Lewis "Scooter" Libby were not involved in the leak of her identity. However, Armitage's role as Novak's first source is not inconsistent with Rove's and Libby's involvements in the leak -- both were original sources of the information for two other reporters. http://mediamatters.org/items/200609010001 Thu, 31 Aug 2006 21:39:26 EST Podhoretz on Hillary Clinton's "virtues": "I use the B-word to describe her" because she "has qualities that we commonly associate with being unfeminine" http://mediamatters.org/items/200605100008 New York Post columnist John Podhoretz discussed his new book, Can She Be Stopped? Hillary Clinton Will Be the Next President of the United States Unless ..., on Hannity & Colmes and acknowledged that he used the "B-word" to describe Sen.

Lewis "Scooter" Libby, "to give any classified material they want to a reporter." Similarly, in his New York Post column, John Podhoretz, citing a 1982 executive order, claimed that President Bush "can declassify a document merely by declaring it unclassified." http://mediamatters.org/items/200604070008 Fri, 7 Apr 2006 15:20:30 EST Podhoretz said Democrats calling Bush "incompetent" would turn off voters, ignored polls that say many voters already think Bush is "incompetent" http://mediamatters.org/items/200603220007 New York Post columnist John Podhoretz described Democrats' use of the term "incompetent" to describe President Bush as "an act of political cowardice," adding, "voters can smell that kind of cowardice a mile off." But a poll by the Pew Research Center reported that "incompetent" was the most frequently cited one-word description for Bush, and that, overall, negative impressions of Bush -- measured by respondents' selection of words such as "incompetent," "idiot" or "liar" to describe Bush -- outweighed positive ones, 48 percent to 28 percent. http://mediamatters.org/items/200603220007 Wed, 22 Mar 2006 13:36:16 EST
