Vitriol, vitriol, vitriol...

Response to this week's vitriol.

Well, I've gone over the "Rove situation" (if such a thing actually exists at this point) more than enough on http://smartretorts.blogspot.com.

If Gil could pry himself away from the Democratic Underground or DailyKOS for more than two minutes, perhaps he would realize that Karl Rove learned of "the leak" from Novak. Which means all this squawking (from various locations) as Rove being Cooper's or Novak's source was much a-do about nothing, really. Then again, have we come to expect anything less other than mindless, baseless drivel based entirely on a whim?

This week's column isn't that far off the mark, but I might have gotten myself a little acknowledgement, even if someone didn't have the cajones (or smarts) to mention me by name. I'm not saying I know the source of Smart's comments, but let's just say that we all know who's referred to Gil's columns as "vitriol".

Putting that aside for a moment, I found it darn right surprising that given all of the revelations from Joe Wilson himself, that his name barely came up once in a column discussing the "Rove situation". Well, Ok. Maybe not all that surprising, because it puts the Dem story about Rove in the can. And rightfully so.

Of course, it's been established that Joe Wilson lied to us about who sent him to Niger. He lied about knowing information on Rove being a "leak".

He's told so many outright inconsistencies that it looks like he should rewrite his own book "The Politics of Truth". I guess this declared "Centrist" forgot he was a registered Democrat contributing thousands of dollars to Democratic candidate's political campaigns, including John Kerry? How "Centrist" is that?

You see, unlike some people, I have the cajones to name names. I name Joe Wilson as the likely source of the leak of his own wife's name. Who better to know the inside information than Plame's own husband?

Karl Rove seems to have the same problem as I do here - he named names ("Wilson's wife). But it was "apparently" the truth and based on logic (oh yes- that "logic" that Gil allegedly uses).

Rove, that poor man, has come under intense scrutiny for something that doesn't even appear to be a crime. And it was the TRUTH. Why?

Because he told us the truth about the story of the WMDs. And ultralibs can't stand it.

It's no surprise that Rove and others have come under the wing of the ultralib "squawk attack". That's probably just another good reason behind what happened in election '04. Let's hope they keep squawking full steam and making fools of themselves all the more.

Good job, Karl Rove. Carry on.
