I\u2019m going to tell you what\u2019s guiding this non-story over the so-called leaking of Joe Wilson\u2019s wife\u2019s name – a name which the guy has on his personal bio at the Middle East Institute. So much for blowing the woman\u2019s cover! Remember the October Surprise and remember Clarence Thomas-Anita Hill, folks. Remember the left\u2019s battle cry: “The nature of the evidence is irrelevant; it\u2019s the seriousness of the charge that matters.” You simply need to make a harsh, totally unfounded charge, and that\u2019s reason enough to investigate. <\/line>Because of that liberal guiding tenet, this non-story will not die. Late in the process of confirming then-Judge Clarence Thomas to his historic spot on the Supreme Court, Anita Hill popped up with unfounded allegations. Hill herself never alleged “sexual harassment,” but the left conjured up all sorts of Kennedy-like behavior and attributed it to Thomas. During the 80s, the left claimed that Ronald Reagan had cut a deal with the Iranians to hold the hostages until after the election – as if Jimmuh<\/emphasize> Carter\u2019s non-response to Iran was the only reason he lost! Gary Sick wrote a book citing a convict who claimed he\u2019d flown George H. W. Bush to Paris to meet the Ayatollahs during the 1980 campaign aboard an SR-71 Blackbird. <\/line>This created a huge stir and demands for an investigation eventually came from Carter himself – until someone thought to ask this crackpot: “Okay, how do you start the SR-71 up for takeoff?” Whoops! The guy didn\u2019t even know how to turn the jet\u2019s ignition key much less fly it. (George H. W. Bush was accounted for during the entire campaign and could not have flown to Paris, anyway.) Today, the AP\u2019s Terence Hunt writes: “The White House denied Monday that President Bush\u2019s top political advisor Karl Rove leaked the CIA agent\u2019s identity to retaliate against an opponent of the administration\u2019s Iraq policy.”<\/line>This whole story like so many others, is a misleading piece of propaganda. Rove wasn\u2019t involved, as was established yesterday. Bob Novak has said that his source was CIA, not the administration. The White House can\u2019t be engaging in a cover-up because it has nothing to cover! Again: this woman was not a secret agent, or even an agent. Her identity was easily found on the Internet. But the “seriousness of the charge” that the Bush administration released the name of a covert operative hoping the bad guys would kill her must <\/emphasize>be investigated! This is a totally manufactured story, and it\u2019s being propelled by left-wing media organs like the Nation and Washington Post who refuse to let it die.<\/line><\/p>\n
