Fox: Rove is "a Whistleblower"

[Mugsy]

Pardon me if this has been posted before. I'm out of town on vacation.

I was *wondering* how Fox was going to spin the Rove story and found out last night on the hotel TV: Rove is "a Whistleblower".

Yes, their spin is that Rove exposed the fact that "Wilson, who hated Bush and was out to get him, got his wife to get him the Niger assignment" and heroic Rove was exposing Wilson's agenda.

Forget the fact that none of that makes any sense at all, I just sat dumbfounded listening.

Just wanted to mention it. Gotta go. Ta.

1. No. Bush is a whistle ass

They never get anything right on Fox

(oh...if Bush is a whistle ass, and Rove is a whistle blower...AH HAAAAA!!!)

2. *lmbo*

[karlrschneider]

9. Wasn't it Chimpy who jumped on his whistle and blew his horse?

:evilgrin:

[knowbody0]

13. there's ice tea all over my keyboard!

[xray s]

15. No. He jerked the horse off

we have to keep our facts straight too, or no one will believe us

[katinmn]

3. Yeah, a whistleblower for terrorists. Guess he forgot he was American.

[Vickers]

4. Is "Whistle" some pet name for Gannon/Guckert?

:shrug:

[Mojambo]

5. ROTFLMAO

Fox does it again!

I love those guys.

[Roland99]

6. If by "whistle" you mean Jeff Gannon then, yeah, Rove's a whistleblower

[Bleacher Creature]

7. "Let's say there's a Bigot Channel."

"There is."

If you saw the Daily Show last night, you know what I'm talking about.

[karlrschneider]

12. Heh...just saw the re-run a few mins ago.

:D

[Ken Burch]

21. Stewart nailed Goldberg brilliantly!

And Goldy was left helplessly doing a slow burn!

[merwin]

14. I cracked up SOOOO much at that line

[Cha]

8. NO...rove is a

Traitor to the USA!

<<snippet>>

"The sound and fury of Rove's defenders will soon subside. The last word, the only word that matters, will belong to the prosecutor. So far, he has said very, very little. Unlike the unprofessional, inexperienced and weak Ken Starr, he does not leak illegally to the press. But he has commented publicly on his understanding of the case. "This case," he said, "is not about a whistle-blower. It's about a potential retaliation against a whistle-blower."

10. Yes, and I am a Leprechaun-from Mars-and I shit emeralds and

piss diamonds.

[Ken Burch]

22. uh...

...thank you for sharing...

[rzemanfl]

25. The bullshit is making me lose my mind. It's choice between

stuff like this and standing on a streetcorner screaming at Republicans.

[nankerphelge]

11. They are hammering the talking points to death...

no one on NPR was even questioning the demonstrably false parts of the talking points either. The plan seems to be to attack the victim... always classy. I've heard at least two republicans refer to it as a "tempest in a teapot."

[B Calm]

16. White is Black and Up is Down and a Traitor is a Whistleblower

[eleny]

17. Well, he does blow

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

19. KKKarl is proof that it's possible to suck and blow at the same time.

[Botany]

18. Pure Spin

Wilson faced down Saddam in his own office in 1990 and put
his own neck on the line to save over 700 Americans as ambassador
to Iraq.

Plame risked her life daily to protect us from WMDs as a CIA agent.

Both are HEROS ....... this is pure Rove .... attack the other person's
strength ..... i.e. Kerry's combat & McCain being a POW

I hope the media has woken up to see who the good guys are;
Wilson & Plame.

[Stirk]

20. No, Wilson is a whistleblower. Rove tried to *ruin* the whistleblower.

Big difference.

[kestrel91316]

23. Answer me this, Faux:

Exactly what serious wrongdoing did Rove expose by outing Valerie Plame?

Uh-huh. That's what I thought.

[rzemanfl]

26. Perfect squelch (do people say that anymore?) n/t

[LynnTheDem]

24. ROTFLMAO!!!

Ya gotta give them credit; while rightwingnuts are THE STUPIDEST MFers on the planet, they are also damned hilarious!

[Disturbed]

27. Rove is a hero and all in Media who do not agree

should be shot. When will the executions begin?

[gatorboy]

28. I love the new spin on this.

Previously, the Repugs argued that Plame was just a simple clerk whom wasn't a true agent , and I'd gather, had very little power in the agency.
NOW all of a sudden, she has that authority above all others to send her husband on secret missions without telling anyone! Man those clerks pack a punch! :eyes:

[SiouxJ]

29. their desperation is so pathetically obvious

even the average joe can see through this. Faux will lose more credibility and viewers by taking this approach.

[Canuckistanian]

30. He blows, all right

But it ain't no whistle.

[LSK]

31. OK, WHAT FVCKING CRIME DID ROVE STOP THEN?????

Wilson reporting that Niger did not and could not sell uranium to Iraq is what grave crime???????????????????
