Mr. President, It is known that Karl Rove shopped the identity
of Ambassador Wilson's wife to the media. Surely, you know this to be true now...My question is:
WHY did Rove shop this around?
What purpose was served telling reporters that the man who proved your claims were a lie was married to a CIA operative?

What did Rove mean when he said Valerie Plame was "fair game?"

Now that it is known that Rove acted unethically and possibly illegally, are you going to fire him as you assured all America that you would fire whomever leaked the Plame information to the media?

President Bush, did you then or are you now participating in a coverup in the wake of the Rove affair?

1. Mr. Bush were you present at any meeting in which this plan was discussed?
Did you have any foreknowledge?

2. The ghost of Nixon
It was just this kind of thing that brought down Nixon. And Nixon won reelection in a landslide. If Nixon could be brought down by a lesser scandal, what chance does George "Slightly-More-Than-Half" Bush have if people stand up and notice?

If it were not for the lapdog nature of the GOP Congress, he'd be gone already. :nuke:

3. republicans in control won't do shit....mid term elections is the key
Dems take control of the house and hold hearings on Downing street memo, Rove, etc.

4. bush is more like nixon than we know,IMO
I think he is behind a lot of the dirty tricks - dirty politics is one of the few subjects he really knows, one of his only actual skills. I bet we find out he gave more direction in this than in any thing else in his whole administration.
