#1 Let me get my head around this. Ted Rall is lecturing me and everyone else about patriotism and the penalties for treason. When do I get the Bill Clinton abstinence lecture?

#2 Ted Rall needs to be hung for treason.

#4 "But these bête noires are guilty only of the all-American actions of criticism and dissent, not to mention speaking uncomfortable truths to liars and deniers."

Duuude, he, like, used French words and stuff. And he even rhymes. He's, like, real smart. [Fist raised] Speak Truth to Power, TedMan.

#5 Rush just pointed out the one key fact which proves Karl Rove wasn't the leaker. You think Time and Newsweek would have kept this quiet during the 2004 election if he was?

#6 The right points to critics like Michael Moore, yours truly

Not so. I never think of you, let alone point at you. Nice try, though, whoever you are.

#7 Bingo Steve! Rush makes and most valid point. Glad I hear it from you because I don't listen to him often. If you want to go looking for trators and backstabbers go loking at the Democrats you will find 99.9% are Democrats and "progressives." I am betting the "leak" is a Democrat too.

#9 
If Newsweek's report is accurate, Karl Rove is more morally repugnant and more anti-American than Osama bin Laden
Hell, this idiot (and his fellow travelers) think this regardless of Newsweek's accuracy.

Keep talking, asshole. Assure the Republicans win even more legislative seats and governorships in 2006.

#10 Good point, Barbara. Every time one of the moonbats says something like this, someone needs to hold it up to Hillary and ask, "Do you agree with this? Is Karl Rove guilty of treason?"

#11 "When do I get the Bill Clinton abstinence lecture?" I think that is right after the Ted Kennedy lecture on the evils of drinking and Robert Byrd’s oratory on civil rights for “those people.” Ok somebody stop me! The fact that Ms Plame was the CIA person, who recommended her dimwitted husband for a mission he clearly wasn’t qualified for, shows you everything you need to know about the CIA today. If they don’t like an administration they go about their duties with one hand tied behind their backs. You need someone to investigate the possible transfer of nuclear-related materials? OK our “Top Undercover Super Secret Agent” has a semi-retired husband that is spending entirely too much time around the house. So we will ship his ass over to Niger and have him look around the whorehouses and see if what he can find. Never mind that this idiot has never conducted an investigation and has NO experience with regard to nuclear material. What Goss needs to do is start a clear cut operation in the CIA and jettison the career officials that are more concerned with respect for the un and political correctness than keeping this country safe. The day that the CIA had “Gay/Lesbian” appreciation picnic should have been a clue that things were not in prospective.

#12 It's OK to accuse Rove of treason. But make sure you don't question the patriotism of any of the left-wing moonbats!

#13 Ted Rall should be forced to work harder for a living. Is that the best tripe he can cook up? Pathetic just like those who paid him to exhibit his infantile intellectual powers of deduction and persuasion. In a perfect world Ted Rall would only be paid to write technical manuals on toilet paper.

Not only that, but Rove apparently also signed waivers allowing any reporter he spoke to to give the details of their discussions.

All this "it was Rove!" bull comes from Larry "creepy liar" O'Donnel (or whatever). He's a partisan lunatic, but apparently his ejaculations are newsworthy.

The Bush "cabal?" Is it supposed to be a secret that the exectutive branch is, um, running the country?

#18 Ya know how the moonbats always accuse Bush of only ever talking to his "inner circle?" Watch a few episodes of West Wing. Do you ever see President Bartlet ever talking to anyone not on his personal staff? I don't think he even *has* a SecDef...

Byrd, you just don't get it. Never have. Never will. You're my bitch. STFU and make me some Johnny cakes 'n beans. Heavy on the bacon.

#23 Hopefully, a peice like this will embolden Harry Reid, Teddy K or Smilin' Nancy Pelosi to utter similar comments. Please, please, please! It is such obvious moonbattery that you would think that Rall is on Rove's payroll. "Say Ted, could you write something that will make the left seem, you know, completely off their meds?" "You bet Karl. I'll have it for you in a jiff."

#25 WASHINGTON — A federal prosecutor on Tuesday demanded that Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper testify before a grand jury investigating the leak of a CIA officer's identity, even though Time Inc. has surrendered e-mails and other documents in the probe. Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald also opposed the request of Cooper and New York Times reporter Judith Miller to be granted home detention — instead of jail — for refusing to reveal their sources. Allowing the reporters home confinement would make it easier for them to continue to defy a court order to testify, he said. Special treatment for journalists may "negate the coercive effect contemplated by federal law," Fitzgerald wrote in filings with the court. "Journalists are not entitled to promise complete confidentiality — no one in America is," Fitzgerald wrote.

Fitzgerald is investigating who in the administration leaked the identity of CIA officer Valerie Plame, a possible federal crime. Plame's identity was leaked days after her husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, publicly disparaged the president's case for invading Iraq. Plame's name was first published in a 2003 column by Robert Novak, who cited two unidentified senior Bush administration officials as his sources. Novak has refused to say whether he has testified or been subpoenaed.

Hint, it ain't gonna be Karl Rove, Ted.
