Reply #2: honestly, it strains credulity that shrub didn't know. [View All]

let's just suppose that shrub has nothing to do with originating the whole thing. can you honestly say that ROVE, of all people, knew and wouldn't tell shrub?

i mean, THIS is the kind of crap shrub LIVES for! he has zero interest in issues, cares not one whit about the people, but totally gets his rocks off on screwing people over, especially for vengeance.

so, at a minimum, rove would have said, "hey, you're gonna LOVE this! you know that guy that criticized your state of the union speech? guess what we're gonna do to him! turns out his wife is a cia agent and we're gonna blow her cover JUST TO RUIN HER CAREER!"

i mean, the ability to do that sort of thing is probably the only reason shrub wanted to be president at all. getting revenge on saddam has been his entire mission in life ever since poppy refused to do it himself.

he's all about revenge. how could they keep such a juicy revenge story from him?
