Rove v Crazed
Thanks to Dave for alerting me to this Ann Coulter column:
...Driven by that weird obsession liberals have of pretending they are Republicans in order to attack Republicans, Wilson implied he had been sent to Niger by Vice President Dick Cheney. Among copious other references to Cheney in the op-ed, Wilson said that CIA "officials asked if I would travel to Niger to check out the story" that Saddam Hussein had attempted to buy uranium from Niger, "so they could provide a response to the vice president's office."...
...Dick Cheney responded by saying: "I don't know Joe Wilson. I've never met Joe Wilson. I don't know who sent Joe Wilson. He never submitted a report that I ever saw when he came back." Clown Wilson's allegation that Cheney had received his (unwritten) "report" was widely repeated as fact by, among others, The New York Times...
...So liberals were allowed to puff up Wilson's "report" by claiming Wilson was sent "by the CIA." But...Republicans were not allowed to respond by pointing out Wilson was sent to Niger by his wife, not by the CIA and certainly not by Dick Cheney...
...Wilson's report was a hoax. His government bureaucrat wife wanted to get him out of the house, so she sent him on a taxpayer-funded government boondoggle.
That was the information Karl Rove was trying to convey to the media by telling them, as described in the notes of Time reporter Matt Cooper: "big warning"! Don't "get too far out on Wilson."...
...Rove had simply said Wilson went to Niger because of his wife, not his skill, expertise or common sense. It was the clown himself who outed his wife as an alleged "covert" agent by saying he was not recommended by his wife...

This Dave sounds like a smart guy
Its really a joke to turn to Ann Coulter when looking for facts. But here are some if you are interested:
-Valerie Plame didn't have the authority in the CIA to authorize the trip, therefore she did not send him. She may have recommended him since he was the former US Ambassador to Iraq under the first President Bush during the first Gulf War and knew alot of the right people in Africa and had a lot of connections so that he could get to the bottom of things.
-Cheney told the CIA he wanted to find out if these reports were correct. But apparently didn't wait to hear the results before claiming to the world they were true.
-It is proven that the basis of rumors that Iraq was buying uranium from Niger was from FORGED documents given to the Italian news agencies back in 2002. Hmm, interesting.
Go ahead and double check if you think I'm full of shit. My research is much better than those simply popping off at the mouth without looking into anything which Ann Coulter and the rest are good at.
Maggie,
What does the D.I. stand for?
For the record, I don't look to Ann Coulter for facts. I look to Ann Coulter for an amusing look at the facts. But, you can say what you want about her, they are still facts.
I don't know what Rove told the grand jury, but I do think he (unlike Bill Clinton) is too smart to lie to one. I accept that I may be wrong about that, in which case Rove will be fired and (like Bill Clinton) he'll get a huge advance to write his memoires. But, lying to a grand jury is the only possible thing on which you lefties will be able to get him.
