Bush Should Keep His Word & Fire Rove - Rep Louise Slaughter
Via Rep. Slaughter's post at DkosSlaughter to President: "Keep Your Word." Bush Should Fire Karl Rove Washington, DC - Rep. Louise M. Slaughter (D-NY), Ranking Member of the House Rules Committee, today called on President Bush to keep his word and fire Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove for his role in leaking the identity of Ambassador Joe Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame, an undercover agent for the CIA. "It is time for the President to keep his word. Karl Rove should be fired and prosecuted to the full extent of the law," said Rep. Slaughter. "There can be no gray area here, regardless of how he phrased it, regardless of how much detail he provided, he revealed the identity of an undercover CIA agent. What Mr. Rove did is reprehensible. Putting the life of an undercover CIA agent in jeopardy can not be tolerated. He clearly deserves his pink slip," she continued.I am so happy to see Democratic Members of Congress keeping their feet to the fire over this. The Republicans and their talking heads like Limbaugh and the bunch over at Faux News are always quick to point at others and label them as "traitors" or "aiding and abetting the enemy", lets see how they respond to one of their own outed for being a REAL traitor. Remember guys..... According to Title 50, Ch. 15, Subch. IV, Sec. 421 intentionally revealing the identity of a covert CIA agent is punishable by 3-10 years in prison or $15-50k in fines or both. |

post a commentDear Rep. Slaughter. I thank you so very much for taking the time to leave a message on my blog. IMHO, this really shows the American Public (especially since I am not an American Citizen, and therefore, cannot vote for you), that you do not do these things for political gain as others do, and I thank you for that.
To voice your opinion on this little blog speaks volumes not only to your integrity but also shows your hear-felt belief in true democracy.
May God continue to guide you
How about a Slaughter/Conyers or Conyers/Slaughter team in '08?
What a way to show the American People and the rest of the world what the REAL AMERICA is all about.
Thanks Again
What a wonderful treat! It is so kind of Rep. Slaughter to take the time to respond here. This is another of those "its a small world" situations. I told Canuk last night that Rep. Slaughter is from my area and that she is highly respected.
I definitely took the time to go to www.votelouise.com/rove and add my name to the petition and sincerely hope others will too!
Louise, please tell Bob that Corrine from Legal sends her regards and that I am still working there too!
Corrine
Yes Corrine I was thinking of that this morning when I received notifcation of Rep. Slaugter's reply.
I am still so overwhelmed to receive a comment on my little blog from such a wonderful lady.-:)
You certainly got it right when you refer to Louise Slaughter as a "wonderful lady" because we think so in New York!
