Karl Rove: Repeat Leaker
Ron Suskind: Articles: "Sources close to the former president say Rove was fired from the 1992 Bush presidential campaign after he planted a negative story with columnist Robert Novak about dissatisfaction with campaign fundraising chief and Bush loyalist Robert Mosbacher Jr. It was smoked out, and he was summarily ousted. "
This was in January 93 in Esquire... Before the other source said it was uncovered.
Karl Rove: I didn't do it
Apparently, Rove testified to the Grand Jury that he heard from Robert Novak and another reporter that Valarie Plame was a CIA Operative, and that his telling yet another reporter this secret information that these other reporters shouldn't have had wasn't his fault because he's just an innocent gossip monger, I guess is his defense. God forbid he have any kind of national security clearance.
The Local Blogosphere: about to get a land rush?
Had a call from the Evening Sun yesterday from Seth Goldstein [blog] who is doing a story on local bloggers. They (to my knowledge) are few and far between, in relation to the about 125K population of the Hanover/Adams area (Adams County 100K, Hanover area of York 25K?)
Or at least it's hard to find anyone who identifies themself as FROM this area, as 2/3 of Adams County are not from Adams County. In fact, half of elected officials aren't natives (including yours truly - but I am a native tenth generation Pennsylvanian with ancestry in 18th Century Adams Co.).
But I digress. Hopefully, we'll see more people get online for more than reading other people and maybe doing a little "acting locally" while they're thinking globally.
Fun to be had, meetings to attend
Monday night is the next Democratic Party meeting at the VFW/Home Association on E Middle Street in Gettysburg at 7:00. Many of us are now members (again, yours truly included) so we could go early.
Bob Casey is coming to Adams County
Bob Casey's coming to the area on the third at General Sajer's house. See http://www.adamsdemocrats.com for details. ($100 a person)
Young Democrats of America
That said, I can't go because I am shelling out all my cash (more than I can afford in fact, I could use a little fundraiser myself right now) to get to San Francisco that same day for the Young Democrats of America National Convention. We could use about $1000 to send our people without going into hard personal debt to do it. We've raised about $750 of which $400 has been collected so far of the $1800 it takes to send three people.
Annual Picnic (Party Time)
The Democratic Club is holding it's annual picnic in Bonneauville soon and is also on http://www.adamsdemocrats.com - This one's only $10, and is worth it and FUN.

McSherrystown Stuff
I know this stuff don't have nothing to with McSherrystown. I'll be blogging about that stuff soon. I'm going to get my rear in gear since people might actually visit soon. (LOL)
