Just a couple of weeks ago, there were several commenters here who just insisted that Dick Durbin compared our troops to Nazi!!!! when, of course, he did no such thing.

Oliver engages in just the same sort of foolishness when he pretends that Peter King wants anyone actually shot. But now all those people who couldn’t grasp what Durbin had to say are suddenly capable of reading a little nuance into King’s remark.

Either you people have been studying really hard the last two weeks, or you’re reading King’s remark much more generously than you read Durbin.

Which, please?

“No, Joe Wilson, she recommended, his wife recommended him for this job in Niger. He said the vice president recommended him. To me, she took it off the table. Once she allowed him to go ahead and say that and write his op-ed in the New York Times, to have Tim Russert give him a full hour on Meet the Press saying he was sent there as a representative of the vice president, when she knew — she knew herself — that she was the one that recommended him for this job, she allowed that lie to go forward, involving the vice president of the United States, and the president. Then to me she should be the last one in the world who has any right to complain about anything, and Joe Wilson has no right to complain, and I think people like Tim Russert and the others who gave this guy such a free ride in all the media, they’re the ones that ought to be shot, not Karl Rove.”

Kinda changes the meaning of the remark, doesn’t it? And King is exactly right – if Joseph Wilson gave a rat’s behind about the “secrecy” of his wife’s identity then he wouldn’t have perpetuated the lie that Dick Cheney sent him to Niger, because a little investigating would have quickly revealed
– with or without Karl Rove’s help — that he was lying, and that his wife was the one who set up the trip. You have to be pretty dense not to see that Wilson himself set the stage for his wife to be “outed.”

Oliver Willis: GOP: Endorse Hangings!!

So, it’s very obvious to me that he’s using a metaphor and you’ve just gone off the deep end.

Just sit down. This is nothing.

But for King to insinuate that it’s ok to out an operative because her husband lied is just disgusting.

That’s my metaphor.

The WH, through the RNC talking points, is trying to spin this that Rove was simply trying to set the record straight on who sent Wilson to Niger.

You know, if you’re trying to set the record straight, you go ON THE RECORD.

The only reason for Rove to go under “double super secret background” was to hide the fact that he was the source for an unlawful outing of a covert agent.

If Plame was not covert, he could’ve and would’ve gone on the record.

Next time, throw a picture of Jessica Alba in between or something so you don’t contradict yourself in consecutive posts.

What the hell is the matter with all of you people??
