Rove lawyer : Cooper spun ROVE!?
Ahhhh the irony!

http://www.nationalreview.com/york/york200507121626.asp

"In an interview with National Review Online, Luskin compared the contents of a July 11, 2003, internal Time e-mail written by Cooper with the wording of a story Cooper co-wrote a few days later. "By any definition, he burned Karl Rove," Luskin said of Cooper. "If you read what Karl said to him and read how Cooper characterizes it in the article, he really spins it in a pretty ugly fashion to make it seem like people in the White House were affirmatively reaching out to reporters to try to get them to them to report negative information about Plame."

11. NO!!
Start a fund to get him a nice, soft uniform for prison - and a beautiful coffin to hold him after he gets executed for treason.

Never let it be said we don't give a guy his due.

13. Trust me...
there's nothing I want to see more than that fat phuck in an orange jumpsuit, hand cuffs, and leg irons. Well, maybe there is: Smirk and the entire merry band of neo-cons in orange jumpsuits, hand cuffs, and leg irons.

5. New defense...the truth is too outrageous to believe
Painful reality cannot be true because it is too painful.

9. Regardless of how they try to spin this....
It's on record that Bush stated he would fire anyone responsible for the leak. Rove is responsible...let's see who walks the walk

12. Actually, I've heard a rerun of Shrubs comments several times today.
He didn't say "responsible for the leak", he said "assiciated with it!"

I just wrote a ltte a few minutes ago stating that very thing. Rove has already admitted that he spoke to a reporter about Wilson's wife, so he should be fired, based on his own admission!

10. And if Judith Miller is a non-official-cover CIA operative herself
working domestically for the CIA and spreading administration propaganda...she'd really WANT to keep her mouth shut and so would that part of the CIA that works for this administration.

Operation Mockingbird, domestic CIA operations...Just what is the law regarding DOMESTIC CIA operations anyway ? Congressional oversight ? It doesn't count as long as a Republican administration is subverting the Constitution, right ?

14. Luskin is unbelievably crooked; the perfect frontman for a POS like KKKarl
Didja know he was once caught getting paid in GOLD BARS...

For appealing the 600-year sentence of a criminal
convicted of laundering $100 Million
via precious-metals dealers?

Yeah, that's not CROOKED or anything!:rofl:
