I’ve been pretty out of the news blogging thing for about a week now, since I was on vacation. However, I have one question that may, or may not, have been ignored in the ‘sphere (I have only heard one person ask this on tv, so far): Who gave Valerie Plame’s name to Robert Novak?
That is something that people have seemed to skip over. Was it Rove? Novak is the person who should be focused on. Did Rove say the same thing to Novak that he said to Cooper?
I’m all for letting the Dems go after this non-story. Plame was not an undercover CIA agent operating in a foreign country. Furthermore, though I cannot find confirmation (yet) of this, supposedly Joe Wilson identified Valerie’s name on his own webpage before the report came out from Novak and Cooper. Joe Wilson is a confirmed liar. And now the Dems want to pull their "guilty until proven innocent" act. Too bad Rove isn’t a pedopheliac mass murderer. Then the Dems would have his back.
This is just another "booga booga" issue for the Dems. Nothing they have tried has worked. They are even forgetting their "issue that is going to toast Bush," ie, the Downing Street Memo’s. They truly are sad and misguided.
I’ve got lots of questions:
(1) Why wasn’t Wilson asked to sign the SOP confidentiality agreement if he went down for the CIA?
(2) Could a Democrat have been the contact for Judith Miller?
(3) Do Dems really fear Rove so much that they want him out of the White House?
(4) Did it ever occur to Dems that an out-of-work Rove might start working on the campaign for the next Republican President?
That’s enough for now…anybody have answers?
As to 3, they have been, and are, deathly afraid of Rove, but 4, libs never think ahead. when it came to the Downing Street Memo’s, they never realized that if GWB was gone, we would have president Cheney.
