"Rosebud knows" (Cheney) Must READ!

Deciphering the code to Plame affair

I feel it’s time for me to step forward and tell what I know about Karl Rove’s conversation with columnist Robert Novak in which Mr. Novak reportedly told Mr. Rove that CIA operative Valerie Plame had been responsible for her husband Joseph Wilson going to Niger to debunk the White House’s claim that Saddam Hussein was shopping for uranium in Africa to make nuclear weapons and that’s why we invaded Iraq, and Mr. Rove said, “Yes, I’ve heard that, too.” Mr. Rove has been accused of revealing the identity of a covert intelligence officer. This simply isn’t true.

I happened to be in Mr. Rove’s office when the phone rang. I was there on behalf of my publisher, to see if Mr. Rove knows enough to make him worth a $6 million advance on his memoirs. (Answer: Not really.) He picked up the phone and the voice at the other end sounded like a rat trapped in a coffee can. “Novak,” whispered Mr. Rove and he pretended to stick a finger down his throat. He listened for several minutes. “Yes, I’ve heard that, too,” he said.

As he spoke to Novak, Mr. Rove wrote on a notepad, “Rosebud knows” – “Rosebud” being Vice President Cheney’s code name?– and winked at me.

Is this real?

especially this part:
As a young man, under cover of the National Guard, Mr. Bush had masterminded a clandestine CIA operation that infiltrated a ring of draft-dodgers and gathered important information about them, such as which bars they frequented and how much they drank. He is comfortable in an undercover role. He has cut many trails through the brush at his Crawford ranch and can slip undetected over the Mexican border while his double, an El Paso Realtor named Craig Selin, stands in for him at press conferences and other ceremonial events.


:rofl:

This raised a question: Did Rove know Ms. Plame had taken the identity of Mr. Cheney during an arrhythmia episode at Walter Reed and that a heavily sedated vice president had been flown by the CIA to Riyadh as Ms. Plame donned a latex-padded suit and took his place? She quickly discovered that the uranium was stored at the Whitewater property once owned by the Clintons and then deeded to Kofi Annan and used as a supply depot for black helicopters. She tried to warn Mr. Clinton and the next day he had that mysterious “bypass” operation after which he suddenly got chummy with ex-CIA chief George H.W. Bush and the two flew off to Southeast Asia like in an old Crosby/Hope “Road” picture.

Garrison Keller is a scream.

and then deeded to Kofi Annan and used as a supply depot for black helicopters."

Combining the Clintons, Whitewater, the UN, and the infamous black helicopters all at once :)

idea what this guy's saying. I know it's tongue and cheek, but that's as far as my comprehension goes. Anyone crack the code for me?

This story would have been "leaked" and then appear in an article in the Washington Moonie Times and mentioned on C-SPAN...there it would be picked up by the hate radio goons...each embellishing and distoring the story further...all with the same bottom line: smear Berger. By afternoon Wolfie has picked up on it and it's a major story..."the allegations a senior Democrat has compromised national security"...and then it'd be ground into "fact" by Tweety and O'Reilly and Hannity and Joey The Intern Killer.

By the next day, Berger's not only a traitor and forced to flee to an undisclosed location, but then more names and rumors get thrown in as he never had a chance to confront the original lie and by now those lies had gotten so big any defense looks like the "when did you stop beating your wife" defense.

Now watch a Maulkin or some other wingnut blogger pick up on this article and start saying it's more "librul media propaganda" and how evil and nasty and what liars we are. How unpatriotic that not only would someone intimate that our beloved :sarcasm: Crashcart would be involved, but put it in print and then laugh about it on a web site.

Oh well...we do live in interesting times...
