DEMS TOLD: KEEP TALKING ABOUT ROVE
Thu Jul 21 2005 10:00:07 ET

Less than 15 hours after President Bush announced that John Roberts would be his nominee for the Supreme Court, leading Democrats stood before a bank of television cameras Wednesday and criticized the president.

But their ire had nothing to do with Roberts.

Sen. Barbara Boxer and Rep. Jane Harman assailed the president for failing to punish Karl Rove for his alleged involvement in disclosing the name of a CIA operative.

ROLL CALL reports: "In a set of talking points issued Wednesday morning, the Senate Democratic leadership urged rank-and-file Senators to continue spotlighting Rove's involvement in the leaking of CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity. 'A Supreme Court nominee will not distract the country from the growing credibility problem at the White House,' Democrats were told to echo."

#3  got to keep the children busy making puppets. Looks to me like they can't do squat about the Roberts nomination. The response has been so tepid that you have to wonder why. Maybe because Bush did his homework and the votes are already counted. By keeping the focus on Rove, it won't expose how weak they are.

An interesting thought...not enough people to float Air America. NYT, WAPO, etc are tanking BIG time. The Dhimmi underground and move on .org are getting poor participation from their well organized efforts. I cruised the DU fever swamps and their well organized action teams only got 42 letter to the editors sent through out the US re: Rove. That's pretty damn lame for the money and organization involved. These guys are a sinking ship and they have to know it. Notice how they aren't organizing any marches? Why? Cause no one is showing up and it exposes their weakness. The best they can do these days is to get the organizers and a few nutbags and set the camera angle to make it look like their are more than 15 showing up. Only the publically funded NPR, BBC and trust funds can manage to keep their dinosaur ideology on the air.

Nobody is listening anymore. And those that are listening are starting to be embarrassed and hold their tounges. Their ship is sinking fast...expect the rat evacuation to commence soon.

#2  Now that the nomination is announced, Rove has litle incentive to make more leaks to the press and the story will die until Rove needs to rev it up again or the final report is ready from the special counsel. It astounds me how Rove has played Rope-a-Dope with the donks on this one. They really are that dumb.

They were Hitler and Stalin.
