Life Like Weeds brings this rousing WSJ editorial to our attention:
For Mr. Rove is turning out to be the real “whistleblower” in this whole sorry pseudo-scandal. He’s the one who warned Time’s Matthew Cooper and other reporters to be wary of Mr. Wilson’s credibility. He’s the one who told the press the truth that Mr. Wilson had been recommended for the CIA consulting gig by his wife, not by Vice President Dick Cheney as Mr. Wilson was asserting on the airwaves. In short, Mr. Rove provided important background so Americans could understand that Mr. Wilson wasn’t a whistleblower but was a partisan trying to discredit the Iraq War in an election campaign. Thank you, Mr. Rove.
I can think of a prize that I want to award Mr. Rove: a carton of Lucky Strikes — something that will prove useful to him as he sits in his jail cell, pondering the treason he committed against the United States of America, and wondering how he can avoid becoming his cellmate’s turd blossom.

Dave:
Wilson’s message was simply that there were zero indications that Iraq had even attempted purchasing weapons grade uranium in Niger. If Wilson is a partisan liar bent on affecting an election, where are the stockpiles of weapons grade uranium in Iraq?

Just too strange to even take on… we’re through the looking glass here, people…

Beautiful (from today’s briefing):
Q Scott, you know what, to make a general observation here, in a previous administration, if a press secretary had given the sort of answers you’ve just given in referring to the fact that everybody who works here enjoys the confidence of the President, Republicans would have hammered them as having a kind of legalistic and sleazy defense. I mean, the reality is that you’re parsing words, and you’ve been doing it for a few days now. So does the President think Karl Rove did something wrong, or doesn’t he?
MR. McCLELLAN: No, David, I’m not at all. I told you and the President told you earlier today that we don’t want to prejudge the outcome of an ongoing investigation. And I think we’ve been round and round on this for two days now.
Matt:
“the reality is that you’re parsing words” — See? I told you it was the hot new craze that’s sweeping the nation!
Agitprop:
We all know that Joe Wilson outed his own wife so he could write a book about it. Karl Rove is the real American hero!
