Some of the denials, other comments, at media briefings by White House spokesman Scott McClellan when asked by reporters whether President Bush's top political adviser, Karl Rove, was involved in the leak of a CIA officer's identity:

Sept. 29, 2003

Q: You said this morning, quote, "The president knows that Karl Rove wasn't involved." How does he know that?

A: Well, I've made it very clear that it was a ridiculous suggestion in the first place. ... I've said that it's not true. ... And I have spoken with Karl Rove.

Q: It doesn't take much for the president to ask a senior official working for him, to just lay the question out for a few people and end this controversy today.

A: Do you have specific information to bring to our attention? ... Are we supposed to chase down every anonymous report in the newspaper? We'd spend all our time doing that."

1. Excellent. Gave it a 5! nt

[FormerRepublican]

2. Finally - the media is starting to tell the real story!

Heh - squirm, Rove, squirm while you wait for Fitzgerald to indict you!

This has been a VERY good day!

That'll learn the Bush Administration that it's not nice to fool the CIA and put reporters in jail.

37. more than just ROVE

while I'm happy to see the press finally finding their teeth - they are still only focused on one tiny part of the big lie

3. Transcript of the conversation

Q: You have said that you personally went to Scooter Libby (Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff), Karl Rove and Elliott Abrams (National Security Council official) to ask them if they were the leakers. Is that what happened? Why did you do that? And can you describe the conversations you had with them? What was the question you asked? . . .


*: Any of you guys know whe outed that Plame person?

KKK. R.: Depend's on what the meaning of "out" is. . .

[mom cat]

13. "out" is a very elusive concept bearing some relation to "in" which

is equally elusive, just as "is" is. Welcome to DU mikeididdy!
:hi: ...Hi is not elusive..it means glad to have you around!

4. This is really beginning to take off.

I'm not complaining, mind you.. I'm just slightly surprised.

8. Genuine LOL for your graphic.

9. Thank you.

15. What does the "E" stand for Mr. Newman

:rofl: Mr. War Presnit - :rofl: :rofl:

22. I've often seen this picture of *

And I've wondered on what occasion was it taken? It's one of the most telling photographs of the state of *'s soul I've ever seen and I don't understand why other people (besides us) realize what a spoiled, crazy, petulant person he is.

I was around (albeit young) during Nixon and I saw the same trend but I think it's worse now because so many people have PTSD from 9/11 and don't realize what it is so they drink the Kool-Aide like it's Mother's Milk.

5. Very nice. And from the AP too...

7. Blood in the water.

Just a matter of time now.

18. Will Bush say, "Good-bye, old Chum"?

[katty]

23. 'Turdblossom' rove won't go out with a whimper

don't think they will lock him up-too bad he will still be on the loose.

[tabasco]

41. I think the only way Rove stays out of jail is a pardon.

This was a serious breach of national security.

One of our top agents working on the spread of nuclear materials was compromised.

But then again, nobody had sex, so maybe it's no big deal.

[Jackpine Radical]

34. ROFL

:rofl:

[Barrett808]

10. Done. Rating 4.5 with 254 votes n/t

[WhiteTara]

36. hmm...it remains 4.5 at 1065

wonder if that is the highest allowable vote?
:eyes:

[TahitiNut]

11. Between Oct. 10, 2003 and July 11, 2005 (21 months!) ...

... there's no record of the White House prostitutes press having asked a single question regarding the Plame retaliation and career assassination? Not one? Is that why the stenographers presstitutes couldn't figure out when McClellan might have gotten direction to make no comment on an "on-going criminal investigation"??

Bush* lawyered up.
Cheney lawyered up.
Rove lawyered up.
Who else lawyered up?

The Fitzgerald federal grand jury probe has now taken longer than all of Watergate! And no questions?

The fucking corruption is beyond obscene!

[lovuian]

19. It is Obscene and to think we went through hell for a blue dress

and this is even worse than that!!!

