The Bushies need to wag the dog

Karl Rove is twisting slowly in the wind -- and I am loving it!

This transcript of the July 11 White House press briefing is dang interesting. It is about time that the White House Press Corps went after this issue. I don't think it will be proven that Karl Rove actually committed a crime because there are some areas of the law that are very specific, and the info that has been reported indicates that he did speak with at least one reporter, but he may not have broken a law. Knowledge of the CIA operative's status is a key element.

No matter what, the White House is caught in a big ol' lie of Clinton proportions, the harsh lights have gone from the reporters not testifying back to the White House staff sputtering inconsistencies and to tepid support for Rove, the president's deputy chief of staff, and there is no other news to fill the cycle. Heck, even Fox News and CNN's Lou Dobbs are on this like stink on poo. It is gonna be a long, hot summer in Washington.
