Al Franken says Bush Admin. is "corrupt" in "the way it uses the media"

[Eric J in MN]

Talked this morning about Jeff Gannon/Jim Guckert and the Valerie Plame leak of a CIA document to him.

Said White House used Gannon/Guckert as a ringer; knew who he was.

Wow. Rigorous Intuition has a unique angle on the White House "ringer" correspondent that retrieves from the cupboard a lurid, mostly forgotten episode from the recent past involving gay prostitutes, rumors of CIA blackmail, and a fishy suicide.

To answer that, we should probably ask the rhetorical question: what other purpose could a male prostitute possibly serve in the White House press corp? Or, I suppose, whom could he serve? (Wolf Blitzer had better be careful. His blustery defence of Gannon yesterday had the ring of someone protesting too much.)

Which brings us to that Craig Spence fellow...

This administration is just plain corrupt. Period.

6. I'd call the Bush Administration CRIMINAL in intentionally manipulating,..

,...the public at large. The Bush Administration has proven a pattern of manipulative deception. The Bush Administration is committing fraud against the American people.
