Who in the Republican Party leaked the false emails to Jon Karl and why did he report them?
After all, whoever did this is
(a) privvy to classified information and
(b) is more interested in scoring political points than protecting the country's national security.
And Dan Rather was duped. He was lynched. Whereas Karl was an active conspirator in this duplicity and attempted lynching of the Obama administration. And yet Dems who could be listened to are not howling for his head on a platter.

(35,321 posts)Ham Rove was a political strategist and genius related to the famous Karl Rove. His life was tragically cut short on 12th November 2012 when he was violently butchered on the show by the libernazi John Stewart.[1] His body was devoured by dogs.
History & BirthEdit
Ham Rove was the bastard child of corporate sleaze and conservative science. During the final days of the Bush administration, Karl Rove wanted to clone himself so another would take the fall during the Valerie Plame affair. Karl Rove planned to retire to the safety of a Cayman island while his clone would spend the rest of its life in prison. Something happened during the cloning experiment while in utero (it is believed Karl's genetic material overwhelmed that of the egg's) and Karl's clone became a ham, a smart ham, but a ham none the less. Karl tried to terminate the fetus, but it was too late, Ham Rove was born. Not wanting to waste another billion dollars on more rounds of unethical human experiments, Karl Rove instead asked The Greatest President Ever to pardon him.
Biography
Like his human counterpart, Ham Rove was a political genius. With the cloning experiment having worked too well, Ham Rove was moved to a high security laboratory for further study. The results were astounding, he proved to have the highest IQ of any ham, possessing mental powers yet unknown to man and hamkind. It was suggested for the safety of the human race that Ham Rove be terminated indiscriminately, preferably sometime during Thanksgiving so as not to waste a good ham. However during that time in captivity, Ham Rove escaped from the laboratory and eluded authorities for several months, finally securing a pardon from The Greatest President Ever (he was apparently taken by Ham Rove). After the Presidential pardon, Ham Rove moved to Washington, D.C. and enrolled at Dartmouth College to further expand his ham brain. He graduated with the highest honors in the history of Dartmouth hams.
Fixing the Midterm Elections
Karl Rove claims it was thanks to him that the Republicans won the 2010 midterm elections, lies. It was all thanks to Ham Rove that the GOP won that day.
Yesterday
Ham Rove is a paid political strategist and would whore himself to any tv show who may be interested on hiring him as a pundit/political adviser/tv whore/ham spokesman. He is at the moment a paid consultant to the Colbert Report. It is said that if you eat the ham, you gain Karl Rove's memories.
Today
He's dead, Jim.
I have been wondering the same thing

(18,541 posts)Dan Rather has been vindicated - the font existed, those pages were real. What's lacking is any justice, and that's where we've got to. Not to belabor 2000, but WTF?
This time, it's slightly different, but the same BS - someone in CONgress is behind this, and it's stinky. We don't need a scooter to take the fall, we need to trace it back to their boss - the person who asked them to do it.
