WTF Is It Now?!?

Attorney General closely linked to Karl Rove
'It doesn't matter what's in the deep, dark recesses of their hearts. It stinks.'

A clear conflict of interest.
Deep political ties between top White House aides and Jesus John Ashcroft have put him into a delicate position as the Justice Department begins a "full investigation" into whether administration officials illegally disclosed the name of an undercover C.I.A. officer.

Karl Rove, the unelected fraud's top political adviser, was a paid consultant to three of Ashcroft's campaigns in Missouri, twice for governor and for United States senator, in the 1980's and 1990's.

Drinky McDumbass himself salvaged Ashcroft's political career by selecting him as attorney general after Asshat lost his Senate race in 2000. To a dead man.

On Wednesday the misadministration wasted no time to find the truth ensure that no rebooblicans in Congress broke ranks and called for an independent inquiry, and it sought to portray the former diplomat at the center of the case as a partisan Democrat, even though Mr Wilson had worked for George HW Bush, and had also contributed to rethug campaigns. - - the NY Times.




Outside probe of leaks favored
Poll findings come as White House softens denials

Bush aides are trying to decide how to contain the damage. Further impugning of CIA agent's husband and feigning stupidity in the matter top the list, with lying a close second.

A survey found that 81 percent of Americans considered the matter serious, while 72 percent thought it likely that someone in the White House leaked the agent's name.

Confronted with little public support for the White House view that the investigation should be handled by the Justice Department, Bush aides began yesterday to adjust their response to the expanding probe. They reined in earlier, broad portrayals of innocence in favor of more technical arguments that it is possible the disclosure was made without knowledge that a covert operative was being exposed and therefore might not have been a crime.
