too delicious a headline to pass up. courtesy of the "asia times online".

so, the democrats are salivating over karl rove's possible indictment.

me, not so much. it's not that i wouldn't love to see the guy go down; i would. i think he's pretty much pure slime. but you know what? i don't think he will. i think he was careful enough to avoid using her name. he had to know how much he was playing with fire, and considering how this was orchestrated, he didn't need to use her name. and i don't know whether he got close enough to basically end up with the same effect, from the point of view of it being a crime. i just doubt it.

cooper is still mum about details: here's the transcript of matt cooper and his lawyer's interview with press after having testified before the grand jury. can't wait for cooper's next few articles.

but it's lovely to see the flames flicker under scott mcclellan in the last white house press briefing. "I think we've exhausted discussion on this the last couple of days," he said early on.

"You haven't even scratched the surface." said one reporter. "It hasn't started." said another.


damn straight. you've spun this every which way, and now the chickens are come home to roost, which means they're gonna poop on your head, scotty.

I don't doubt that Rove will emerge from this unscathed, but damn, I'm glad to see the White House Press Corps re-growing its spine, which has seemed sadly missing during most of the Bush administration.

I liked the question from few days ago, "Scott, has Rove personally apologized for lying to you and having you repeat those lies?" Not an exact quote at all, but it was about whether Rove had offered an apology to Scott.

Of course, I believe Scott's answer was the same "do not comment on ongoing investigation" which I must admit reminds me quite a bit of Apple's "we do not comment on unreleased products" line and therefore makes me smirk on so many levels.
