Say No To Rove
Believe it or not, the New Hampshire Republican State Committee has invited Karl Rove to be the guest of honor at a party fundraising dinner next month. Yes, that Karl Rove. The one who is under federal investigation for leaking classified intelligence info as a means of partisan revenge. Please take a moment to sign this petition urging the NH GOP to do the right thing and disinvite Rove. There's no place in NH politics for a man like this.
YES. It is true, Karl Rove has survived yet another day without indictment. Are you Karl Rove(d) -out? Well, no worries. Were you at work or school and did not catch the latest Liberal Blog-bashing?
Read on if you dare and can...

So, how's that Rove indictment working out?
Just to update an item from last Monday, TruthOut's Jason Leopold reported nine days ago that Karl Rove has, in fact, been indicted as part of the Plame investigation, and was given 24 hours to prepare. It's been a week and nothing's happened. Over the weekend, TruthOut published a "partial apology"...<snip>
I'm afraid this isn't terribly compelling. The problem here isn't about aggressive reporting that gets "too far out in front of the news-cycle"; the problem is reporting information that appears to be false. Either the Leopold article on Rove's indictment was true or not. Ash's "partial apology" doesn't say either way.

Information Sharing on the Rove Indictment Story
By Marc Ash,
Tue May 23rd, 2006 at 02:49:15 PM EDT :: Fitzgerald Investigation
I'd like to break this posting into two categories: What we know, and what we believe. They will be clearly marked.
We know that we have now three independent sources confirming that attorneys for Karl Rove were handed an indictment either late in the night of May 12 or early in the morning of May 13. We know that each source was in a position to know what they were talking about. We know that the office of Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald will not confirm, will not deny, will not comment on its investigation or on our report. We know that both Rove's attorney Robert Luskin and Rove's spokesman Mark Corallo have categorically denied all key facts we have set forth. We know we have information that directly contradicts Luskin and Corallo's denials. We know that there were two network news crews outside of the building in Washington, DC that houses the offices of Patton Boggs, the law firm that represents Karl Rove. We know that the 4th floor of that building (where the Patton Boggs offices are located) was locked down all day Friday and into Saturday night. We know that we have not received a request for a retraction from anyone. And we know that White House spokesman Tony Snow now refuses to discuss Karl Rove - at all....

Much Angst in Leftieville - Still No Rove Indictment
It's been over 240 hours (weeeeellll past the original 24 hours, you flaming Moonbats) since the Leftist, not-living-in-reality, website TruthOut.org published a story by self-admitting liar, pot smoking, convicted felon, Leftist (which is the same as a self-admitting liar) journalist Jason Leapold stating that Karl Rove was handed an indictment by Fitzgerald for supposably lying in the Non-Outing Outing of Valerie Plame, wife of Traitor Joe Wilson. When the story first hit the 'net the Moonbats were partying like Al Gore had won the presidency, and since then, they have biting their pillows, trashing the walls of their basements, crumbling up their tinfoil hats in total frustration, because again, there was no truth to this fairytale story.

IS Karl Rove a genius or stupid?
Andrew Sullivan writes:
My money is on stupid. The right has long sought to portray Karl Rove as a genius; and the paranoid left has been only too happy to go along. My own view is that he's always been a dreadful political strategist. We don't have to wait for a GOP bloodbath this fall to see it. We had a president after 9/11 who could have asked anything of the American public and been supported. He chose a policy of brutal partisan division in war-time, and as commander-in-chief with a strong economy, he turned a 50 percent victory into ... 51 percent. If he'd risen above petty partisanship, asked for real sacrifice, listened to the military leadership on the war, and included Democrats in a war-cabinet, he could have won in a landslide.
5. Sometimes, just sometimes, from the Washington Prowler at the American Spectator
a plane is just a plane...
ABC News' "The Note" wonders what Karl Rove was doing in the airport in Chicago last week. The question no doubt sent three-quarters of the Daily Kos-sacks into a tizzy. After all, Joe Wilson scandal prosecutor Pat Fitzgerald is based there.
It is true that sometimes you're at the airport for a secret meeting to determine who the Supreme Court nominee will be later this summer to replace Justice Ginsburg.
Sometimes you're at the airport to plot how best to rig ballot machines to give your party landslide victories in an election year when your party is supposed to lose both the House and the Senate.
But sometimes you're at the airport just because your connecting flight happens to be there ... at an airport. Where planes take off and land. We know it's a difficult concept.
So there you have it. Let this be a lesson and reminder to all of us...
