Probing Karl Rove | Wednesday, 2005 July 13 - 11:15 pm |
Boy, the Republicans sure are dancing now, aren't they? Today President Bush declined to offer up support for his embattled aide Karl Rove, who's suspected of illegally leaking the identity of undercover CIA agent Valerie Plame. It was kind of funny, actually, because Rove was sitting right behind Bush when Bush was asked about it, with a hopeful look on his face, and all Bush would say was "it is very important not to prejudge the investigation based on media reports". Not exactly a ringing endorsement. I like Wonkette's take on this, which is: Democrats, keep quiet. Shut up. Now is not the time to be your usual long-winded selves.

All that was missing was a huge wink and nod in Rove's direction, followed by a double thumbs up. |

Yes, Bush was smirking - - but does he have another facial expression? If so, I've missed it. I agree that Rove will likely not suffer anything more than losing his job, but the longer Bush takes to make that happen, the uglier for the Repubs. (A good thing.) Ken, you've got the right script for the Dems. |
