be brushed aside.

Nixon, too, looked invincible for a while...

The same way I knew your prediction that Kerry would win in a landslide was wishful thinking on your part.

And aren't there some familiar faces, too? http://www.nixoncenter.org/publications/Reality%20Check/010902Rove.htm

Talking of the Bush administration poll ratings:

The nation is split in terms of job approval with Bush having a meager 49%. His approval ratings are always hovering in the same figures this year despite the Republican hold on Congress.

The satisfaction ratings are even worse with only 42% declaring themselves satisfied, far from the 1999 Clinton administration's record breaking 71% satisfaction rating.

So Rove might prove to be a liability and while he might be a darn good political operator Republicans might not be able to afford the flack. As D'artagnan suggests, this administration is starting too look quite much like the Nixon one.

You have the law ... now tell me, what is the set of facts that apply to Valerie Plame that cause her to meet this definition of "covert agent"?

LOL Tico.. Your attempt at obfuscation is very transparent.

The fact that she was a covert agent has been stipulated by all the parties involved.

There would be no reason for a recusal by Ashcroft if she was not a covert agent. Fitzgerald would have no reason to call a GJ if there she was not a covert agent. The WH would not have made their comments if not for that fact. You can sit here and claim that you have no evidence all you want. The evidence is there for all but the blind to see.

Plame worked for a CIA cover company. ( Brewster Jennings & Associates, which was subsequently acknowledged by the CIA as a front.) She was overseas. She worked in the Counterproliferation Division. All of those facts can be found in various statements by government, CIA and other sources.

Lets look at this in a reasonable fashion Tico. Based on the above 3 facts being true how is she not covered under the law as stated?

It's disappointing that once again, so many Democrat leaders are taking their political cues from the far-left, Moveon wing of the party. The bottom line is Karl Rove was discouraging a reporter from writing a false story based on a false premise and the Democrats are engaging in blatant partisan political attacks.

If it were just about anyone else, Rove would have them out of sight very quickly and be creating diversionary attacks.

That white house briefing where Scott got minced is really the first of its kind in five years. That is significant.

Sounds about right.
