Cooper Contradicts Rove: He’s ‘Dissembling’ With ‘Nonsense’ About The Plame Leak

During his tour of the Sunday shows this morning, Karl Rove attempted to downplay and dismiss his role in the CIA leak scandal, telling Fox News’ Chris Wallace that he acted benignly in his conversations with reporters about Valerie Plame’s identity:

What I did say to one reporter was, I’ve heard that, too. And what I said to another reporter, off the record, was, in essence, I don’t think you ought to be writing about this.

Appearing on Meet The Press today, Matthew Cooper, one of the reporters to whom Rove spoke about Plame, said Rove’s version of the story was hard to believe. “I think he was dissembling to put it charitably,” said Cooper. “To imply that he didn’t know about [Plame's identity], or that he heard it in some rumor out in the hallways, is nonsense.”

Cooper also contradicted Rove’s characterization of their conversation, describing the “essence” of it as much more than just an attempt to wave him off the story:

Look, Karl Rove told me about Valerie Plame’s identity on July 11, 2003. I called him because Ambassador Wilson [Plame's husband] was in the news that week. I didn’t know Ambassador Wilson even had a wife until I talked to Karl Rove and he said that she worked at the agency and she worked on WMD.

Watch it:

Cooper’s right. Rove is peddling “non-sense” with his brushed off description of his role in the leak scandal. On Meet The Press, Rove also declared, “if a journalist had said to me, ‘I’d like you to confirm this,’ my answer would have been ‘I can’t, I don’t know, I’ve heard that too,’”

But as Cooper notes, Rove not only confirmed to him that Plame worked at the CIA, but he willingly pushed the information to him without it even being solicited, telling him that she “works at the agency on wmd [weapons of mass destruction] issues.”

When pressed by Wallace about his conversation with Cooper, however, Rove resorted to the administration’s standard line when asked about inconvenient facts: “I don’t recall.”

UPDATE: Crooks and Liars has more on Rove’s Meet the Press appearance here and here.

UPDATE II: Marcy Wheeler, who wrote a book about the Plame scandal, debunks Rove’s Meet the Press claims here.

    It is obvious that nothing Rove and his band of traitors can do that is too heinous for their loyal followers. Best to ignore them all.


  6. shane says:

    Good point katy, maybe the question for all who speak up now is why were you too afraid to tell us before. Were you being blackmailed and how was evidence against you obtained? Wiretapping?

    i.e. It Means Nothing! Bush has redefined the meaning of patriotism to a corrupt act in the service of lies and partisanship. There needs to an asterisk in front of every historical citation of honor bestowed by this President explaining that it is invalid.

    the fascism you live under can open your mail, freeze and seize your bank accounts, enter and search your house without a warrant and without telling you. it also makes sure you can’t declare bankruptcy if and when your medical bills drag you down or your home is foreclosed on.

    the facism you live under also insists that you respect it, or it will seize your property. and if you want to complain, you’d better do it in a “free speech zone”, or you’ll be detained without the legal rights YOU WERE BORN WITH.

    pretty soon, the fascist you live under will draft your children against their will (not YOUR will, you obviously support the administration’s war) to die in the desert for an illegal war. and if you complain, you’re a traitor.

    Michael, in front of the world to see, on CNN , with such glee, enthusiasm, excitement, the Bush crime family dropped 4000 bombs on Baghdad, a population half of which were children under the age of 16.

    Most here do not like Hilliary, most calling into talk shows do not like Hilliary… but the polls according to MSM always claim Hillary is ahead.
    Hilliary is Bush lite… Her husband did do it: signed NAFTA helped WTO and deregulated the media.

This is precisely why Rove and Cheney and others are facists: they disregard the principles of democracy in favor of what THEY believe is best for THEIR interests. You sir, are a facists too! Your inane conservative line calling for dissenters to “get out” is so tired and transparently meaningless that it is now a running joke. Rove is the anti-Christ…really, he is.

    Obviously Rove is zooming around the Plame leak. He’s a media guy. He knows there is no such thing as “off the record”.


  99. mr.ed says:

    I think he’s told himself his own version so many times for so long, he doesn’t know it isn’t the truth anymore. You’d have to give him a regimen of electric shock and truth serum to get the real facts, which we have anyway. I sure like the electric shock idea, though. About 40kv is a good, round number dontcha think?

