From the March 10 edition of Fox News' On the Record with Greta Van Susteren:

He uses multiple excuses to pretend he's innocent. He's not.
You're lucky someone leaked info to YOU that they likely shouldn't have so that you were able to go back to the Grand Jury and LIE about what you knew and what you did and how your memory suddenly improved.
With thinking like that there's little wonder why so many fell for that all too ridiculous, "Obama wants to ban fishing!" story.
Rove said "Oh, I heard that too" AFTER Novak told him what Armitage said. The Wilson/Plame goons were trying to gin up a scandal for political and personal gain. If they value privacy, why appear on teh cover of Vanity Fair and write a book?
Wilson went to Niger, sat by a poolside whilst drinking mint tea for 48 hours, and concluded Saddam did not try to guy yellowcake uranium when in fact he did.
This entire "scandal" was nothing but a political hit job on the Bush administratin by a group fo peace-nik liberals. Pathetic!
Scooter was a convenient fall guy. Scooter never leaked anyone's identity. He forgot what he said to whom and when? Bush was cowardly not to pardon him. Wilson lied and triggered an expensive investigation in which an innocent man was convicted.
What crime did Wilson comimt? Obstruction of Justice.
Read Joseph Wilson's op-ed piece, read it right now while the above video clip is still fresh in your ears...

It's the single thing that would pizz rove off most of all, in response to this noise, if he knew you immediately went and read (or even re-read) the op-ed piece which was the whole reason they made so much noise about Joseph Wilson's wife, that reason being to distract you from "What I Didn't Find In Africa."
Read it, read it NOW, that's an order!
Rove's pudgy butt belongs in prison.
When it comes to leaks, there isn't a checkered flag for the first guy over the finish line. EVERYONE who leaks is wrong.
The reasons are obvious. Multiple leaks serve as confirmation to people who might be skeptical of the first one. One leak of a small piece of data, when combined with other small leaks can help the person who accumulates them create a complete picture.
There's NO QUESTION what happened here. NONE. Cheney's own notes make it clear that Cheney orchestrated the leak of a covert CIA operative's identity. He had it executed by directing Libby to go to Rove, fLIEscher and others in the administration. Those individuals then shopped the leak around town until they got journalists to bite.
There are numerous journalists who also lied about their involvement in the Plame leak -- Judith Miller, Matt Cooper,
Viveca Novak, Robert Novak, Tim Russert, Chris Matthews, Andrea Mitchell and others conducted themselves shamelessly by repeating the leak to each other, publishing it, and/or falsely publishing "who's the leaker?" stories as though they didn't know.
The whole reason Libby went on trial and was willing to go to jail was that he was lying to hide the involvement of Cheney, Rove and Fliescher.
Rove is a congenital, compulsive, sociopathic liar, just like every other person who worked for George W. Bush. Rove lies about everything. He lies all the time.
The only question about the lies that Rove's committed to print is whether the media will call "bullsh*t!" on his falsehoods, or whether they will continue to abet him. Since acknowledging his lies means admitting to theirs, I think we can safely predict the outcome.
Setting the record straight: Rove was Novak's 2nd source, Armitage was his first source. Apparently, Armitage didn't know Valerie Plame was a covert agent, he thought she was an analyst.
Rove was Matt Cooper's (of Time Magazine)source.
Court documents revealed Fitzgerald considered perjury charges against Rove because at first he didn't reveal his contact with Matt Cooper.
The man is a scumbucket.
