Why the Rove case is Pertinent to Robert's Selection

[Tommymac]

The Valerie Wilson scandal case goes to the heart of the matter of trust. Should we trust GW Bush? Should we trust a man who appointed someone in his administration who revealed the identity of a National Security Asset? Even if Karl Rove did not do it 'intentionally', which I do not believe to be the case, he exercised extreme bad judgment when talking to Matt Cooper - bad judgment which had a chilling effect on our Nation's security.

GW Bush has shown in more than one instance his judgment of character is suspect. Rove; Donald Rumsfeld, perhaps one of the most incompetent SOD's this nation has ever had; Condeleeza Rice, whose lackadaisical attitude toward terrorism in the summer 2001 contributed to the worst tragedy this nation has ever suffered; Ken Lay...the list goes on and on.

Why should we as a Nation trust a man who has such a poor track record in the area of appointees? Why should we roll over and let this President pick a Supreme Court Justice who perhaps will sit in judgment over this Nations policies for the better part of a generation?

The Rove scandal shows we cannot. It must be pursued with vigor. We must investigate this nominee with a powerful magnifying glass; find the potential weaknesses that GW Bush cannot see. It all ties together. DSM, Rove, Rogers...all are aspects of the failure of judgment that permeates the GW Bush administration.
