White House in panic over spy scandal
Bush is on the rack over a revelation that his close aide Karl Rove
exposed a CIA agent
Paul Harris in Washington
Sunday July 17, 2005
The Observer
It was a question the White House press corps once believed unthinkable.
Has President George W Bush lost confidence in his political guru, Karl
Rove? If simply posing the question was a surprise last week, the answer -
or, more accurately, the lack of one - was an even greater shock.
When Bush faced reporters at the White House last Wednesday, he dodged
questions on Rove. Seated as ever, just behind his President, Rove himself
was tight-lipped and pale. The Rove-Bush partnership has changed the face
of American politics, propelling Bush from Texas to the White House. Not
for nothing is Rove known as 'boy genius' to Republican friends and
'Bush's brain' to Democrat enemies. Now that is under threat.
The so-called 'Valerie Plame affair' has the Bush administration in a
panic. An investigation into whether White House officials deliberately
blew the cover of a CIA agent in an attempt to hit out at a critic of the
Iraq war has Rove firmly in its sights.
The scandal has all the classic ingredients: an unmasked CIA agent - who
just happens to be a glamorous blonde - and a tough-minded independent
investigator. There are secret sources, leaked emails and even a reporter
thrown in jail. The official White House spokesman, the normally
unflappable Scott McClellan, has been caught making a grossly misleading
statement. Newspapers are devoting page after page to the twists and turns
of the case.
It is starting to have a familiar ring. Ronald Reagan had Iran-Contra.
Bill Clinton had Monica Lewinsky. Does Bush have Plamegate? 'Bad things
just happen in second terms,' said Larry Haas, a former Clinton aide. 'The
Bush administration looks to the American people that it has lied.'
It all began two years ago with a column from conservative journalist Bob
Novak at a time of intense debate over statements by Joseph Wilson, a
former diplomat who had researched claims for the CIA that Iraq was
seeking to buy uranium in Niger. Wilson publicly accused the Bush
administration of using the 'Niger issue' as part of a false justi
fication for invading Iraq. Novak's column, citing two administration
sources, said Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame, worked at the CIA. Such a leak
could have had two aims. First, it would punish the Wilsons by blowing her
cover and thus jeopardising her career. Second, it would warn others doing
CIA work not to speak out publicly against the White House.
'It actually worked. It was aimed at stopping the bleeding after Wilson
spoke out and no one else did,' said Mel Goodman, a former top CIA analyst
now at the Center for International Policy.
But it was also illegal. Deliberately exposing the identity of an
undercover CIA agent is a serious crime. Whoever had spoken to Novak could
face up to 10 years in jail. Not only was her career ended, but national
security had been harmed. 'To out a CIA operative for political reasons is
just unbelievable. This hurts the intelligence community which is supposed
to be protecting us. I hope Rove rots in hell,' said Larry Johnson, a
former CIA agent who is a former colleague of Plame's.
Bush reacted to the controversy by naming Patrick Fitzgerald as a special
counsel to investigate the leaks. That temporarily defused the issue and
allowed the 2004 election to be fought without the Plame affair
overshadowing it. But instead, as Fitzgerald held secret hearings, the
Plame affair became a ticking time bomb. So determined was Fitzgerald to
build up an accurate picture of what happened that his inquiries have even
led to the jailing of New York Times reporter Judith Miller, who was
briefed on Plame's identity by a source but did not write a story about
the affair.
But bit by bit a clearer picture has emerged and Rove has been caught in
the act. A leaked email last week from Time magazine reporter Matt Cooper
said Rove told Cooper that 'Wilson's wife' worked at the CIA before
Novak's column appeared. It is also believed that Novak has also told
Fitzgerald that one of his two sources was Rove.
That has put Bush in an awkward position. He has previously promised to
fire anyone revealed to be involved in the Plame leak, though the White
House is now refusing to repeat that statement. McClellan is an even worse
spot. He once told reporters that it was 'totally ridiculous' to suggest
Rove had been involved.
Rove's only way out is a legal one. The law is clear that to be guilty one
must knowingly expose the agent. It is possible Rove did not know Plame
was undercover. The other issue is technical. Rove appeared not to refer
to Plame by her name in conversation with Cooper, calling her only
'Wilson's wife'. With Novak it appears to be the journalist who asked
about Plame's job - which Rove then confirmed - rather than the other way
round.
If the legal case against Rove has holes in it, the political case is more
damning. For the first time in years the Democrats can exploit a scandal
that is easy to understand. While the details are confusing, the narrative
is simple: the White House exposed a CIA agent working to protect America.
'People are angry. The press corps is angry. The Democrats just have to
keep feeding the beast,' said Haas.
Rove has one huge advantage: Bush's loyalty. Few other presidents have
been as loyal as Bush to top officials. And Rove has been with Bush since
the beginning. 'If there's no evidence of illegality, I think he'll
survive,' said Haas.

