And yes, he is of Norwegian descent, which is probably an affront to most Norwegians. I read-think it was Rise of the Vulcans-that he doesn't like Swedes, due to much earlier Sweden/Norway relations. I read that and thought "Hell, actual Norwegians have gotten over that. Now they just rub it in when they get more medals in the Olympics. They're not hung up on it." It shows how small KKKarl's mind really is.

Expecting one of these journalists to have leaked the news about Rove before the official court documents have been submitted would be like asking a group of friends if one of them would kindly lick their finger and stick it in an electric socket to see if the current was still on. 'See that pile of smoking charcoal over there: that used to be Dan Rather, and that one over there was Newsweek magazine. But maybe the current's off now.'

The more I think about it this would seem to be something right up Rove's alley as a scam to gain sympathy.
But why do this now when the popularity is at an all time low and there is still the risk that the questions will come up 'Why? Has the president not demanded answers from his own employees?" It would do a bit of good had he come out with the facts over a year ago when he swore before the cameras that he would get to the bottom of it all.
If it does come out as a Rove stunt and people ask "If not Rove, then who?" And some of those people might start asking the president and the gaggle whore why the answer hasn't been found by the president himself who claims to care so much about national security that he would not even bother to find out who outed an operative which is illegal?
If he doesn't answer right then questions are going to be asked whether he is of the opinion that she was outed to expose her husbands political views against the war policy. If that is said then someone who counter asking why they would damage national security by outing an operative over a mere political dispute? Which damages the president more? Being trivial about politics for which he and the administration would behave like spoiled children and out an operative, or knowing that he covered it up by not following up on it like he promised.
Then someone should ask him why he never fullfills his national security promises like getting to the bottom of this leak and finding Osama Bin Laden?
The questions will never cease!!
But then I remembered this is America's media and I know none of these questions will be asked. It would be too damned good and professional to do so.

People speculate that Novak already testified before the grand jury and gave up his source -- whether that source released him from confidentiality before or not -- and that they claim that the source didn't know that Plame was a covert agent. Novak's use of the word covert, they claim, was just carelessness.

I think it is coming up now just in case Time is even considering shredding documents to protect Rove or whoever did it. This is putting them on notice that other people are in the know also and they won't get away with it; at least not totally. Casting a pall of doubt over someone is almost as good as convicting them; makes them a lot less useful.

Weird. Why didn't O'Donnell want to go in front of the Grand Jury? Seems the manner in which he has made this "news" places him in much more, er, jeopardy, than if he had done it in court.
He obviously knows how the game is played, down to the pre-emption of news damaging to the White House by tennis.

Found this from another comment (SFMike):
Gore Vidal interview in December '03
Yet you saw in the '60s how the Johnson administration collapsed under the weight of its own hubris. Likewise with Nixon. And now with the discontent over how the war in Iraq is playing out, don't you get the impression that Bush is headed for the same fate?
I actually see something smaller tripping him up: this business over outing the wife of Ambassador Wilson as a CIA agent. It's often these small things that get you. Something small enough for a court to get its teeth into. Putting this woman at risk because of anger over what her husband has done is bitchy, dangerous to the nation, dangerous to other CIA agents. This resonates more than Iraq. I'm afraid that 90 percent of Americans don't know where Iraq is and never will know, and they don't care.

Someone tell me again why the Washington Mall isn't being occupied 24/7 by people demanding Bush's head over all of this
Why? Because Halliburton is too busy sucking up money in Iraq to get going with their contract to build the Mall guillotine. When they finally get around to it, then we may get some satisfaction to our demand for Bush's head.

Now that I recall my French literature, I'm convinced Karl should not be sent to Leavenworth. Next thing you know he'll have Penguin publishing his tell-all in paperback.
I can see Karl's marketing genius at work already. He'll position the bio in the context of that famous neo-classical by co-opting the de Sade's famous title.