    Michael: Free speech is not betrayal. Questioning Authority is good and necessary for this country to survive. I’m sorry there is so much anger in you. Good luck.

  105. Dave C says:

    Michael may be a troll. But I don’t question or doubt his Service to our Country.

    Doubt isn’t what’s important. He asks for proof of obvious facts & things that have been debated & proven before. Therefore he should meet the same standard. But he doesn’t.

    See Michael, your speech patterns give you away. Being around 50 myself, I can spot a snot nosed punk from a mile away, just by the way he speaks.

    For you to have given the US Navy 5 years of your life during the 1960’s, that would mean you were 18 during the 60’s, meaning that now, you’d be almost 70.

    You are not almost 70.

    I’m not even sure if you’re almost 17.

    But one things for sure.

    The only service you’ve ever given to the Navy, or any other branch of the US Military, is lip service.

    Wow. Michael? wrote a declarative sentence.

    A stupid declarative sentence, but in its way it’s an improvement on the questions.

    Any of you who have had a two-year-old knows this routine. “Why?” blah blah blah “But whyyyyy?” Because blah blah blah “Why?”

    Two-year-olds think it’s cute, but anyone much above that age has managed to grow out of it. Anyone but Michael?

  121. Chris says:

    Liberator,

    How are Cheney, Rove, and Bush brave? Cheney deferred military service five times; Rove, that fat-ass never served; and Bush, his miliatry record is a joke! Funny, you folks call liberals weak and cowardly, but please go through the present adminstration’s members and give me their brave, strong exploits…could you do that for me? As a military officer in Iraq said last week, if they want to fight Iran so bad, let them put on a F****** uniform and fight! Guys like Addington and Rove, the ochestrators of the Iraq war, never fought or served, but they talk tough. I suppose Wesley Clark is a wuss too.

  132. Abby says:

    Is Rove really a genius or are we, as a people, incredibly stupid?

    Consider the facts: Rove looked at this country and made a bet with himself that he could pick a Chimpanzee and make him President. Not only that, the Chimpanzee could screwup his first term and he, Rove, could still get the Chimp re-elected to a Second Term. And that he, an atheist, could use the religious-freaks to do it.

    And he did. Oh, how he did.

    Maybe Rove is no genius but, against the canvas of an uninformed, media-manipulated, advertisement-jingle conditioned American people, he might as well be one.

The President, Vice President, and the men who they rely on for advice, like Karl Rove, are TRUE AMERICANS, and they have to put up with your SLANDER and ignorant LIES! But despite people like YOU, who want to see America fail, we will win and the Islamofascists in the Mid East and their Liberal partners over here know it!

    Liberator,

    Please, answer my question: Have Rove, Addington, Cheney, Bush, Rice, or any other senior administration official either (a) served in the active duty Armed Forces or (b) actually fought in a conflict? Are you calling ordering soldiers to do your dirty work bravery? Not only do I have a right, but by extension I have a duty, to call their decisions into question. And that is why they are facists: by definition, they want single-party, single-minded control of our governmental decisions.

    -accusing our military of terrorizing women and children (kerry)
    -publishing posed photos from Abu Grhaib
    -exposing secret military prisons
    -criticizing our government when protecting us from terrorists they listen in on SOME overseas calls

    Michael, you still haven’t responded to my primary questions. But since you picked the low hangin fruit, let me respond back. Publishing pictures of prisoner abuse is exposing gross human rights violations; secret renditioning of suspected terrorists is a violation of other nations sovereignty, something we wouldn’t want do to us; and exposing a program that secretly listens in on American citizens is encouraged by the Constitution and our history.

    As for Durbin’s comments, they were hyperbolic and unnecessary, and no, I don’t agree with them. However, Kerry’s comments were — surprisingly — true! Have you not followed the miliatry trials of the soldiers who raped, murdered, dissembled, and the such in several cases?


  181. Dave C says:

    Only a very small percentage of democracy has to do with voting. Last I checked, Iraqis can vote, as can lots of other folks in S. America, Asia, and Eastern Europe, though I wouldn’t call their countries very democratic.

    And still, you have not answered for the lack of miliatry service by the Bush administration. Virtually none were ever in the miliatry; and none served in an armed conflict. And yet, they can talk tough about service.

