Freeps react: "False hope of Fitzmas," Rove "as innocent and pure as snow"

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

NOTE: This is a F.R. post from yesterday, in reaction to David Shuster's "I believe Rove will be indicted" report...and they DO link to the Truthout story (see reply #4 below) AND link back to DU...

The original F.R. post:

MSNBC - David Shuster: "I am convinced that Karl Rove will, in fact, be indicted...."

there's a lot of chatter about an indicted Karl Rove - but there is little about this that the MSM is openly discussing.....This bit of a transcript is the best that my searching can find.....

I suspect that the left is putting all their hopes into this newest scandal, but like all the scandals before, this one will fail to gain any traction, since Rove is as innocent and as pure a newly fallen snow. (I know that statement sounds corney - but I believe it is true)

It's the new Fitzmas, I guess...More proof that the Dims hold on to false hope.

A side comment: since he left FOXNEWS, David Shuster has turned into the slimiest little liberal maggot on cable news. His bits on HARDBALL are slanted against the Bush administration, and he editorializes throughout his pieces. Once in a while, I'll tune in to see if Matthews is talking about something other than the Plame leak. He rarely does. Really. He was talking about the Plame leak when everybody else was focused on the NSA surveillance brouhaha.

What? That's what I say. Let's say that Rove is guilty as sin, that he had a little black book and he called everyone out there to tell them all about someone's CIA wife. Let's also say he lied to investigators. What happens? He goes to jail? Big deal. What of it? I'm sorry, but there's nothing to this story. A political gotcha doesn't make up for nearly a decade of soundly trouncing the Democrat party. There's no prize here. Are they implying that public satisfaction with the president might actually dip lower than congress? Fat chance of that. A Rove indictment makes it all that much harder for Rats to gain traction because all they have is a party of wackos waiting for camera time to chase away more voters. So indict Rove, send him to jail - it'll make the mid terms that much easier.

DU's getting their hopes up for a merry Fitzmas based on the Truthout article, FWIW. And one lefty blogger called Karl Rove's lawyer at home at 10:00PM on Saturday Night about this alleged story. Karl Rove's lawyer denied that Karl Rove has been indicted, but they still think they're getting Fitzmas after Mothers' Day.
