Luskin's Not Pissed At Fitz - He's Pissed at The Blogosphere

Rove Case Lawyer Blackberries Karl: ‘Fitzgerald Called’

Robert Luskin Sends Bush’s Brain Message on Plane: ‘Case Over’; Attacks Blogosphere


...............

Actually, it’s the media—not the prosecutor’s office—that he’s angry at, and especially the bloggers. Mr. Luskin was eager to portray the suffering of his client as a function of media attention and speculation, rather than real danger of a conviction.

Mr. Rove, Mr. Luskin said, had fallen victim to partisans and—more importantly—the bloggers who became their enablers.

“It seems to me that there are lots of constituencies who have treated this as the story too good not to be true,” he said. “And people have all had their own reasons—whether they’re political, whether they have to do with opportunities to put themselves forward personally, whether or not they are motivated by efforts to show up the mainstream media.”

The criticism of blogging, in fact, goes right to the story of the White House’s relationship with reporters in the “mainstream media.”

2. To quote another liar - "boo fricking hoo."
Luskin is doing his job and the bloggers are doing MSM's job. Don't like it? Stay home. He is just upset that KKKarl's little plan to plant story in the MSM and then walk away isn't working. Bloggers are giving him headaches.

KKKarl squealed and now he is trying to put lipstick on that pig. Keep this story going - he still outed an agent, he still lied to the American people and Chucklenuts and the GOP are still using him to spread hate.

Get use to the bloggers - "Boo fricking hoo."

7. Actually,
he just should have said "truthout.org and Jason Leopold," and then burst into laughter.

That pretty much would have summed it up.

The blogosphere has taken a hit because of their antics, I believe.

The traditional media is no better.

But, Luskin has every reason to laugh at all of them, and I hope he's taking the time to do it today.

8. Just because he wasn't indicted doesn't mean he isn't guilty
Stupid ass lawyer. Don't wait for my apology. Your client is a traitor and smells like OJ Simpson. Don't try and deflect his shit on me and others who continue to say so.

10. It also doesn't mean Rove won't be testifying. Will some mediawhore ask
whether Rove will be testifying in the future? Lot's more opportunity to nail Rove for perjury if that is the case.

BTW, what WAS the context of that letter you got from Fitz, Luskin?

Was that letter a response to something YOU asked?

What did the rest of the letter say?

We all have seen what the GOP does to phrases taken out of context.

11. "Fallen victim" Rove has never been a victim, he's a victimizer.

12. the fact that luskin is so pissed specifically at the blogosphere...
...suggests to me that there may be some truth in the idea that leopold was misled by by rove. luskin/rove have no reason to pissed at the lapdog msm. by reprting so prominently the mistakes of the blogosphere they seem to be working hand-in-hand with rove to discredit the blogosphere. the blogosphere is many things but it certainly does contain real fighters against this corrupt administration and it behooves them to attack it. qui bono?

14. I am pissed at the M$M
which paved the way for the Iraq war and deaths of people.. Yes the deaths of actual people occurred because of their reporting.

I am pissed at the M$M for reporting the miners were alive, when in fact they were dead.

I am pissed at the MSM and WH conspiracy to out a CIA agent and causing deaths, yes more deaths...


I am disappointed with TO and Leopold's story, very disappointed, but pissed I am not...