    Okay michael:

    It is pretty damn clear that Dick Cheney and GW lied to the American people over the war in Iraq. They used false evidence in the form of the Niger documents to lie America into a war which it had previously rejected under Bill Clinton, for lack of suffecient evidence.

    Of course, you trolls will jump up and down and say “But Bill Clinton…” and expect us to take this as credible. Bill, was wrong but he didn’t fake the facts to fit his policy, GW did.

    If you truly believe you are winning this battle, you are more bush-like than I thought. Ya know, bush thinks he is winning also – but he is not. So again, you are in similar ‘alternate realities’ that of your monarch. It still makes you seem pathetic and foolish, but maybe that is the best you can do. Sigh…


  195. Bruce Gorton says:

    How we know that these documents were the responsibility of the Republican party was through the outing of Valerie Plame as revenge. Had it been a simple mistake, Valerie Plame’s CIA ties would still be unknown to us today.

    Of course, you will counter by saying Scooter was found guilty of perjury and obstruction of justice, and that is where it ended. We will point out that justice, was obstructed and Scooter wasn’t lying for the fun of it. Further, Scooter himself was not particularly hard hit by the scandal, given that he hasn’t had to serve any jail time for it.

    Michael,

    1. How is Iraq a win for the United States?

    2. How is it ever going to be a win for us?

    And don’t duck the questions by asking others. Answer them.

    Or don’t you have an answer.

    This is the most ill-conceived foreign policy clusterf*&k in the history of the nation done for either greed or revenge, or more likely, both.

    And for the record, this President is a contemptible fool, and a lying gutless punk.

    Just ask Valerie Plame.

    “I’ll take care of anybody who was involved” he bleated. Little did we realize he mean he’d take very good care of the people involved. Get this straight:

    He knowingly violated the Intelligence Identities Protection Act, for nothing more than petty partisan political gain, and to get his war. He let Libby fall on his sword and then commuted the sentence. He protected everyone else in the administration involved by claiming ‘unitary executive privilege’, a phrase I can’t seem to find anywhere in the damned Constitution.

    He’s surrounded by people who will wrap themselves in the flag, thump loudly on a bible and call you ‘traitor’ if you question their obvious foolishness.

    Following idiotic policy blindly isn’t Patriotism.

    Or I could have run off to Canada like I guess some of your relatives did?

    Comment by michael
    The point is michael, is that you use the fact that you served in the Navy during a time of an illegal war and military draft. For the most part we all know those that joined the Navy in those days, did so to avoid going into combat… tha’s cool… but do not hold it up for all to see that you did this to serve your country.


  204. broadsword says:

    Michael, questioning our leaders isn’t treason. Sorry.

    Questioning our leaders isn’t just a right in this Country. It’s our responsibility as Citizens.

    I wonder; have you forgotten what you swore to when you were in service?


  205. Doug says:

    For Michael: George Bush is apparently a deserter and coward. Cheyney is apparently a coward and a poltroon. Karl Rove is an apparent appaent immoral idiot and poltroon. Better?
    However, the present administration has ignored the Constitution and broken laws – even Bush has admitted it (see FISA). The present administration has demonstrated a level of incompetency not even seen in most third world countries.
    If you feel that you must support a fantasy, may I suggest that you take up D&D or something; it would less of a waste of your time.
    Oh, and don’t go calling me a traitor – I DID serve in the military and have a DD214 to show for it.

    Of course he doesn’t forget…

    On my honor, I will do my best:

    * To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law
    * To help other people at all times
    * To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight

    Wait, that’s the Boy Scouts, not the Navy. Ring a bell Michael? It wasn’t that long ago was it?


  209. Abby says:

    The “genius” of Rove helped destroy this country faster than Bin Laden ever could. I bet every troll here is “Proud to be an American” but I bet not one of them can’t point to one goddamn thing about America that they can be proud of.

    Not one pillar of “Truth, Justice and the America way” remains standing and when a person like Mugabe of Zimbabwe further abuses his people and cites the US as an example for the justification of those new laws, there remains nothing for Americans to be proud about.

    As Bush would so aptly put it, for America, Rove did a Heck of a Job. Bin Laden will forever be grateful.


