Lester Kinsolving is the other clown that still remains in the WHPC.

FWIW, I recall that Berger took “copies” of documents and destroyed/lost them. He did not have access to the originals, so I’m not sure it should be called stealing. He took notes (against the rules) and removed copies (against the rules); he was caught; he fessed up; he was punished. And people want to say that Berger is worse than Rove? Boggles the mind…

Lastly, after watching the CSpan Scotty-Fest, I’m have 2 questions: 1) How odd that the press conference opens with a reminder of what happened in Srebrenica 10 years ago. If Bush thinks it was so horrible an event, I wonder why he forgot to discuss the reaction of the US to it? Oh, I forgot, that was some other administration.
2) Who is the new Gannon replacement that Scotty reached out to in his time of need? His name in the transcript is Goyal. His question includes the quote “the President is doing a great job as far as fighting against terrorism is concerned”. Gag me.

Cameron, did you even read the Senate committee’s report? Did you even read Schmidt’s piece that originally reported on it? If you go to that link (It’s on the RedState.org page ), http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A39834-2004Jul9.html?referrer=emailarticle you’ll find that the WaPo issued a correction. Schmidt confused references to an Iran-Niger connection (true) with one involving Iraq and Niger (false). For further clarification on Schmidt’s story, and a sound debunking of today’s right wing Wilson-as-liar meme, see how Talking Points Memo took the spin out of Schmidt’s story when it first came out: http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/week_2004_07_04.php#003143

Even though Rove hasn’t much scalp left, I think this could be fairly claimed as one, seeing as how the SCLM would have reported in perpetuity on Paris Hilton and Michael Jackson riding sharks in hurricanes, were it not for the stout warriors of the internets. They drove to the golf course, set the ball on the tee, got Happy Gilmore on the ball with the 3 wood. All the news-readers have to do is get off their asses long enough to sink a two-foot putt.

Score another one for the pajamahadeen. Nice work, folks. See you at the 19th hole, and then we can go piss on Karl Rove’s political grave.

Too late! The truth is no longer non-partisan. Sigh. It’s liberal. Can’t help it, dammit! You speak the truth, you’re branded liberal. Waddya gonna do?

re: Security access.

I agree. How did Rove get access to ‘eyes-only’ (Restricted Access Top Secret) materials?

I worked with classified materials when I was in USAF 30 yrs ago, but was never cleared for that level of material. To get access you need more than a need to know. The information has to be “vital and necessary” to the performance of your duties. This is major serious. If Rove had access to the list of active covert agents, he may have been in violation of law if he had no reason or need to access the material.

CIA will not admit to ANY classification level over Top Secret, but the special access programs and data exist. Some is so cassified that it is supposedly stamped “Burn Before Reading”. Point is, Rove may be in very deep trouble. Can’t say I’m particularly surprised. Evil always trips over it’s tongue (actually anatomically somewhat lower that trips Rove. Gee, Do you think Guckert/Gannon is involved?). This looks like so much fun if it goes the right way!

Let’s list them folks!

Richard Clarke
Gen. Shinseki
Karen Kwiatkowski, Lt. Col. USAF (ret.)
General Anthony Zinni,U.S. Marine Corps (Retired)

That’s just off the top of my head. C’mon expand the list. Can’t be damned ol lefty liberals like me! You know, folks with info that would have had Clinton char broiled in a moment.

Let the game begin!

Rove your a smart litle dick, but I’m the preez by god and only I can save you.

But Mr. President, I have not yet been convicted!

No mind, I’m gonna do it anyway, its my perogatory (sic)