Indeedy. However, then it was only a matter of a cheap, bungled burglary and a few reputations trashed. This time we are talking of 100,000+ dead people. To say nothing of our Republic on the verge of collapse.
I never thought w would finish up the first term, since he has never finished anything he started in his entire sorry life. One of the few times I was really surprised. But now, well, I would not be surprised if he resigned sometime in the next year.

Plame Grand Jury Wants Records for Air Force One Phone Calls
NEW YORK Adding to the growing intrigue in the Plame case, the grand jury investigating the leak of the covert CIA operative's name subpoenaed has a wide range of White House documents, including records of telephone calls from Air Force One and information relating to an internal working group dealing with Iraq, government sources confirmed to CNN on Friday.
"We are complying fully with the request from the Department of Justice," White House spokesman Scott McClellan told reporters Friday.
Government sources told CNN the federal grand jury was seeking any information about contacts between White House officials and more than two dozen reporters. The grand jury also asked for a transcript of a briefing by former White House spokesman Ari Fleischer.
The subpoenaed information regarding telephone calls to and from Air Force One, sources said, covered July 7-12, while the president was on a trip to Africa. The requested transcript was from a briefing during that trip as well.
etc.

Further . . .
The E&P report has even better news - that the grand jury is going after the WHIG! Sweet Jesus!
Many of the documents subpoenaed Friday relate to the White House Iraq Group, a little-known task force. Newsweek reported that the group was created in August 2002.
The Newsweek report cites an earlier Washington Post article that lists senior political adviser Karl Rove, Bush advisers Karen Hughes and Mary Matalin, national security adviser Condoleezza Rice and Vice President Dick Cheney among the group's members.

There's a video of Bush saying "Gee, I don't think we'll ever find out who leaked," looking like a total liar.
Bush at a minimum knew about the conspiracy to smear Wilson, and he may have approved of it. The Bushists are so stupid they let Bush get his fingerprints on this. They are so arrogant they thought they would never be caught.

The Adventures of Miles Cowperthwaite with Karl Rove as Miles Cowperthwaite.
On board the swift boat "Raging Queen" somewhere on the Mekong...
Chapter Two: 'I Am Nailed To The Hull'.
"It having been determined by my benefactor that a term of service at sea would make a man, I accordingly left Pinckley Hall in the company of Captain Ned, and put out from Bristol aboard his ship The Raging Queen.
Captain Ned, I learned from my shipmates, was a very manly, virile, manful person, and a firm believer in strict discipline, corporal punishment, and nude apartment wrestling. How truly strict he was, I learned on our first day out of port, when out First Mate called all hands on deck for an important annoucement."
[ dissolve onto scenes aboard The Raging Queen ]
[ First Mate Spunk rings the deck bell ]
First Mate Spunk: Alright, please, everybody, please! Welcome aboard The Raging Queen! Now, of course, I can't possibly introduce everybody, so you're just going to have to wear your little name tags. And if that's the worst thing you'll wear on this voyage, you're lucky. Now, before I introduce Captain Ned, there's some quiche over here, some salad, and some banana bread in the bowl, and there should be a brie around, if someone hasn't eaten it. And now, here is our own Captain Ned!
[ Captain Ned steps up ]
Captain Ned: Thank you, Mr. Spunk. Gentlemen, we have on board a young man whose name is Miles Cowperthwaite! And I have promised his guardian to teach him the man's life at sea! To show him man's ports, such as Key West and San Fransisco! I expect him to be treated manfully! Well, Miles, have you anything to say?
Miles Cowperthwaite: [ stsnds, cheerful ] Well.. I'm very grateful for this opportunity, Captain Ned! Up 'til now, my life has been the most degrading, pathetic, soul-destroying, humiliating, awful grovel..
Captain Ned: [ interrupting ] That's enough, Miles.. [ Miles sits ] Now, men, I run a mans' ship. I will run it in a manful and masculine way! I will tolerate no men under my command who act in such a way so as to discredit their manhood and manliness! Do I make myself clear?
First Mate Spunk: Three cheer for Captain Ned!