  210. Bruce Gorton says:

    Now, as to other crimes, there are war crimes and treaty violations sponsored by the American president. For example, trading nuclear technology with India, a NPT non-signatory state which by treaty, should have been inelligable for such a deal.

    Another example is the legalisation of torture, however that is more a war-crime comitted by Congress and the Senate then by Bush, he, through his deputy was a major force in favour of it and he didn’t excercise his veto to stop it. (Graham-Levin Amendment.)

    This action violates the rules of war and the American constitution in ways which have not been seen since the civil war. Terrorism, though you wet your bed over it, is not a threat on the scale of the American civil war, a war has not even been officially declared.

    and why would a good conservative be posting on the liberal internet on sunday when you should be in church worshipping your god?

    1: To characterise the Al Qaeada as a bunch of no-hopers is a sign of tragic ignorance.

    A case in point: In the most recent spate of terror attacks in Britain, the guys who were fingered for the crimes were doctors. In terms of professional status, doctors are fairly high up on the totem pole.

    2: Your knowledge of the IRA is cursory at best if you think it was made up purely of no-hopers looking for a thrill of power. It was and still is at its core an ideological movement for the unification of Ireland under a government seperate to that of the UK.

    Because research into torture has shown that the information one gets from it is patently unreliable and it often leads to false leads (People lying to make the pain stop.)

    Further, the example of the tortured individual leads to people who would otherwise be neutral, radicalising against the torturer. Abu Ghraib for example, is currently used by Al Qaeada in its propaganda.

    Thus, why even Tsun Tsu’s rules of war, make a case for treating captured enemies well.

    Liberator=Mr Pee and I think it’s a mistake to consider him representative of anyone but other people with serious mental problems. He’s got a case of virtual Tourette’s.

    Doesn’t this sound familiar?

    Coprolalia is a typical symptom of Tourette syndrome, a condition that has its onset in childhood and is characterized by compulsive arm movements, facial tics, grunting, groaning and shouting. Aside from coprolalia, there is often echolalia, the involuntary parrot-like repetition (echoing) of a word or sentence just spoken by another person. Persons with Tourette syndrome do not usually curse out of anger or displeasure but out of uncontrollable compulsion. They cannot help themselves. (The disease is also called Gilles de la Tourette syndrome.)

    News flash…….Halliburton is now manufacturing “torture racks” for the general public. The company said today that the new racks are compatible with the older model “water boards” that a lot of you neocons purchased in the late 90’s however the new water boards are larger and will accommodate even he most robust US Jihadi. Both Rove and Cheney are said to have ordered a couple each and has been reported to have already poured the concrete slabs in their backyards needed for the new racks. Gooood night everybody……………

    1. often Fascism a. A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism. b. A political philosophy or movement based on or advocating such a system of government. 2. Oppressive, dictatorial control.

    Too bad for you those allegations turned out to be completely unfounded and untrue. You do know that Christine Gregior is Governor of Washington, don’t you?

    So how about all those counties in 2004 where the polls showed that the Democrat was ahead by 5 points and then the Republican won by 5 points? Just a coincidence even though it happened in numerous counties? And what about all those counties where there were more votes counted that there were people in the county? There are numerous documented instances of election fraud out there if you care to take a look. What there are not is any proven cases of voter fraud such as those you are trying to quote here.

    Early-on in the Korean War, it was revealed that North Korean authorities would subject downed American pilots to torture and brain washing. The Navy put together a esprit de corps film that stressed that point. All pilots who were shown that film increased their kill ratio from 2 in 1 to 7 in 1 in dogfights. The Navy was flying F4U Corsairs (A WWII prop-driven airframe.) at the time, the North Koreans, MIG-15s (A jet.).
    The lesson is that torture emboldens the potential recipients

    Comment by michael — August 19, 2007 @ 5:47 pm

    Early-on in the Korean War, it was revealed that North Korean authorities would subject downed enemy pilots to torture and brain washing. The Navy put together a esprit de corps film that stressed that point. All pilots who were shown that film increased their kill ratio from 2 in 1 to 7 in 1 in dogfights. The Navy was flying F4U Corsairs (A WWII prop-driven airframe.) at the time, the North Koreans, MIG-15s (A jet.).
    The lesson is that torture emboldens the potential recipients

They’ve probably suffered a half a million or so civilian combat casualties, their entire professional middle class has left the country. There is currently a civil war going on there, with hundreds dying in truck bombings every week, but you and your ilk think that’s a win for the world?