21. I can only say one thing

Dance Chicken dance

Did you see that chicken dance?

12. How does it feel to be the mouth for

a pack of lying traitorous criminals Scotty?
You must go through a case of Listerine every day!

[Catfight]

14. CNN took the Rove story off but kept the bogus BS story of Hillary.

I will no longer captilize cnn, it's not a legit news outlet.

20. Excellent! Man some days it's nice to see the press find their backbones

[cal04]

24. How about when bringing up our National security also

bring up the fact that she was working with WMD's.
They can use them to lie us into a war, but yet forget the fact that this is what she was working with.


A July 11, 2003 e-mail from Cooper to his bureau chief indicated that Rove had told Cooper that it was Wilson's wife who authorized her husband's trip to Niger, mentioning that she "apparently" worked at the CIA on weapons of mass destruction issues. Newsweek reported that nothing in the Cooper e-mail suggested that Rove used Plame's name or knew she was a covert operative.

25. With all due respect to Ron Ziegler

When he was confronted with an obvious prevarication
(putting it mildly) he would simply respond "That statement
is no longer operational." It will be interesting what
response McClellan will come up with when faced with the
same situation. Hope the MSM have enough courage to
keep his feet to the fire. They will, I'm sure, be
offered many occasions in the very near future by
keeping this situation on the front burner.

[drfresh]

26. Drudge says tuesday's New York Times will...

..call for Rove to resign on the front page.

"Top editors of the NY TIMES made the decision Monday afternoon to turn up the heat on White House adviser Karl Rove.

The TIMES is planning to lead Tuesday editions with growing calls for Rove's resignation, newsroom sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT..."

40. Didn't see it in the NY Times today-maybe they copped out at the last min.

Btw, welcome to DU drfresh! :hi:

[Olney Blue]

27. Thanks, maddezmom.

Glad I'm not Scott McClellan!


:popcorn:

[maddezmom]

28. glad I'm not Karl Rove

or a repub for that matter :D

[candy331]

29. So Rove is going to get tossed, you know I can't help wonder what

is behind the tossing. Has he used up his usefulness. I don't trust that bunch in DC and am always suspicious as to why they are doing something since it is always CYA for them.

[lonestarnot]

30. Calling all liars! All liars currently occupying the Big White House!

Get out NOW! We the American People know who you are! Come out with your hands up. The building is surrounded! HHHEHEHEHEH LOL

[splat@14]

31. Scotty needs "beamed up".

[hedgetrimmer]

32. C-H-I-N-A

george is coming down because he let china get to far...

[natrat]

33. should i now get a newsweek /time subscription?

screw the nyt ....so confused....will "they" take out that scumbag cheney? tune in daily as the saga continues

[LeftHander]

35. We've known all along it was KKKarl...

Look back into the Plame threads of last year....from H20Man...

It was pretty much determined that rove was the leaker and Cheney knew as well...

So hang on to your hats kids...the real proof is flying around now and we've all waited for the shit to hit the fan...and we will see indictments yet....If Rove gets indicted he will roll over like the squeling pig he is...and give up Cheney to save his ass....

Because we ALL KNOW who is the evilest DICK in the White House....

We all knew the Plame Affair was going to bring this corrupt white house down.

[deacon]

38. excellent-- a saver n/t

[Bassic]

39. Could this story really damage Rove? I still doubt it

I keep expecting the WH to throw out a pardon to Rove or to just bully everyone into dropping the story or something.

And I have a question. Cooper said he would reveal his source to the Grand Jury, did he do that already? Do we know what he said exactly?

[jazzjunkysue]

42. 1556 votes. Keep going! 5, baby, 5!!!!

:bounce:

[GOPFighter]

43. I hope Scotty McClellan goes too!

Either he knowingly lied or administration officials lied to him. If he lied to the press the press should demand his resignation. If administration officials lied to him, he should resign in protest (if he has an ounce of integrity).
