Fires Of Democratic Witch Hunt Fizzle...
...And No Apologies Likely Forthcoming
So. It wasn't the hated Karl Rove 'with a KKK'. It was Joe Wilson's entry in Who's Who in America... his vanity... that provided a name for columnist Robert Novak for his July 14, 2003 article wherein the terms Valerie Plame and CIA Agent were fatefully connected.
Robert Novak falls short of naming his 'primary' source, but does list Rove and Bill Harlow as corroborating sources. Who is the primary source? Mr. Novak isn't yet saying, accept to say the name came up during a long conversation with "an official who [I] have previously said was not a political gunslinger." [emphasis mine]
Two statements thus far seem to contradict each other. Was it Mr. Wilson's entry in Who's Who in America wherein Novak first learned the name of Valerie Plame? Or was it in conversation with a non political-gunslinger?
What would prompt Novak to crack open Who's Who in America, unless it was to ferret out the particulars of a specific name's education, degrees, accomplishments, etc.? Did he first learn the name Valerie Plame from a casual perusal of Who's Who in America, or from the as of yet unnamed 'Primary' source... which is not Karl Rove.
According to Novak's long awaited disclosure, it is his belief that Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald's complete lack of indictments of the three men in question indicates Fitzgerald does not believe any of the three violated the Intelligence Identities Protection Act. And the only person indicted thus far in this whole affair is I 'Scooter' Libby, who will likely not even be convicted of the charges against him, namely, Perjury.
That won't keep the Leftist Media Propaganda Machine from spinning Novak's article to imply it says pretty much what they've believed all along, that Rove is a bad guy, and should step down before Bush can keep his promise to fire anyone in his administration found to have broken the law. Nevermind the fact that no law has obviously been broken-- that little fact won't matter to the Propaganda Machine.
No one will suggest Joe Wilson brought all this upon himself and his wife, to say nothing of Novak or his primary, and secondary sources. Nor is it likely we will be reminded that it was the very same Joe Wilson who said he wanted to see Rove "Frog Marched" out of the White House in handcuffs, for outing his undercover 'secret agent girl' of a wife.
You can certainly expect to hear nothing that remotely resembles an apology. What you will hear and read about is a lot of angry liberal-extremists trying to keep the bonfires hot with rhetoric and fresh conspiracy theories.
These are the same people who call those of us on the right 'Extreme' and 'Radical'.

Both extremes *are* extreme and radical, by definition.
Seven minutes of hearing about this on TV last night was too much. Scarborough, who I believe more than most (because as a former congressm,an, he's "been there") was pretty worked up about it, though.
"extreme and radical, by definition."
No argument from me. But as to Scarborough, what specifically was he worked up over?
