“Maybe we should clear up exactly what happened here. In the indictment on or around June 12 or 13, Karl Rove told ``Scooter'' Libby about Joe Wilson's wife. On or about June 12 Karl Rove told Libby about Joe Wilson's wife and that Bob Novak was going to probably write an article about it. So Rove was tipping off Libby that this article was going to be in the paper and we need to deal with this somehow. That was in June. On September 14, Karl Rove tells ABC News that he does not even know who Joe Wilson is or his wife or anything else. And then 2 years later, I think it may have been last summer, he reiterates the fact. Okay, so we have Karl Rove telling Libby one thing about Valerie Plame and then telling the American people a few months later he does not know anything about it. That is why Karl Rove is no longer fit to serve the American public because he did not lie to ABC News. He did not lie to CNN. Karl Rove lied to the American people. Period. Dot. End of story. And he tried to revise, he tried to recant but he just cannot do it. This is the fact. The indictment says he lied to the American people. He needs to be fired. I mean, no one here would accept that from their staff.”
