As Karl Rove Morphs Into Susan Smith...
Well, after a brief, but well-earned respite from BushRove-gate for the nomination of conservative Judge Orange Alert to a SCOTUS seat, we return to our happy warriors.0 comments
From The American Prospect:
An Unlikely Story: Karl Rove's alibi would be easier to believe if he hadn't hidden it from FBI investigators in 2003.
By Murray Waas
White House deputy chief of staff Karl Rove did not disclose that he had ever discussed CIA officer Valerie Plame with Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper during Rove’s first interview with the FBI, according to legal sources with firsthand knowledge of the matter.
Oops... . I hate when I forget things I meant to say, too.
The omission by Rove created doubt for federal investigators, almost from the inception of their criminal probe into who leaked Plame's name to columnist Robert Novak, as to whether Rove was withholding crucial information from them, and perhaps even misleading or lying to them, the sources said.
Also leading to the early skepticism of Rove's accounts was the claim that although he first heard that Plame worked for the CIA from a journalist, he said could not recall the name of the journalist. Later, the sources said, Rove wavered even further, saying he was not sure at all where he first heard the information.
Next, BushRove will be leaking that the journalist was a black man, whoever he was. Or maybe, "it was an Hispanic man...Yeah, it was an Hispanic guy. No...Actually, it was a black guy after all. Can't recall, the light wasn't great in that parking garage, y'know?"
