This just in--- Kennedy pleads guilty---Rove is innocent
anyone see the pattern here... Does not take a rocket scientist to figure it out.. The spin is in.. The Dems are guilty and the Reps are cleared.....

AP NewsBreak: Kennedy pleads guilty to DUI
ANDREW MIGA
Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Rep. Patrick Kennedy has reached a deal with prosecutors to plead guilty to a charge of driving under the influence of prescription drugs in connection for his middle-of-the-night car crash last month near the U.S. Capitol.

10. Kennedy's deal is not connected with the Plame leak, and I don't
personally feel that the timing is suspect.

I think these two matters are 100% unconnected.

13. I would have thought that too had I not just watched CNN
They're showing the two stories right next to each other.

Show video of happy, unindicted Rove, "He has a good reason to be happy", then immediately show Patrick Kennedy, "He plead guilty to DUI".

It's so obvious what they're trying to do.

16. Media juxtaposition is a problem for Dems for many years. I still
Edited on Tue Jun-13-06 11:01 AM by Old Crusoe
don't think these two stories are connected.

How they're used is one thing. That they occurred within a few days or even hours of each other is another. What Rove and Murdock seek to bind progressives may tear asunder.

5. Patrick Kennedy
He is expected to plead guilty to OWI later this PM. At least he's man enough to admit guilt.

3. Which is why I kept saying the Dems need to dump Jefferson...
Edited on Tue Jun-13-06 10:34 AM by Beelzebud
Instead the CBC is STILL defending the guy.

Kiss that whole "culture of corruption" meme goodbye.

Another lost opportunity from Pelosi/Reid.


**Edited because I'm dumb** :D

6. Nobody has said that Rove is innocent.
Luskin only said Fitz was not going to persue indictment. It has nothing to do with guilt, or not.

Rove *did* lie to investigators. He just gets to skate because he's flipped.

12. Huh?
One has nothing to do with the other. And even the MSM gets off the hook here. All they're doing is reporting these two disparate events on the same day. Hardly adds up to a conspiracy.

14. The M$M
are playing this big time.. Calling for Democrats to apologize to Karl Rove.. This is all they are talking about... Conspiracy, did I use that word? More like a mandate....

17. Not indicting doesn't mean Rove is innocent it means that there is
not enough evidence to prove his guilt conclusively.