    If someone who uses fear for political advantage is a terrorist, michael, guess what that makes your boy Bush?

    Way of life? What, are you stupid? This war was elective on our part, and we can elect to get the hell out of there. Decades? You mean a really profitable war without end, right? ‘Cause that’s what you’re supporting, dimwit.

    Leaving: it wouldn’t be the first time the Iraqis got screwed by the United States (”if you rise up against Saddam, we’ll support you” – remember that gem from 1991?), and Lord knows it probably won’t be the last.

    We’re leaving, moron. Right after you lose the WhiteHouse, and the rest of Congress, forever.

    Comment by Nat — August 19, 2007″

    No they didn’t. They stopped the hand recount which was against Florida election laws. I told you to be careful?

    Comment by michael — August 19, 2007 @ 6:13 pm

    ———————————————————————————

    Well no, it wasn’t, Michael.

    First of all, hand recounts are specifically provided for under Florida election law, and the Gore team was in compliance with that law when they requested them.

    If you are suggesting that the order of a statewide recount by the FSC was somehow “against Florida election laws” you are also wrong. The discretion of the court under Florida statute and common law to fashion such a remedy was not controverted by the USSC.

    You are suggesting that that was the reason that the USSC stopped the manual recount, and once again you are wrong. The court issued a stay of the FSC order for a statewide recount until the case could be presented to the court…it had nothing to do with the legality of the recount under Florida law.

    When the USSC issued its opinion in the case, it did not suggest that the statewide recount was in violation of Florida election law, and it only “stopped” the recount until it could be conducted under uniform statewide guidelines that satisfied equal protection requirements. They held that the deadlines for submission of results precluded that from happening, and so the recount ended. But NOT because it was “against Florida election laws.”

    Not very careful of you, Mikey.

    But then again, you admit you didn’t have the benefit of a public school education.

    You are correct, the Florida Supreme Court ruled that the hand recount should continue even though it was against Florida’s election laws. Florida Supreme Court was changing it’s election laws right after the election and the U.S. Supreme Court told them they can’t. Read “Breaking The Deadlock” by Richard Posner.

    Aldritch Ames and Robert Hansen outed the identities of covert U.S. intelligence operatives to the Soviets…and ended up in prison.

    Karl Rove, and members of his White House criminal gang, out the identity of a covert U.S. intelligence operative…and don’t get frog-marched off to prison.

    This is why Karl Rove is called a traitor, just as Ames and Hansen were called traitors, because of their treasonous acts that endangered our national security through their outing of the identities of our nation’s covert intelligence operatives.

    I’m certain that covert CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson, as well as top officials at the CIA, always thought that they had more to worry about from our enemies overseas than from the executive branch of our own government…until that is, top officials in the Bush administration started dropping her name among “non-need-to-know” civilians in the U.S. news media.

    And it is quite obvious that Karl Rove (and Dick Cheney) were the main culprits behind this treasonous, traitorous outing of a covert CIA agent’s identity, putting them on par with Ames and Hansen.

    You mean negotiate with terrorists? Where is OBL? And the bases he wanted closed in Saudi Arabia are closed. His family was escorted out of the country when nobody else was allowed to fly.

    The Dionne quintuplets were born on May 28, 1934, to a humble, French-speaking couple in a farmhouse outside of Callander, Ontario, Canada. They were identical sisters and for the first 10 years of their lives, the five girls were the No. 1 tourism attraction in Canada.

    Then came free health care for all Canadians. Which is why the four identical Jepp sisters were born in Great Falls, Mont., instead of Calgary this weekend. The Canadian parents flew 325 miles to get to an American hospital. . . . I’m sure most Canadians like their health system. Just remember, though, that Canada’s backup system is in Montana. Americans spend 15% of their income on health care. That’s why Great Falls has enough neo-natal units to handle quadruple births — and a “universal health” nation doesn’t. After all, they didn’t fly Mrs. Jepp to Cuba, did they?

    Ouch.

    We’ve heard much talk lately about Canada’s “free” health care system, glorified in Michael Moore’s documentary “Sicko.”

