Media Owe Rove an Apology…or at Least a Few Hugs
Written by Noel Sheppard
Tuesday, June 20, 2006


In America, people are innocent until proven guilty, unless of course they are Republican.

Potentially no finer example of such legal relativism has occurred in recent memory than in the case of President Bush’s top advisor, Karl Rove. For months, virtually every mainstream media outlet proclaimed his guilt regarding the Valerie Plame Wilson affair, or what has been not so affectionately named the CIA-leak case.

For example, take the media’s excitement over pending indictments for Rove. This hit a fevered pitch last fall as special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald, after almost two years of research, depositions, and grand jury testimonies, was about to announce his findings on October 28.

Sadly for the drive-by media, no indictments were handed down that day for Rove.

As a result, restaurateurs and bar owners around the country were likely forced to give back millions of dollars in deposits for all the “Rove is Going to Jail” parties that ended up being cancelled by disappointed Democrats coast to coast.

2. The Shrike
Edited on Tue Jun-20-06 02:56 PM by Ezlivin
It's a razor-covered being from Dan Simmon's Hyperion Trilogy (Sci-Fi, as if you couldn't guess.)

I'd like to see a nice bear hug from The Shrike for Karl.

10. Hit piece by neocon Noel Sheppard.
from his bio -


In 1980, after decades of leftist indoctrination, Noel Sheppard was offered what ended up being a realigning and career altering position on the Options Floor of the Pacific Stock Exchange coincidentally and fortuitously months before Ronald Reagan was elected as our 40th president. Thus began twenty-four sometimes excruciating years of radical deprogramming, for, whilst on the exchange, Noel was, for the first time in his life, exposed to Conservative views that he had been taught to shun and abhor practically since birth.

"As a result, Noel – who resides in a thankfully Conservative suburb outside of San Francisco with his wife and two children - has dedicated his life to assisting the Conservative voices in our nation in better educating Americans of the political and economic truths that have been for years withheld from them. Only this way can we further the expansion of democracy, capitalism, and freedom throughout the world."

Sometimes knowing the background of the author sheds light on the motive for writing such rediculous crap.