Bush is not smart, but he is smart enough to know he is not smart. He
is the front man for his advisors, doing exactly what they say.

I wondered how long that pudgy fascist ***** Rove would keep repeatedly

back to bite the Bush administrations' deceitful and corrupted butts
really hard (and his own personal fat rump, too!).
Maybe that day has finally come...
His recent public remarks that liberals wanted to give therapy, sympathy

Way too early to say really, but since I've voted outside the two-party
system since 1974, and only came back last year to vote Democratic to get
rid of the rabid extremists in the Bush cabinet, I don't particularly care
at this point. I intend to go back to my ideological center and vote for
any party or candidate that more accurately reflects my conscience, goals,
etc.
If the House of Bushenstein falls, which I hope it does, then the fallout
may make for a return to the left or at least to the moderate center. If,
however, these jackasses continue to successfully bamboozle a largely
ignorant citizenry, 2008 may see Colon Powell as a front runner. Maybe
Chevron Rice... and a man named Jeb, a rich *****, barely kept his
family inbred, then one day he was shootin at some lib and up through the
ground came a bubblin crude.
I'd like to see a strong third party form a bipartisan coalition, similar
to the Bull Moose Party that put Theodore Roosevelt in, rise up and shake
off heavy corporate campaign contributions. A bit more liberal, though,
than the BM Party was.

I couldn't believe that he said that, even when I saw the film clip. At
first it was "has he been in the heat too long?!? had a nervous
breakdown?!?", but then realized that it was just more of the same old,
same old Lyin' Rove. The only people who bought that ridiculous stuff
were stepford Bushies, I'm sure.

If the legal case against Rove has holes in it, the political case is more
damning. For the first time in years the Democrats can exploit a scandal
that is easy to understand. While the details are confusing, the narrative
is simple: the White House exposed a CIA agent working to protect America.
'People are angry. The press corps is angry. The Democrats just have to
keep feeding the beast,' said Haas.
Rove has one huge advantage: Bush's loyalty. Few other presidents have
been as loyal as Bush to top officials. And Rove has been with Bush since
the beginning. 'If there's no evidence of illegality, I think he'll survive,' said
Haas.
Don't expect the Bushies to let Rove go down without a fight. It's
really too bad that Johnnie Cochran died earlier this year, because
the Bushies could have hired him to defend Rove. Remember the animated
TV-series 'South Park' where they satirized the late attorney Johnnie
Cochran's closing argument defending O.J. Simpson in his murder trial?
If Johnnie Cochran had been alive today, he would get Rove off the
hook by using the same legal strategy. He would seek to overwhelm the
jury with nonsensical arguments and thus confuse them into failing to
take account of the opposing arguments and, ultimately, to reject
them. And Rove would be acquitted.
Let's see how Johnnie Cochran could have used the 'Clinton Penis
Defence' in court:
Ladies and gentlemen of the supposed jury, the prosecution would
certainly want you to believe that my client Karl Rove outed Valerie
Plame as a covert agent, and by doing so he endangered America.
And they make a good case. Hell, I almost fell for it myself!
But ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, I have one final thing
I want you to consider: Ladies and gentlemen... this [pointing to a
picture of a penis] is a penis. Every man has a penis. Bill Clinton
has a penis, and he had oral sex in the White House. Now, think about
that. That does not make sense! Why would the former president have
oral sex with an intern? That does not make sense!
But more important, you have to ask yourself, what does this have to
do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do
with this case! It does not make sense!
Look at me, I'm a lawyer defending a major political player like Karl
Rove, and I'm talkin' about Bill Clinton's penis. Does that make
sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense. None of this
makes sense!
And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room
deliberating and conjugating the Emancipation Proclamation... does it
make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does
not make sense.
If Bill Clinton has a penis, you must acquit!
The defense rests.

It was a question the White House press corps once believed unthinkable.
Has President George W Bush lost confidence in his political guru, Karl
Rove?
Bush wouldn't BE President if it wasn't for Rove.
Bush is probably scared shitless of what Rove could do to him
IF he drops Rove due to this scandal.
Of course, Bush is probably ALSO hoping this will blow over as
quickly as Clintons cigar problem did, AND it probably will.

It already has. To top things off, Wilson has been proven to be a liar and pompus *****. Once again
the liberal spin machine stubs it toe.

Like you've been proven repeatedly to be a pathological liar, sociopathic
fantasist and just a garden-variety arrogant *****, right?
If, indeed, the "liberal spin machine" has stubbed its toe, then,
comparatively, your ***** here has destroyed all your toes, leaving you
with little to stand on.

Liberalism is a mental disorder..
Take a look back at why few conservatives voted for Barry Goldwater in
1964, causing Johnson to win by a landslide.
His personal brand of conservative politics would've fitted in well with
the current neocon extremism.
That's when most conservatives thought Goldwater was mentally unfit.
Think about it.
