| I have to say dear reader that it took me ten minutes to figure out
how to begin this article. How does one begin a piece about the end of the
Valerie Plame affair? Affair is the appropriate word considering all the
drama the liberals created over what was really nothing at all. It was in
a word hysterical. The usual words were thrown out there by the left.
Nazi, dictator, treason, you know the routine. Everyone from one side of
the Democratic party to the other called for the head of Karl Rove and if
Karl Rove is guilty than President Bush has to be as well. Of course I
don't have to mention Dick Cheney. He is guilty of everything from being
wealthy to biting the heads of hamsters. Conservatives took the sane and responsible route. Firstly pointing out that no laws were broken and then waiting for the Prosecutor to finish his investigation. We dismissed all the liberal accusations as pure fantasy. Three years on we have been proven right. I have been perusing the Democratic websites. KOS, MOVEON, DU and the like. There was no mention of the revelation that Colin Powell's assistant Richard Armitage was the official leakier. It's no longer important to the Chris Mathews of the world whether or not Valerie Plame was a covert agent because the Bush Administration cannot be harmed in any way. I was expecting some conspiracy theories from the KOS crowd. When Karl Rove was cleared the new left blogsphere claimed it was all a lie and that Roves lawyer made the story up. A week later the new left was claiming Fitzgerald dropped Rove from the case so he could go after Cheney. However at this point they have responded with silence. They must know they are beaten...again. I'm sure deep down inside they believe Rove is guilty but the fact remains that we now know Bush was kept in the dark about Richard Armitage, even the liberals know when to shut up. I wonder if, in a spate of irony these idiots feel idiotic...Jack cafferty said on air he hopes to see Karl Rove frog marched in front of the cameras. The night before the prosecutor of prosecutors was to announce the indictment of Rove an ABC story reported Rove would be indicted on no less than 21 charges. Then there is that idiot from Truthout who had the liberal media in a frenzy about two months ago when he claimed a Rove indictment was imminent. She still stands by that claim. That's one dumb liberal. Then of course there are the MSNBC crowd who constantly harped on how this would bring down the Bush Administration. I'm not really that bothered by them as they have an audience of seven. There are more people in my pub on a Monday night than viewers of Keith Overbites program. Other than Nora O'Donnell, Monica Crowley, and Rita Crosby there is nothing attractive about MSNBC. Chris Mathews has been adamant that everything will bring down George Bush. The war, Katrina, Harriet Miers, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston. Ole George seems to be hanging in there. One has to wonder what his numbers would have been if the liberal media had not portrayed Joe Wilson as anything other than a glorified toilet attendant. Ambassador Wilson was never an Ambassador to begin with. So what are we left with? Karl Rove was never in the picture, George Bush, and Dick Cheney were never in the picture. No one was because The prosecutors prosecutor knew from day one it was Richard Armitage. oops... So are we frog marching our way to an apology? Never. Liberals are an arrogant lot. The media is now spinning this by demanding in investigation into the investigation. That’s easier than saying we were wrong. We wanted Rove in jail We still want him in jail but we have to admit he is innocent. The whole premise of their argument was Bush ordered Rove to leak Plames name in retaliation for her husbands scathing op ed in the New York Times. We now know Sadaam did try to buy uranium. We know Wilson never submitted a report. We know Plame was not outed. And we know no one in the Bush administration is quilty of anything. All we have is yet another attempt to criminalize Conservatism. It's difficult to close a case that never actually got underway. But hey, we will always have big oil... -Bert |
