As I have mentioned before, I occasionally obtain exclusive information from an operative working undercover in the White House: a mouse based inside the Oval Office wall who prefers to be known as Deep Throat II. In exchange for a generous stipend (an undisclosed amount of granola with banana flakes and Roquefert cheese), Deep Throat keeps his eyes and ears open. The last inside scoop I got from Deep Throat was a page from Barney the White House dog's diary that was, shall we say, quite revealing. (see  http://baltimore.indymedia.org/newswire/display/5006/index.php )

Now, once more, Deep Throat has come through. Lulu, a mouse in the White House kitchen, was told by her cousin Fritz, who has a bachelor pad in the floor of a West Wing conference room, about a secret meeting between Karl Rove, Bush and Dick Cheney. In this meeting, the three men mapped out Bush's plans for 2004-2008 should he be reelected. Deep Throat II found Fritz's story so fantastic that he felt he must have proof. In a daring escapade, he and Fritz made a midnight raid on Karl Rove's "secret box." The secret box is a locked metal case kept hidden in the back of the closet in Karl's office, hidden beneath the Whole Foods health store bags that hold Karl's secret stash of Devil Dogs and cheese curls (its the only way he can smuggle them into his office past Bush, who believes Karl's inability to lose weight is due to a "pituitary problem.").

Thanks to his years as a juvenile delinquent growing up in the kitchen, Fritz is an expert at picking pantry locks. He soon had the secret box opened with a filed paper clip. Inside, they discovered an amazing assortment of materials, everything from the passwords and usernames of several prominent Democratic Senators and Representatives email accounts, to Rove's official membership card from the Dukes of Hazzard fan club, to a DC meeting list for.Control Freaks Anonymous to 'Hot Missionary Mammas" an X-rated magazine full of photos of fundamentalist D-cuppers in various stages of undress. There were other items as well of great political interest.

However, Deep Throat II is a slick operator and knows he can score more granola and cheese by passing the goods on to me one piece at a time. So, for now, I have managed to obtain a copy of a list of objectives described in the Bush-Cheney-Rove meeting.
