Reply #71: Rove isn't the story unless we make it so [View All]

Over and above the time it takes to dismiss Rove's comments as obviously inaccurate and disgusting spin that exemplifies how the administration will say anything and everything, any time and energy spent on rebuttal, demanding apologies, and circulating petitions BY OUR TOP DEM LEADERS is a waste of time.

I don't understand at all the effort to circulate petitions asking for Rove's resignation or apology. He's a political operative for goodness sakes! Forget about him! Responding to his baiting makes our leaders look smaller. Congressmen should not be seen in a dither about what a lower rung civilian operative is saying.

Also....Is Rove's comment more deserving of attention than any one of dozens of real issues like WMD, DSM, napalm, Abu Ghraib, deficits, environmental rape, DARFUR, Halliburton pillage, Medicare crisis, Plame, Sibel, incompetence in running the invasion, corporate giveways, etc etc? That's what I want our leaders to be upset about, organizing protests for, circulating petitions, proposing resolutions for, starting investigations for...etc.
