Just a quick thought on the Rove Plame L’affaire

Leftist bloggers are in danger of becoming known as one trick bloggers. Turning a Karl Rove Fest into nothing but Rove, and all the time Rove, leaps you into a chamber all by yourselves.

If Rove is the source of the leak for ousting Valarie Plame as a CIA agent; why is Judith Miller still in jail? If Rove contacted Mathew Cooper and told him to go ahead and testify to his substance of his conversations with Rove; then ask yourselves why is Judith Miller clinging to silence from her jail cell?

You cannot possibly suggest that Judith Miller didn’t have access to a phone to call Rove and ask for the same waiver of confidentiality that Rove called Cooper to offer pre-testimony; or are you going to argue that Rove doesn’t take collect calls from jail? I am all for standing up for principles but if the cat is out of the bag; what’s your point? If Miller’s testimony is substantially the same as Cooper’s; there is no source to protect and no principle to stand on and therefore – it is long past time to get off the chain-gang.

If you had paid any attention, you would know that Cooper lied when he said his source told him, he could testify. He said that as an excuse to not go to jail.

If you don't know anything about the topic, maybe you shouldn't be talking about it.

If it's the "leftist bloggers" that insist on talking about the issue, why is it all over the news every day? Here's a crazy theory: IT'S NEWS. The "fascist bloggers" insisting that it's not a story is only damage control. Just like Rove's constantly changing story.

Okay, let's see if I understand what your saying. Cooper lies about his source waiving his agreement to confidentiality so that he can testify and not worry about going to jail. That's still daft. Whether the source did or did not give Cooper a waiver, Cooper would not face going to jail because he broke an agreement of confidentiality. He would only face jail for refusing to answer questions. There is no jail ass to cover for that lie. Plame is blowing up in your faces.

Here's a tip from the Fascist:

The BIGGER NEWS STORY is watching the American democratic party and its supports implode publicly without no one to blame but themselves.
