It's not Rove's Obit, it is George W. Bush's. And with him goes the Fanatic Wing of the GOP. And the dreams of Rapture-ites world wide.
Posted by T2 at October 11, 2005 04:25 PMRest in Purgatory, Rove. I dance on your grave, and pour hydrochloric acid in it just to be sure. I will personally arrange to have an 18 ton boulder placed on your grave.
“You can always tell how disliked a person was by how large and heavy their grave marker is” – common Victorian saying.
Yawn....
Despite all this false fabrication by jealous leftists, Republicans will still keep winning. Why?
Because they don't have to be that good. They just have to be better than the Dumbocrats (which they still are).

Why would anyone be jealous of incompetent, egocentric, myopic, immoral, unscrupulous, incredibly stupid piles of steaming dog turd? And those are the positive points of the Repugs.
Posted by tempus at October 11, 2005 04:49 PMDems are dumb? Gee, one could make that statement about the den of thieves in the White House who have cleverly manipulated themselves into a set of indictments, it seems.
Let's talk about dumb, after these bottom feeders are behind bars, shall we?

Posted by Liberals are dabomb at October 11, 2005 04:58 PMI pick this; do not remember where I saw this but it is better put together that I could ever achieve. Here it is.
To repeat, we are dealing with an addictive personality that satisfies its daily physiological requirement with endorphin highs supplied by compulsive exercise and supplants its mental fixation on alcohol with a fixation on simplistic notions of god, Jesus, and reality. I must confess the revelation of hallucinations in which he actually hears the voice of god speaking to him is news to me, but not surprising news.
Given that the subject of such hallucinations are generated from bits and pieces of daily experience and his daily experience consists of input only from his nefarious ideological associates, we and the world are in deep doo doo.
This administration will end us all.
Now they will deny it.
What will be interesting is whether other reporters heard from Scooter in June, or whether everybody else had to wait until after the Wilson op-ed.
My money says Judy was special, and that the June meeting was qualitatively different from the later attempts to spread the word. I've always thought that Judy was, to some extent, in on the conspiracy.
Some points to keep in mind.
1) The UN found out before the Iraq War started that at least some of the Iraq/Niger documents were bogus.
2) In March, after the UN discredited the Iraq/Niger connection, Joe Wilson was privately complaining about the 16 famous words in Bush's State of the Union Speech since it was now obvious that was the connection that Bush and the British were referring to.
3) In late May or early June, Nicholas Kristof of the NY Times wrote a column that appeared to have Joe Wilson as one of its sources for the belief by CIA analysts and other experts that evidence for WMDs had been deliberately exaggerated.
4) Condi Rice in early June of 2003 was already claiming that the information that the Iraq/Niger connection was probably false was "lost in the bowels of the agency" (not sure about exact quote but that's the essence of it).
5) At some point between Rice's comment and the appearance in the NY Times of Joe Wilson's article in early July, Wilson probably contacted the NY Times about wanting to do the article. This has always raised speculation about whether Judith Miller knew such an article was forthcoming from Wilson. In June of 2003, she was still aggressively pursuing the WMD story to the point of damaging her own credibility.
6) In early June, the State Department had the famous memo that mentions Mrs. Wilson's connection to Mr. Wilson (sounds absurd when put that way but this whole episode has been bizarre!). There has always been the question of who ordered this State Dept. memo and who provided the information on Mrs. Wilson which interestingly was somewhat inaccurate (though the memo emphatically pointed out that Mrs. Wilson's identity was not to be revealed). This is where some people are suspicious of the relationship between Judith Miller and John Bolton.
7) This is all interesting as far as Judith Miller is concerned, but the focus should stay on Rove and Libby who together are more than capable of the arrogance, recklessness, smearing and chicanery that is the real heart of this story. In the end, Judith Miller is a sideshow.
I don't know where the rest of this melange by anonymous is from, but this is mine:

