Rove-Leak Scandal... Townhall comments

From www.dailykos.com, again:

From Bill in the GREAT STATE OF MAINE concludes:
The citizenry is not amused, Mr. Rove...

Excerpts of letters in response to Time and Newsweek's simultaneous cover stories on Karl Rove...

"The President's right-hand man is at best a rat and at worst a traitor."
"Rove should be fired immediately, but it will be hard for the President to oust his most trusted adviser."
"It's time for Bush to demonstrate true character and leadership and do as he promised, without parsing the relative legality of Rove's actions, which were at the very least arrogant and unethical. That sort of behavior should not be tolerated by either the President or the American people."
"The media are making the Plame case far too complicated. Bush can no more fire Rove than dummy Charlie McCarthy could fire ventriloquist Edgar Bergen."
"Bush's credibility is on the line. We will see if Bush really meant it when he said he would fire anyone in his Administration who leaked information that exposed the identity of a CIA officer. The media must hold Bush's feet to the fire..."
"When will we stand up and demand that this Administration be held accountable for jeopardizing national security? President Bush's job is to protect us, not his own hide."
"If you or I had outed a CIA operative, you can bet we would be in prison..."
"Your article on Karl Rove was fairly accurate, except for one point: his favorite quarry is not quail, it is truth. He also likes to take aim at fairness, honesty and ethics."
"The fact is that were the situation reversed and it was a Democrat in trouble for revealing a CIA operative's name for political motives, the Republicans would have his hide. And who would be right up front ripping the `traitorous' Democrat to shreds? Karl Rove, of course."
"How many times have we been lied to about critically important matters by this administration? And what happened to President Clinton when he lied about a sexual affair? Whose dishonesty is more consequential?"
"Is he a character assassin? Absolutely. Is he unethical? Without a doubt. Those answers should be enough to ride him out of town on a rail. The Bush Administration, however, will probably give him a raise."
