CLUELESS DEMS

At the top of the Democratic Party's website home page is none other than Karl Rove.

For weeks Tom DeLay had the honor. They did their best to slime him, including plastering the site with a simulated mug shot, as well as running ads and orchestrating a campaign led by Dem elected officials calling for his head. Chairman Dr. Dean even went out and said DeLay needed to go back to Texas and serve jail time. When NONE of that stuck, the Party had to find a new demon to hunt.

That, of course, was Karl Rove. The Dems and their propagandists in the MSM were positively drooling over Rove and Wilson and Novak and Plame. They still are.

After Bush announced his nominee for the Supreme Court, I expected John Roberts to get top billing on the Dem home page and be their main target. I was wrong. They won't let go of the Rove matter.

Next to Rove's picture, the Democrats write:

Rove and Libby: Perjurers?

If Rove and Libby did give false testimony to the grand jury, then there is no question that they committed a crime. Will President Bush finally keep his promise to fire anyone who was involved in leaking Valerie Plame's identity?

Read this page. It's hilarious. It wouldn't be so funny if this came off some lib chat board; but it's straight from the Democratic Party!

My favorite part:

Republicans have built their defenses of Karl Rove around the argument that he didn't violate the exact letter of the law in revealing Valerie Plame's identity. But perjury is a much simpler matter.

EXACT LETTER OF THE LAW?

I'm flashing back to what the meaning of "is" is.

PERJURY?

The Dems have done a 180 on perjury. Suddenly, they consider it to be a serious crime.

Gee, it wasn't that long ago that the Dems thought nothing of perjury. No big deal!

Don't forget that on April 12, 1999, Judge Wright, who had dismissed the Jones case, found President Clinton in contempt for lying in his January 1998 testimony, when he denied the Lewinsky affair. In July, Judge Wright ordered Clinton to pay nearly $90,000 to Ms. Jones's lawyers.

On January 19, 2001, the day before he left office, Clinton agreed to admit to giving false testimony in the Jones case and to accept a five-year suspension of his law license and a $25,000 fine in return for an agreement by the independent counsel, Robert W. Ray (Starr's successor), to end the investigation and not prosecute him.


PERJURY! No problem, right?

In the Rove case, at this point, speculation on a perjury charge is purely that--speculation.

In any event, the Dems getting riled up about giving false testimony is just plain laughable.