    Canada is certainly superior when it comes to providing all citizens with basic, preventative health care — an admirable feat.

    But the births of the Jepp sisters are case in point that Canada’s medical infrastructure is as flawed as ours, just on the other end. Woe be those like Karen Jepp and her girls, whose lives depend on access to specialized doctors and surgeons.

    The chances of conceiving identical quadruplets are anywhere from 1 in 11 million to 1 in 16 million, according to perinatologist Tom Key.

    Damn those lazy, evil Canucks… simply NOT prepared for a 11 million to one long shot!!! Hey, Frank, thanks for pointing that out.

    Because the terrorists who attacked the World Trade Center, according to Bush, were Saudis led by OBL.

    Comment by michael — August 19, 2007 @ 7:55 pm

    ——————————————————————–

    Oh Mikey, if you had even bothered to read the actual cases, you would have avoided looking so foolish in public.

    In Bush v. Palm Beach Canvassing Board, the USSC examined the FSC’s November 21, 2000 holding that Katharine Harris had abused her discretion when she refused to validate recounted election results. NOTE: this had to do with the date of the certification of the original count, not the recounts requested by Gore after the certification.

    The USSC vacated the FSC holding and sent it back down for clarification of the basis of the holding. The FSC complied and submitted the clarifications while the USSC was considering Bush v. Gore, and so the two cases were combined.

    It was before hearing the arguments in Bus v. Gore that the USSC issued an order staying the FSC’s mandate for a statewide recount. It was the recount ordered in response to Gore’s post-certification requests for recounts – which most certainly WERE authorized by Florida law, hon. The USSC simply ordered that the recount stop until they had heard the case.

    Then they issued their opinion. Nowhere did they say the FSC had changed Florida’s “election laws” by ordering the recount, nor did they question the court’s authority to do so. They held that the recount must be conducted under uniform standards meeting equal protection requirements… except that it could not be completed in time to meet the constitutionally-mandated deadline.

    My gosh Mikey, didn’t your mom teach you how to read for comprehension?

    Well, except for Reagan. Bush was the first president to SURRENDER to terrorists, giveng them everything they wanted, including an unwarranted, illegal invasion of the wrong country. Bush and Cheney are the main supporters of al Qaeda worldwide, and entirely responsible for their presence in Iraq. In fact, Al Qaeda is an invention of the Bush crime cabal, who, like all totalitarian fascistis wannabes, need to invent enemies to rouse the idiot public (the base, English for Al Qaeda, by the way) into supporying their world domination schemes. The proof of this is in the speed with which Bush abandoned the hunt for Osama, allowing hinm to escape at Tora Bora, and continualing to aloow him free reign in Pakistan. Any president that kisses and holds hands with Saudi princes has no love or loyalty to the USA. That’s pretty easy for all to see.

    The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else.”

    You know what I’m trying to say is that most of us tend to resort to hyperbole, exaggeration, and speculation sometimes when discussing subjects on these threads. It’s fairly natural, I think, in the heat of debate, and you are as guilty of it as anyone else. Usually, when this kind of thing happens, there’s someone like michael around to call the libs out on this, and when you trolls do it, we all jump on you.

    All in all, I would rather see this kind of interaction than some kind of watered-down exchange where no one dares make any statement that has not been verified by a Supreme Court ruling or the unanimous consensus of the scientific world.

    First off, your premise is wrong. Hand recounts are permissible under only two conditions:
    1 if the original count was done by hand, which it wasn’t
    2 if the person challenging the results can show that the tabulating machines used in a particular precinct counted votes incorrectly which algore didn’t do.

    Comment by Egreggious — August 19, 2007 @ 11:29 pm

    I admit it, I’m the michael troll. It shames me to say it, but I thought it would be fun.

    I put a thick rubberband around my neck, in order to reduce the blood flow to my head — and then I just post all the random shit that blinks through. That’s all the michael troll is, folks. Random shit via dementia.

    It’s been a nightmare, but I know I can stop anytime.

    Really, I can.

    After all that public schooling you still can’t say anything intelligent? What a waste of taxpayer’s money!


  695. ronjazz says:

    michael is merely bitter and envious of those with ANY education. He thinks Richard Posner is credible. He thinks that the candidate with half a million more votes than the loser Bush was trying to steal the election.

