I just got off the phone with Karl Rove, who said your wife was fair game.



Newsweek
Oct. 8, 2003

But after the Novak column ran, Wilson says, he got plenty of calls. As NEWSWEEK reported in this week’s issue, Andrea Mitchell called him on Sunday, July 20, and told him that she “heard in the White House that people were touting the Novak column and that was the real story.” The next day, July 21, Wilson got a call from MSNBC’s “Hardball” host Chris Matthews, who told him that “I just got off the phone with Karl Rove, who said your wife was fair game.” (A source familiar with Rove’s conversation acknowledged the call but insisted that Rove put it differently: that it was “reasonable to discuss who sent Wilson to Niger.”)

2. Isikoff was on The Daily Show last night.
He is such a great man. It's amazing how the White House has avoided any indictment at this point. Isikoff pointed out, and I know we all agree, that if Fitzgerald doesn't have a GOOD case and have some indictments to hand down after sending one reporter to jail and threatening to send another, he will be surprised.

4. Isikoff is slime.
Isikoff is the reporter who broke the Monica story after getting in bed with Linda Tripp and Lucianne Goldberg. I have no respect for Michael Isikoff.

6. Don't sugar coat it, sweetie.
He made some very good points and I DO agree with him on this.

8. I'm not sure what you mean by that.
But you DID post a link to his article. If you think he is slime, would you say you are advocating this particular article?

9. he acts on his show like he don't know nuthin'
It's almost hard to believe he had the decency to phone Wilson at all.

11. We Don't Know...
Word is he was "interviewed"...which could mean a couple of Fitzgerald's people stopped by with a couple question. But I have a feeling Tweety had to take a seat and tell the fine folks of the grand jury what he knew.

Notice Tweety wasn't on last night? Methinks his bosses know he's up to his eyeballs in this mess and they're keeping too close to this story. His show on Wedenday where he all but whitewashed the whole thing musta sent up a lot of red flags.

I'd love to see all these "mediatypes" hauled onto a stand and compelled to testify to their role in enabling and abeting both this regime and its immoral war.

These people don't care about the country...all they care about is their power, access and egos.

15. Wonder if he will have that same smile in a jail cell?
I suspect he will. Afterall he and Gannon were VERY tight.
