Tucker Carlson on Rove: "A stupid, small potatoes charge"

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

Just now on MSNBC. Having a "conversation" with comedienne Judy Gold.

She yelled at him "HE OUTED A CIA AGENT"

Carlson replied "People should be convicted for things that mattered and not convicted for things that don't."

Oy VEY. Jon Stewart's RIGHT. Whatta DICK.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Yes. Special prosecutors should concentrate on really serious matters.

Like blowjobs.

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

5. yep, consensual sex between adults is worthy of impeachment

I hope Kenneth Starr is taking notes about what a real prosecutor who takes on real issues looks like.

[TexasLawyer]

18. yes,yes--

good one!

[marmar]

2. Stupid, small potatoes?

Sounds like Tucker's career.

[deadparrot]

3. And if this had happened in a Clinton administration?

Would it still be small and stupid?

[Garbo 2004]

4. Oh things that matter like lying about a blow job, right Tucker?

Not that we have any particular interest in keeping secret ops to monitor and prevent the proliferation of WMDs actually secret, right Tucker?

[mzmolly]

6. Wishful thinking Carson.

And some good spin I might add.

[PatrioticLeftie]

7. Hey, isn't that the guy who endorsed terrorism?

Yeah, that's him.

[buddysmellgood]

8. Can he explain how treason doesn't matter?

[ticapnews]

10. "It's only treason when liberals do it."

eom

[punpirate]

9. I'll bet Carlson needs...

... a whole bunch of bodyguards. There must be entire cities' worth of people who want to kick his ass....

[Demobrat]

11. What charge would that be, Carlson?

Rove hasn't been charged with anything, has he? Does he know something we don't?

[Kierkegaard]

14. What are the chances of that???

He doesn't even seem to know he looks like an idiot wearing that bowtie.

[Crunchy Frog]

12. Probably is...

compared with all the other stuff he's been up to that he'll likely never get indicted for, unfortunately.

And yes, *ucker Carlson is a dick.

[Neshanic]

13. If one knows about small potatoes, it would be him, vapid little remora.

[BikeWriter]

15. He's a stupid fuck'n traitor!

Original message

Fitzgerald is showing MSM's complicity with Bushco crimes.


Clearly the main story to come out of Plamegate will be the criminal and treasonous behavior on the part of the Republicans who were going to restore honor and decency to the White House. But a story of almost equal importance is beginning to take shape as well. Just as the torture scandals are not limited to a few bad apples in the military, the bogus marketing campaign supporting the invasion of Iraq was promoted by not just by Judy Miller but all the major news organizations. They preferred to curry favor with an illegitimate, felonious regime rather than fulfill their journalistic responsibilities.

Russert, Mitchell, all the shills at FOX, the NYT and the WAPO all did their part to deceive the American people into favoring a stupidly conceived and stupidly executed adventure.

The news that will emerge from these indictments will give the lie to the charge that the media is liberal. It has been bought and paid for. And the traitors in the WH have more than got their moneys' worth. Truly these media darlings have dishonored their calling.

22. It's very true.

However, Watergate was just 'a third rate burglary' too.

It's not the criminal justice system's measure of the crime that matters. It's the political system's and electorate's measure of the crime that does.

The true crime of the Plame affair is hubris and being crudely above the law. That turns out to be an offense that carries a sentence of political capital punishment.

23. Bowtie Sissy Boy must really hate America

Treason is so...oh...how do you say...uninteresting...let's talk about (insert stupid shit here)...

Who did this guy fallate to get his cute little show?

[auburngrad82]

24. You mean like lying about a blowjob, Tucker?

"People should be convicted for things that mattered and not convicted for things that don't"

Yeah, right...

[npincus]

25. no, a presidential blowjob is a no-potatoes charge...

outing a CIA agent is a big fucking spud of a charge

[skip fox]

26. Rove for at least two indictments

.I think that Rove may receive at least 2 indictments and others will receive at least one apiece. The numbers of leakers (original sources) and officials needed for confirmation of the story MILITATES planning. When we consider that there were 6 reported contacts or original sources (John Dean says 6; we know of two: Rove and Libby) and multiple (3-4) confirming sources, it becomes apparent what occurred. One administrative official discovered the Plame-Wilson-Niger relationship, took it to the White House Iraq Group, turned it over to Rove, who on the spot assigned tasks to different primary leakers/sources assuring no source called another source's contact (so as not to appear too eager), that no source's "pitch" was exactly the same but that their information was all given in an "off hand" manner (e.g., "Don't go too far out on this Wilson thing, I don't want you burnt").

To have 6 calls from 3 leakers is an indication of a coordinated endeavor. If there were the 6 leakers as Dean claims would make the case even more damning. But also consider the planning necessary to have enough confirming sources. Unsure of who the reporters may call to confirm, someone would have to make sure at least 2 other officials were ready and willing to confirm if called.

Therefore a master-mind would have been necessary to coordinate all these calls and confirmations (as many as 11 as was storied last week).

They would have gone to Rove immediately and he, probably in an emergency of the White House Iraq Group, assigned the roles, the stories and the stances, etc.

So he not only leaked by was the mastermind of a conspiracy to leak.

We can only hope he lead a cover-up and committed perjury as well.
