| Howard Dean Sees Conspiracy In Roberts Pick |
| 2005-07-20 |
| DNC chief Howard Dean joined liberal group MoveOn.org in claiming President Bush's nomination of John Roberts was an effort to deflect attention from Plamegate. Late Tuesday Dean issued a statement blasting the Roberts nomination while questioning the timing of the announcement. "Faced with a growing scandal surrounding the involvement of Deputy White House chief of Staff Karl Rove and Vice President Cheney's Chief of Staff Lewis Libby in leaking the identity of a covert CIA operative, President Bush announced his nomination of John Roberts to the Supreme Court late this evening," Dean's statement began... |

| #20 Sounds like that Bush piced a good choice. Everyone that matters in the middle likes him apperently. |

| #19 Ahem, Charles, if I may? "That little DANCE he was DOING was AN ACT cooked up by ROVE and his KABBAL for the ENTERTAINMENT of AMERIKKKA! The "kid" is REALLY a midget ZIONIST in a child COSTUME!" - almost any DU poster |

| #18 Going after a 5-year-old Robert? That is just sick. |

| #15 Poor guy, Roberts, he has such a nice family, is a good man, but will called a mother and father raper by Dean, Schumer, Leahy & Kennedy. |

| #13 The libs are going to have to admit it sooner or later, Rove didn't break the law. Even if he gave her name, the law applies to a "covert" agent who has been working abroad within 5 years. She's a desk jockey and has been for some time. There just isn't any crime to prosecute. So why would he need to use distractions. He's just sitting back with G.W. and laughing at the democrats while they make a jackass out of themselves. |

| #12 Of course, the fact that he nominated a replacement for a Supreme Court justice who is resigning is very suspicious. No president has EVER done THAT before! Just how much weed did he & the MorOn.org guys smoke back in the 60's, anyway? Have another toke, Howie. |

| #11 Re #6: "...exactly the point, my good doctor..." What makes you think Dean's a good doctor? I suspect that a doctor who goes into politics has a few deficiencies. |

| #10 Crap like this is making it more and more embarrassing to admit that I was once a Democrat. |

| #9 Joe Lieberman likes him. Apparantly,the President did canvass a few Senators about who they liked among his nominees. |

| #7 did anyone mention to Teddy Boy that yesterday was the anniversary... No, but DU is gearing up for the third anniversary (June 23) of the Downing Street Memo. |

#6 CONSPIRACY THOERY In his speech DNC Chairman Dean held up a photo of the sunrise, and stated that, "Bush has seen to it that the sun rose in the east again. If he has such a pipeline with God, then how did I get elected DNC chairman?" .... That's exactly the point, my good doctor... |

| #5 The Dems get bored with their chewtoys quickly. Rove was going nowhere. Now they have Roberts to chew on. BTW, did anyone mention to Teddy Boy that yesterday was the anniversary of his dunking of Mary Jo at Chappaquiddick? |

| #4 the new black...lol! Actually, I was thinking it a bit odd, the dem response. Very tepid. Would have thought they'd alrealdy be wailing and lashing themselves by now. Especially since this guy appears to be a conservative's conservative. Can't be too bad since the centerist lawyer blogs seem happy with him and that despite his supposed Roe v. Wade stance and anti-gay marriage stance. Either the Dems weren't prepared for him and need more time to rally his lynch mob -or- they don't really mind him that much -or- (my personal favorite) they know they've already lost the fight and are distracting their minions with the Plame Game so as not to expose their impotence -or Or maybe he's a part of a homosexual, liberal, sleeper cell planted years ago for this very moment. conspiracy theoriese and black robes are so chic! Time will tell. |

| #3 All explanations must be based on a conspiracy these days in order to be fashionable. It's the new black. |

| #2 The donks have it bass ackwards. The Joe Plame Blame Game was just revved up by Rove to distract the press from the vetting of SCOTUS contenders by the WH. Now that we have a nominee, the Game will go into remission till Rove neds a distraction again, say just before the CJ nomination. |