moonbat - the list of those in on the conspiracy to take the country to war based on known false information is a long one. Corporate Media ownership being in the lead. Clear Channel banning the Dixie Chicks, etc. Geez, even the Senate Dems went along, fearing loss of votes if they didn't appear "warlike" enough. WaPo, the NYT were there all along. Everybody wanted a piece of Regime Change. Except millions worldwide and millions in the USA. They were ignored by their representatives and the GOP Media.
Joe Wilson stepped up, lets not forget that. And from the start, Joe Wilson said Karl ROVE was the trigger man. Joe Wilson knew what and who, and his wife knew it also. FItz knows it now.
Someone pinch me, I must be dreaming.
Posted by Judith at October 11, 2005 06:36 PMI'll say it again, Joe Wilson is a hero. Me thinks they picked the wrong person to get revenge on, never dreaming that this one man would help bring the house of cards down.
Posted by Judith at October 11, 2005 06:44 PMI'm waiting for news of the first Republican to rat on the others in either the Plamegate or the Abrahamoff investigation. That is when the shit is going to hit the fan and we can really start having some fun. Once their tribal unity breaks down, the GOP will go into meltdown mode, and I intend to enjoy every second of it.
Posted by global yokel at October 11, 2005 06:45 PMHere's the latest rumor mongering.
It could include Cheney.
Huffington Post:
The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg are working on stories that point to Vice President Dick Cheney as the target of special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald's investigation into the leaking of CIA operative Valerie Plame's name.

Posted by mikevotes at October 11, 2005 07:06 PMAhh.. 3 years and 3 months more of Bush. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.
Iraq and Afghanistan will continue to prosper, despite the attempts of racist leftists to prevent brown people from being free.
Hardworking people will be able to keep more of their own money, rather than be forced to support lazy, dumb liberals.
Good people will be placed on the Supreme Court.
Anti-American leftists will continue to be frustrated.
Ah... 39 more months to savor this.
And after that, another predictable GOP victory over the Dumbocrats (or should we call them Homocrats?)..
Beating them in elections is easy....
Posted by Liberals are Dumb at October 11, 2005 07:23 PMTempus,
I see that namecalling and personal attacks are the extent of your debating skills. Well, I see little else from low-IQ liberals.
If name-calling is your game, I shall start calling you a faggot from now on. But I don't stoop to your level. We just beat you in elections by watching you alienate normal people.
Tee hee...
Posted by Liberals are Dumb at October 11, 2005 07:37 PMLook at bright side if no one gets indicted all you progressive minds can gone for weeks about how the fix was in and they threatend Fitgerald and they made him drop all prosecution.
Posted by luckyme at October 11, 2005 07:40 PMIsn't the mental infantilism of the Right simply stunning?
I mean, what must it be like to be trapped in a brain like those on display above? The horror....

Be sure to say that as often as possible to as many people as possible.
Note that the Democrats often support what the treasonous left hates, such as :
Patriot Act - Voted 98-1 in the Senate
John Roberts - Voted 78-22 in the Senate
Iraq War - Vogted 78-22 In the Senate
Tax Cuts of 1997 - Voted 92-6 in the Senate
Explain that if you are so smart....
tee hee.

People like LAD who live in a pre Katrina world are going to be shock when they see that the world that they understand doesn't exist anymore.

this from someone who signs his posts as "Liberals are dumb." Hypocrisy knows no limits among the Republicans.
Posted by ann at October 11, 2005 08:28 PMPeople, people, please -- are we really going to engage in any kind of conversation with a Kool-aid-quaffing halfwit who goes by the name of "Liberals are dumb"?
DON'T FEED THE TROLLS -- let 'em eat their own shit. They've developed quite a taste for it recently.
Posted by Shecky Green at October 11, 2005 08:40 PMIf Fitzgerald is waiting to see who flips first, we should immediately lower our expectations.
The right wingers learned the lesson of Watergate: follow the Mafia Model. Keep your mouth shut, you and your family are taken care of forever. If you stick around long enough and keep quiet, you will get a job in the next adminstration, or maybe a lucrative radio gig. If you make one move toward talking, you and everyone you care about will be destroyed.
And the corporate press/media will make sure that any charges or evidence against the right wingers go down the memory hole, while the smears against those who talked become adjectives that are permanently attached to the name.
And the American people? Too apathetic, too ignorant and too self-absorbed to remember anything more than a week old.

At the time, Donahue was canceled despite having the highest-rated cable show in his time slot for no other reason than that he supported the war.
Posted by benjoya at October 12, 2005 06:45 AM"opposed" he opposed the war. ok, back to caffeine.
Posted by benjoya at October 12, 2005 06:46 AMand to clarify, he didn't have the highest ratings because he opposed the war (although that's possible); he was canceled because he opposed the war. i guess the real americans showed us, huh?
"six days, six weeks, certainly not six months"
-GFY Cheney on how long the war would last.
