Josh Marshall makes an excellent point...

From TalkingPointsMemo.com:

A point that hasn't been made yet.

Everyone I hear from today says that the White House is going after Joe Wilson hard in their background conversations with reporters. Apparently Karl Rove himself.

Their main hit apparently is that it was Valerie Plame who authorized Wilson's trip to Niger or was the one who sent him -- which is as false today as it was two years ago.

Now, that's as much an attack on Plame as it is on Wilson. Actually, even more of one on her since the subtext is that she was either engaging in nepotism or advancing some private political agenda.

So now we know that Karl Rove started attacking Valerie Plame to get his boss out of the soup. And now two years later he continues to attack her.

True to form to the last. And every reporter in town knows it. -- Josh Marshall



The longer the President waits to cut him loose, the more likely the whole administration's going down with him.

I can't wait to see what Round 3 brings tomorrow.

  1. Patrick Fitzgerald is no idiot and would not be investigating this for two years for nada. He gained quite a rep. here in Chicago going after Gov. Geo. Ryan and city contract corruption. It's the arrogance of thinking they're above the law thats going to sink this ship.
