Shut The Hell Up, Carl Rove Didn't Do Shit

Narrative:

Mr. Wilson contributes funds to Kerry campaign, and engages in other acts supporting Kerry campaign. Mr. Wilson is an ardent Democrat.

Mrs. Wilson (the CIA officer) causes the CIA to hire Mr. Wilson, to go to Niger to investigate claims of Saddam seeking to purchase nuclear material from Niger. Mr. Wilson is totally unqualified for this role, but apparently has always wanted to visit Niger. CIA hires Mr. Wilson to go to Niger.

Mr. Wilson returns from Niger, mistates what he found, later quietly retracts. Mainstream Media of course harps on the misstatements, claiming they're "the truth", ignores Mr. Wilsons' retraction.

Carl Rove direct advisor to the President has no clue who Mrs. Wilson is. She's about 80 levels below him. He may have heard Mr. Wilson name mentioned in connection with the trip to Niger, and Mr. Wilsons' misstatements upon his return. Rove mentions something about a "Wilson" to the press. Rove says nothing about a Wilson in the CIA.

Democrats are upset that 1) they lost the election 2) Mr. Wilson really did find some evidence that Saddam was seeking to buy nuke materials and lied about it 3) they hate Rove (and anyone for that matter) because he's attached to Bush.

The mass media lemmings as always, seek to sell newspapers, so they go with the inflamatory bullshit at hand.

I'm no Carl Rove fan, but this witch hunt is ludicrous. The press should be focusing on shit that matters...there's plenty of it that's not being reported at all.
