'My name's Dr. Multimillionaire and I kicked your ***,' Rep. tells Rove

[danarhea]

Looks like Robert Novak is attempting to energize what is left of the Republican base by telling what amounts to a huge lie. According to the White House, this story never happened. Of course, the reason I am posting the story is pre-emptive. With the crazy accusations which have been coming from the Bush supporters lately, I am going to kill yet another one before it even gets started. Why is it that the losers in any election turn into whiners? It has happened to the Democrats many times in the past. Now it is the GOP's turn to whine, and they are doing an excellent job.

Article is here.

This is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. You claim that this story came from Robert Novak as some sort of attempt to enrage the right.

Wrong.

This story came from the LEFT, DAYS ago, and was an attempt by this freshman shmuck Congressman to whip up his fringe left wing supporters by making up a lie about his actions at the white house. Novak was simply coming around days later and reporting on the story.

Do a bit more research into the roots of this story and you'll see why your characterization is off.

Actually, you are quite wrong. Here is Novak's article, written by Novak himself. Nobody lied about Novak. The article is in Novak's own words, with Novak's byline. This IS Novak's writing.

BTW, I didn't know that Novak was part of the radical left. The last time someone made this claim without investigating (a guy named Weaselteeth), I made a complete monkey out of him. LMAO.

Care to make any remarks on the fact that the White House repudiated the Novak article, saying that it was not true?

You may admit that you are wrong any time now.

You completely misunderstand what I'm saying.

Novak didn't break ****. He reported on a story that was ALREADY OUT THERE, being hyped members of the left.

Here is where the original story came from, reported DAYS before Novak's article.

The Scene Online: Cover Story

After that, it became a big story over at Kos and DU, where people argued about whether it was real or not, yet complimented the guy for "standing up to bush."

Then, days later, Novak finally picked up on it as an example of a preposterous story being hyped by the left.

This completely disproves your claim that this was a lie fabricated by Novak in order to energize the Republicans. Rather, its an example of a lie fabricated by a Congressman, offered to his constituents, applauded by leftists, and skewered by the reps for being bullshit.

1) Novak is the one who tried to move this into mainstream news. And you have still yet to comment on why the White House says Novak's story is complete BS.

No, Novak is not. This story was out on the AP and cited on drudge BEFORE Novak even wrote that column.

And the White House isn't calling Novak's story BS, they're calling the ORIGINAL story BS. Because it is.

And who's responsible for that?

1) The lying Congressman
2) The Constituents who put it on the site above
3) The leftist communities that brought this story to national prominence

Again, your argument is completely misdirected. Novak isn't the one who lied here. He's simply repeating what the Congressman said, and not too quickly at that.

We all wait with bated breath for some refutation from Danarhea, but fortunately not too long as it seems History has won yet again.

Update on the story:

Kagen apologizes for reported White House remarks


U.S. Rep. Steve Kagen has apologized for how he handled the questioning of remarks he reportedly made at the White House in November, but offered no explanation for what happened.

In a letter to constituents in the 8th District, Kagen, D-Appleton, called the situation a "distraction" he allowed to "get out of hand and divert our attention from the critically important work we're doing.

"My mishandled attempt at humor wasn't delivered or received well. It won't happen again."

During a Dec. 19 meeting with peace activists, the freshman lawmaker reportedly bragged about having blocked the door to a men's room and telling Republican political adviser Karl Rove, "I kicked your ***."

He went on to say he thanked Vice President Dick Cheney and President Bush for helping him win the election and deliberately called first lady Laura Bush "Barbara."

"I learned on the campaign that the meanest thing you can say to another gentleman is, 'he's a fine fellow,' and you then refer to his spouse by a different name," Kagen said in a published report.
