Rove Fired by GHWB in 1992 for leaking to Novakula then

[texpatriot2004]

I just read this on a post here and looked it up. It's true. Many of you may already be aware of this but somehow I missed it. So Karl and Novakula have a history...a leaky one. Hmm.

The story entitled "Karl and Bob: A leaky history" was written by Bennet Roth and published in the Houston Chronicle on Sunday 11/9/03.

Apparently Karl got mad at someone and used the leak to get back at them but this backfired on him and he was dismissed.

1. I had read about this before.

At least Daddy Bush had a little bit of integrity.

2. It's always helpful to remind us of things

that some of us know while simultaneously enlightening those who didn't know.
None of us knows everything.

I will be very surprised if you have not enlightened someone by revisiting this historical episode.

6. There's a word to describe someone like him: recidivist

Maybe we should call this repeat offender "KKKool Hand KKKarl".

7. They say there are compulsive liars who lie and lie maybe

there are leakers who do the same thing.

9. Karla Faye Rove and his killer past

Karla Faye Rove has been involved in many shady events.

He and Novak are long time allies who have done this dance many times. They work together to create stories useful to Rove.

God only knows what dirty secret binds them, but I wouldn't be surprised if it involved a dress, women's underwear, and copius amounts of astroglide.

10. Wow, I didn't know that...

... so all the insiders and the well-informed knew that Rove and Novak have been blowbuddies for a long time... and had done this sort of thing before.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Those two have a long, long history - we're talking at least 20 years they've been doing this.

Rove gives Novak info, and Rove gives Novak another guy who will corroborate, so Novak can go to press with the story. Rove refers Novak to Libby, who is waiting and confirms the story.

Then the story goes out as "top administration officials, on condition of anonymity," or "well-placed sources say" is used.

They use this routine to start the story, then they stoke it like a fire in a fireplace, to get the flames of the story rolling.

Rove and Libby talked to at least 6 journalists each, and they were selling the story and saying "she's fair game."

All the analysts who are certain the case is weak against Rove for outting the agent are missing the point. Lying to the grand jury is what Rove is going down for, and this latest appearance is at his behest. He knows it's his only chance to stave off the indictment.

12. I agree this is his last chance to try and talk his way out of it.

Interesting post you have here.

[texpatriot2004]

14. I wonder just how many times they have done this scheme? n/t

[texpatriot2004]

15. I wonder if they will have adjacent cells? nm

16. There was a matter back about 1982 involving them

Novak and Rove pulled off something back in 1982, but I can't recall what it is, or where I read about it. Maybe it will come to me.
