"Mr. Truthful" Speaks Out on Karl Rove

"Christmas in Cambodia...that memory is seared in my mind"

There is an old saying about being smart in "keeping your enemies close by your side." To this end, a month or so ago I signed up to get E-mails from Senator John Kerry's website.

I've been laughing my rear end off every since at the predictable nature of the stuff Kerry (or his staff) chooses to send out to millions of Americans, using his own discredited name.

I've thus far not included any of Kerry's rambling in my blog, but I thought that you just had to read today's missive:

"Dear Friend,

How many more times will Karl Rove make President Bush eat his words and shred his credibility before Karl Rove does the honorable thing and leaves the White House?

Yesterday the President furiously backpedaled from his promise to fire anyone involved in leaking the identity of a covert CIA agent to the press. Now that it's known that Rove and Vice President Cheney's Chief of Staff Lewis Libby were involved, the President has lowered the bar and now says he'll only fire someone who is convicted of a crime.

President Bush is setting a terrible standard of leadership in the White House by protecting insubordinate aides who refused to come forward when the President demanded to know who in his administration leaked Valerie Plame's identity -- and he's sending a disturbing message about our national security.

The President should not wait to find out whether Rove is convicted in the end for his leak. Either Rove lied to the President about this matter of national security, which means he should be fired immediately, or the President is not being straight with the American people about his own involvement in this case.

With all the dissembling coming out of the White House, it's clear that the only way the American people can get to the bottom of this is through full Congressional hearings. I will call for hearings this week -- and you can strengthen this call by adding your name to our petition today:

With both the House and Senate in Republican hands it will be difficult to force Congressional hearings on the Bush White House. Having as many statements as possible from people in every state will help my colleagues and me show that this is what America wants. According to a poll released yesterday by ABC News, 75% of Americans believe that Karl Rove should be fired if he leaked classified information.

More than 300,000 people have signed on so far -- help us double our numbers by forwarding this email to your friends asking them to sign:

Thank you,

John Kerry"

John Kerry continues to prove to me, each and every day, with every single utterance from his twisted, pompous, eliteist mouth, that he is a complete and total partisan idiot and worse, that he can't even get his own party to back him in his insanities.

Thank God we didn't elect this man.
