Gergen & Mitchell defending Rove everyway possible.
Edited on Wed Jul-13-05 06:46 PM by spanone
Both on Hardball....not a democrat in sight. David Gergen & Andrea Mitchell Spouting all the appropriate RW bullshit on Karl Rove. And they are so fucking sure of themselves. Watch them run like lemmings if indictments are handed down.
Of course, Tweety offers no resistance nor does he challenge them in anyway.

1. Neither believes there is a legal case BUT
they both had to admit that there is so much that they don't know. They also admitted that there was another source in the White House that DID name Valerie Plame by name.

What they did not talk about is whether this is ethical behavior...and is it in the best interests of the USA.

Overall, Hardball has been very imbalanced tonight.

8. "very imbalanced"
Over the last couple of days, Joe Scarborough has been more fair than Matthews.

Tweety bet on the wrong rat this time.

At least Joe has been chicken enough to cover his bases.

10. Matthews is saying to repugs "Hey, Joe Wilson was proven right, right?"
What a softball question!! Especially since even if he was wrong, it is NO EXCUSE to out a CIA agent.

Stick to the ETHICS of Karl Rove's actions.

3. They realize that this could well develop into the end for *
and the R party, for that matter.

Rove is the ace holding together this house of cards. Pull him and all of the associated lies crumble.

I agree with one poster who envisions a new Saturday Night Massacre scenario.

6. On the yellowcake claims and forged documents, Andrea Mitchell says:
"There was a mistake there, and obviously the correct information did not reach the president, so there was some failure on the (intelligence gathering) level".

Ha. Sure, Andrea, sure. That's why Rove outed the guy's wife. Because there was some beauracratic foul-up that actually supported his boss' case for war in Iraq.

These people must think we're all stupid.

11. The No Uranium Report was mistakenly sent...
Edited on Wed Jul-13-05 07:06 PM by joemurphy
to the Department of Health and Human Services where it languished on some bureaucrat's desk until after the War got started. The DHHS Secretary took the blame. The President expressed renewed confidence in the Secretary and awarded him an American Medal of Freedom.

9. "Hardball" should be called "Foulball" .
Tweety is a total waste of time. I just can't see how he keeps his job. Who would miss him if he went the same way as Scarborough?

13. If Rove and others go down...
...all these people spouting off talking points and defending will feel like they've been made fools off and betrayed.

Let them talk....
