Bush Family Tradition: Ducking Scandal
By Robert Parry
July 15, 2005


"If there is one trait that has followed the Bush family through generations of privilege, it is the ability to escape scandal – a skill that will be put to the test again over the leaking of the identity of an undercover CIA officer, apparently to get back at her husband for criticizing George W. Bush’s case for invading Iraq.

The criminal investigation into who revealed Valerie Plame’s identity – and endangered clandestine operatives working with her – has been building for two years. But it is finally reaching critical mass with the disclosure that Bush’s political guru Karl Rove discussed Plame’s CIA work with Time correspondent Matthew Cooper in July 2003



Since the scandal has resurfaced in the past few weeks – as New York Times reporter Judith Miller went to jail rather than divulge her sources and Time magazine agreed to cooperate with Fitzgerald – the White House has refused to comment while letting the RNC and the conservative news media carry the fight.

On July 13, 2005, the Wall Street Journal editorial depicted Rove as not just a victim, but a hero. “Mr. Rove is turning out to be the real ‘whistleblower’ in this whole sorry pseudo-scandal,” the editorial said. “Mr. Rove provided important background so Americans could understand that Mr. Wilson wasn’t a whistleblower but a partisan trying to discredit the Iraq War in an election campaign.”"

1. But, how can it make sense to someone who knows any facts at all?

Joe Wilson went to Niger. Didn't find yellow cake. Reported same upon his return along with others who were also there. He falls out of his chair when he hears the speech lying about yellow cake. He writes the op-ed piece saying what he knew...that their claim was false.
Who was Rove to have blown the whistle on and for what reason? Partisan sniping in an election campaign is what KARL ROVE uncovered for the American people? Hero?
God, help us. Democrats will start believing it before long if they get under Rove's spell.
