RNC talking points this morning - Rove was a consumer, not a producer...

[kentuck]

of the leak. Just heard on MSNBC. He had heard it from another reporter but he couldn't recall the name. Interesting that the RNC feels inclined to defend Rove this AM... :)

1. They must be getting dizzy from all the spinning

:crazy:

[tanyev]

They could teach these guys a thing or two.

[MindPilot]

2. Could that be why Miller is in jail?

Although that would imply that Rover is telling the truth, and the last time I checked the temperature in hell, it was still pretty warm.

Maybe that is all part of the set-up. :tinfoilhat:

Edited to adjust tinfoil hat.

8. If there is any truth to this (ROVE) lawyer leaked nonsense,

and I seriously doubt it, then I speculate that

Rove told Miller, who told Novak, who called Rove, who said "I Heard that TOO!!!!"

OTOH I think this is just more Rove Lawyer BS to replace supplement "I didn't leak her name>'

[kentuck]

10. I had not heard it was "Rove's lawyer" ...

Or even a lawyer --only that it was a "legal" person...

[emulatorloo]

12. I'm speculating, but it seems pretty tied to Rove legal team -- who

else would leak this?


As this DU'er points out:

All these stories about ROVE LEARNED FROM JOUNALIST come from one source

13. You bring up an interesting point

If he wasn't the source of the leak, then why did his camp insist that he "didn't leak her name?" You would think that they wouldn't try to manuver around the law if he didn't do anything in the first place. But they're caught in a trap. Their previous round of bullshit contradicts the latest. I just hope it's not too much to ask that someone in the media call them on this.

3. I wonder if they'll convince Novak to fall on his sword

or maybe they'll try to convince people "it's a librul conspiracy".

[tridim]

7. Too late.. Rush has been saying it's a "Librul conspiracy"

for at least a week.

Libruls made Rove leak Plame's ID. Yep, that's the ticket. I hear they also made BushCo lie about the reasons for the war in Iraq.

[Norquist Nemesis]

15. What's his rationale for Libruls making Rove do that?

I'm all for free speech. Brain-washing through propaganda is a whole 'nother matter.

[MindPilot]

9. According to Randi, Novak has already told all

so he is free and clear. I don't know one way or another except that Randi probably has way more reliable sources than I do.

[asjr]

11. I wonder if Novak has made a statement refuting Rove's

statement that Novak told him about Plame. Novak can be very stupid but I do not know if he will let this go by. They all keep changing their stories to confuse us.

[fob]

17. There's a quote from him somewhere where he says he(nofacts)

didn't dig up the name that they(senior WH officials) gave it to HIM and he ran with it.

Sounds like roveco has decided it's bob that's lying.

[bushisanidiot]

4. Poor innocent Pig Boy. He'd never tell a lie, would he?

the "architect" would never DREAM of deceiving anyone or manipulating the situation to make someone ELSE look bad, would he?

gawd, this guy's lies are looking more pitiful every day. but I'M LOVING IT!!!

[Goldeneye]

5. They better pick something and stick with it.

They're going to confuse the ditto heads.

[Tamarin]

6. They're beginning to trip themselves up as the lies evolve,

How could someone who *didn't know her name* then reveal said name?

[MindPilot]

14. Republican logic.

Again, according to Randi, she said on her show yesterday Rove and the Wilsons attended the same church. They had to know each other.

[fob]

19. Why you big silly! Because "everyone knew she was covert, it was

all over Washington**."

**Even though it was all over Washington for this excuse, somehow rove, who attends the same church as the Wilsons did NOT know, because if he did then this excuse is no longer operable

[ClassWarrior]

16. So who did the reporter hear it from? Hmmmm... maybe CHENEY??

NGU.

[glarius]

18. Why would he not have come forward at the beginning of all this and said

so, if it's true that Rove learned of Plame's identity from a journalist....Why is this "fact" only coming out after 2 years?....Seems pretty fishy to me!....:shrug:
