Now they are using the reasoning that although Rove did tell Matt Cooper
that "Wilson's wife" was a CIA operative, he never actually used the name
"Valerie Plame". Wolf Blitzer as well as Rove's lawyer have said this.

Well, I guess that clears that up. And here we thought Rove had done
something illegal by outing a CIA operative. Obviously, saying that
Wilson's wife is an undercover agent is not the same as using her name,
since it must take some real deep research to figure out who Wilson's wife
is. You might have to even use Google to get that information.

These are pathetic semantics, even for a Repug.

"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment
insurance and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of
that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group,
of course, that believes that you can do these things. Among them are a few
Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or businessman from
other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid."--President
Dwight Eisenhower, Republican November 8, 1954
