Jul. 11th, 2005 10:28 amvia Talking Points Memo:
So we've got Karl Rove's latest story, as recounted by his lawyer, Robert Luskin.
Rove did spill the beans about Plame in an effort to discredit Joe Wilson. Only he didn't mention the name 'Valerie Plame'. He only spilled the beans about 'Joe Wilson's wife'.
I'm no lawyer. But I'd hate to go into court with my case resting on that distinction.
And of course the GOP calliope is already in full swing with the repeated wingnut bray, "But, but he didn't actually say her name!"
Good Christ, somebody on the Right please just this once come out and declare Rove a douchebag who must resign (at the very least) so I can reassure myself that y'all aren't just a bunch of Kool-Aid drinking automatons. Please? Just this once?