    I keep saying he thinks, when I mean he believes. If he thought, he’d be a a liberal, as the founders were.

    As a consistent critic of public ed in your country I was wondering if you might identify the 3 greatest weaknesses you see in the system as well as its 3 greatest strengths.

    First off my criticism is of public grade and high school. In the most advanced country in the world we are graduating walking idiots! zooey is a great example. They don’t have mandatory classes in the sciences, literature, English, history, math, and language. I know! My wife just put her daughter through public high school in a very affluent are of San Francisco. Her education and expectations were horrible! Todays public schools promote making a child feel good as apposed to learning how to function in the real world. I could go on and on, but I won’t. The real judge of just what a public school turns out can be seen bt reading some of their posts on this blog! They are incredibly moronic!

    michael has his little list of RATwing liar points, and will refer to them from time to time. This explains the occasional use of periods instead of question marks.

    All counting IS DONE by hand, not mechanical, so his FIRST point in post 671 is a lie:

    First off, your premise is wrong. Hand recounts are permissible under only two conditions:
    1 if the original count was done by hand, which it wasn’t
    2 if the person challenging the results can show that the tabulating machines used in a particular precinct counted votes incorrectly which algore didn’t do.

    Lies and the Lying liars who tell them. Get it hereb.

    That’s a river, Rose. Not the “coast”.

    Which is not to say we don’t have floods. 1996 is a good example. I think the levees along Marine Drive were relatively safe, but a lot of houseboats and marinas were trashed. Some friends of mine were a foot or two from having their home float off into the Pacific.

  829. Bush is a WAR CRIMINAL TRAITOR says:

    Karl Rove was one of SEVEN people in the Bush admin who were shown at Libby’s trial to have leaked Plame’s name.

    Others included Libby and Armitage.

    Since Plame was our WMD spy, along with the Brewster Jennings company, Bush’s CRIMINALS

    SABOTAGED our National Security, and the leakers are TRAITORS.

    Concerning the SCOTUS decision, Vincent Bugliosi, hard-right Manson prosecutor wrote a book called “The Betray of America”.

    Supreme Court decisions normally set precedent, having not been resolved in lower courts.

    The SCOTUS said it was a “one-time decision”, and did NOT set precedent.

    Bugliosi said the SCOTUS betrayed America.

    And none of this changes the fact that the Florida 2000 recount was done by hand (I watched the nightly news at that time and they showed footage of the manual recount).

    It also changes nothing regarding the fact that the recount was not stopped because it was against Florida law, as michael has claimed.

    Here is a good primer on the subject.

    Your friend michael is absolutely, 100% wrong. So much for his private education he likes to brag about.

    There is a Saudi prince nickname “Bandar Bush” by Mama Bush.

    Slander implies LIES.

    I tell the TRUTH.

    The Bush WAR CRIMINALS

    HATE the truth.

    Which means they HATE God and Jesus…

    Jane and Wayne,

    Do you know a postman name Mike R. in Pawling?

    He is my old neighbor and I grew up next door to him.

    His parents, both deceased now, had a restaurant in Pleasant Valley for about 30 years.

    Chill out, bro. That was an inside joke for Egg, because JPark had pointed out that we had been misusing the word in it’s true legal sense.


  897. Bodhittsatva says:

    “Slander implies LIES.”

    Slander IS a lie.
    If during court, it can be proved that what one says as “slander” is actually true, then the case is moot and thrown out, fore it is truth. Slander is almost like Executive privilege, it is only provable by taking someone to court to prove its existence. It is only a label upon information.

    Thanks, Egg, I miss you guys, too. Sometimes when I do stop by I end up just lurking for a while, because the trolls seem to be taking over the threads so often. I’m glad to hear that “Dr Dog” won’t “darken our towel” again (Marx Brothers fans?), but he’s just one of many that just annoy the crap out of me.

    Anyway, it’s bedtime for me–actually, it’s way past bedtime. So, as Krusty the Klown’s headstone says. “See ya real soon, kids!”

    Goodnight, Egg, goodnight, “Rose”!

