I guess the presumption of innocence applies only to Democrats.
DNC Chair Howard Dean on NBC's 'TODAY': 'If Karl Rove had been indicted, it would have been for perjury. That does not excuse his real sin, which is leaking the name of an intelligence operative during the time of war. He doesn't belong in the White House. If the President valued America more than he valued his connection to Karl Rove, then Karl Rove would have been fired a long time ago. So I think this is probably good news for the White House, but it's not very good news for America'...
The liberals are crazed.
For months it was screams and dreams from left-wing news sites on the internet: Karl Rove is on the verge of being indicted in the CIA leak case![This drama also played out last century with endless web warnings of Hillary Clinton indictments.]Yet when word finally came down this morning that, in fact, Rove was on the verge of being cleared in the case, the fledgling sites somehow lost their way and suddenly struggled to keep up. Some sites like truthout.org and MSNBC's Keith Olbermann opted for complete omission! 6:37 AM ET -- First Reported by Byron York at NATIONAL REVIEW.COM6:40 AM -- News breaks on NYTIMES.COM7:39 AM HUFFINGTON POST.COM [in small mouse type from automated AP feed: 'Rove won't be charged in CIA leak case'] 8:21 AM -- RAWSTORY.COM still no splash headline[At 9:21 AM -- RAW STORY splashes 'DRUDGE FALSIFIES REPORT ON RAW STORY... ROVE OFF HOOK IN CIA LEAK CASE: ATTORNEY'] More than two hours into the news cycle, truthout.org, a site which famously splashed the headline last month, 'Karl Rove Indicted on Charges of Perjury, Lying to Investigators,' a headline which ignited a firestorm in the underground, still featured no announcement of Rove NOT being charged. Truthout.org was still standing by its story.MSNBC's Keith Olbermann's page also carried no word on Rove being cleared, despite months of assuring his audience [ON MORE THAN 26 DIFFERENT PROGRAMS, ACCORDING TO NEXIS] how the Bush adviser faced indictment.
From the scary Kerry camp:
A spokesman for Senator John Kerry (D-MA) has launched an unusually personal attack on presidential adviser Karl Rove, Raw Story has learned.
The move comes one day after Rove called plans to exit Iraq proposed by Senator Kerry and Representative John Murtha (D-PA) "profoundly wrong" "cut and run" strategies. "They may be with you for the first few bullets," Rove said, "but they won't be there for the last tough battles."
Both Kerry and Murtha are decorated service veterans.
"The closest Karl Rove ever came to combat," said Kerry spokesman David Wade, "was these last months spent worrying his cellmates might rough him up in prison. This porcine political operative can't cut and run from the truth any longer."
MAN! Now THAT'S hatred!
And then there's Chuck Schumer at a press conference:
No matter what the outcome is of the final investigation, I am renewing my call on Special Prosecutor Fitzgerald to issue a report detailing his findings and explaining his charging decisions. In this type of case I think that's the prosecutor's obligation to the American people.Well, I have news for the most arrogant man in Congress. As a Senator, he has no constitutional authority to demand that the special prosecutor do anything. It is illegal to divulge grand jury testimony. These Democrats can dish it out, but they caaaaan't take it.
