Karl Rove, Felon
It's now been revealed that Karl Rove, aka Bush's Brain, was the source who blew the cover of a CIA agent, Valerie Plame. This is a federal felony punishable by prison.
The story is long and complicated, but Gene Lyons provides his always sharp perspective and a good general overview of the case here.
And the Al Franken show's site has an excellent account of just how blatantly the White House is lying about it. Spokesliar Scotty McClellan had actually stated flat out that Karl Rove was not the source, and said that suggesting so was "ridiculous."
Karl Rove may or may not get charged, (likely not), but as Lyons points out, his parsing of words and legal ju-jitsu makes Clinton's definition of "is" pale by comparison.

As I heard someone on radio comment today, Rove is widely regarded as the master of the "pay-back"... how sweet would it be if he finally gets his?
Actually, being a convicted felon is a point in your favor in the current White House's hiring process.
Just ask John Poindexter.
You all look pretty stupid about now don't ya think?
Well, yeah. But if I take a shower I'll look slightly better. And what does the fact that I look stupid have to do with whatever you're talking about? I can't help the way I look. Geeze.
I'd say Rove looks a bit like a nasty ruthless bastard right now though.
"... it looks as if this scandal is about a spy who was not endangered, a whistle-blower who did not blow the whistle and was not smeared, and a White House official who has not been fired for a felony that he did not commit. And so far the only victim is a reporter who did not write a story about it." It's what Tierney calls Nadagate.

Just the kind of ruthless bastard your minority party wishes they had
Yeah, diehard a terrorist. I told you dope, diehard really believes KR is respnsible for 9/11. You lose any credibility when you subscribe to the Sterwart Smally conspiracy bullshxx.
