Now that the GOP has been given its orders from on high, the shocktroops are doing what their told and defending a traitor.
My favorites;
The Norm Coleman “Whether or not someone in the white House committed treason is simply none of our business” excuse.
Coleman: “We Have Enough To Do In The Senate In Minding Our Own Business Than To Be Sticking Our Noses Into Someone Else’s Business.
Bob Dole
“It Is Incredibly Irresponsible For Individuals And Organizations To Make Accusations Based On Rumor And Innuendo.”
Bob Dole (August 22nd 2004 referring to Kerry and the Swift Boat smears)
“Three Purple Hearts and never bled, that I know of. “
This one deserves mention simply because it is a flat out bald faced lie.
“He Knew Then That Much Of What Joe Wilson Was Saying Was Untrue.
Rep. Kay Granger.
My favorite though is Pete King. In one outburst he just unleases all the slime at his disposal. First he smears Joe Wilson with a lie
"He said the vice president recommended him."
Then says the media should be shot because they never called Joe Wilson on the lie that King said he commited that he never did.
"And I think people like Tim Russert and the others, who gave this guy such a free ride and all the media, they're the ones to be shot, not Karl Rove."
And then finally comes up with the most convincing defense of Rove I've seen yet.
"Listen, maybe Karl Rove was not perfect. "
So to wrap up, if you think Karl Rove should be fired and or go to jail for commiting treason, you need to mind your own business, because nobodies perfect, and we should shoot Tim Russert.