    Our postmaster is named Mike, maybe he’s the same one. (At least, the last time I was in the post office, which was years ago, Mike was the postmaster.) Really nice guy. It’s a small town, and when we moved from an apartment in the village to our current house, the post office continued to forward our mail for at least a decade after we moved! That just doesn’t happen in most towns.

    Actually, it is just the ultimate Reichtwing site, that attempts to go back in time and re-write history. All the text is just Madcowious’ opinion, but spewed as dogma. There is no way to go back and research without a huge undertaking, because he leaves off his trail of references. Not a citation or reference for any quotes or statements of fact.
    Just another piece of shit (yeah may look good,) but a little TOO good, if you catch my drift.

    PROPAGANDA to unlearn the mighty masses.


  938. Egreggious says:

    Oh, there you are!

    Good luck with school! I envy you. I’m too lazy to go back to school. I took one class a couple of years ago, and I think I may have took it too seriously. I was exhausted during the last term, trying to go to school and work full time, walking back and forth to each. I’m kinda lame.

    I think you’re being a little too harsh on him. I’m sure his interpretation of history is slanted by his wacko views, but I don’t think he’ll cause as much damage on his blog as he does here. It’s a good use of his time, and I’m sure he’ll get better as he goes along.

    I have a genealogy blog where I keep track of my progress and share some of the things I’ve learned. I’m kind of lazy about documenting my sources there as well, which is kind of a bad habit, but it’s my blog and I do what I like. I’m always happy to provide documentation to anyone who requests it however.

    I bet Pee would do the same.

    Such as the Nobel Prize-winning scientist who graduated from the same public high school as I, the four and seven Nobel Prize-winning scientists who respectively graduated from Stuyvesant High and the Bronx High School of Science, both NYC public schools, mikey? How many Nobel Prize laureates attended your supposedly superior private (or home) school, or Pepperdine, the university you claim to have attended? I know it’s zero in the latter case, and undoubtedly the same in the former case, too.

    Texas defies federal court with plan to execute man who did not kill

    · Controversial state law led to murder conviction
    · Accomplice had sat in car 25 metres from shooting

    Dan Glaister in Los Angeles
    Monday August 20, 2007
    The Guardian

    Texas is poised to execute a man for a crime he did not commit. While the perpetrator of the murder in San Antonio was executed last year, Kenneth Foster, who was sitting in a car 25 metres away at the time of the shooting, was sentenced to death under the “law of parties”.
    The controversial Texas law removes the distinction between the principal actor and accomplice in a crime, and makes a person guilty if they “should have anticipated” the crime.


  947. Tobey's Mom says:

    Time for your nap tobey…come on little one, quit playing at big people things and lay down now. Youre embarrassing me and the neighbors are starting to talk.

    I’m glad I moved away from Texas! I could be accused for “anticipating” the deaths that Pres. Bush is encouraging!


  949. Bruce Gorton says:

    Gary

    Seen as other posters have already supplied links for you to peruse, I will leave it at this:

    You have argued that America was attacked and therefore the invasion of Iraq was retaliatory. Except, not a one of the hijackers on 9/11 was from Iraq. They were mostly Saudis. Further, Saddam was a known enemy of Osama Bin Laden at the time.

    Thus, I have to ask whether your reasoning is due to you being misinformed, or simply racist (They are all Arabs! …sort-of.)


  950. Average Joe says:

    This is just more cover-up and subversion from a government that has become more about the ruling class and less about the people. We are being led toward a world that my father and yours fought against….a fascist
    regime

    Bush is now the embarrassing uncle the Republicans just can’t hide

    With the departure of Karl Rove, the stench of failure hangs over the president – and his party wants to ignore the smell

  952. AnotherDemocraticVeteran says:

    Regarding Valerie Plame’s identity, Karl Rove said, “What I did say to one reporter was, I’ve heard that, too”.

    Attention, Karl. You may remember that, before you got your security clearance, you were trained how to protect Secret information. I know you received this training because Everyone who gets a security clearance receives this training. It’s mandatory. As part of that training you were instructed not to confirm secret information, because, even if you are not the first person to divulge a secret, then confirming secret information is … well, confirming secret information.

    When you have a Security clearance, and you confirm information that is supposed to be Secret, then you’ve committed a felony, and at the very least your clearance should be immediately revoked. Unless you work for George W. Bush, in which case Laws Are For Other People.
