More Karl
With so many news organizations and bloggers weighing in on the Rove/Plame game I hesitate to add my two cents, but something is compelling me to do so anyway. Given the history of the White House, it seems rather inconceivable that the President will live up to his promise to actually fire Karl. Despite the fact that he clearly said that he would fire anyone involved in "outing" Plame, GW will use whatever semantics he is told to use to wiggle out of his commitment. Republicans will contend that Rove did not technically reveal Plame's name, which is true, but not the intent behind the President's pledge. Rove was clearly involved in disclosing her identity. It seems to me that whether he actually said something to Novak or Miller is irrelevant. He was involved. Maybe he had an underling actually transfer information, that still signifies that he was involved.
I listened to Pat Buchanan this morning on Imus. Of course he defended Rove. What would one expect from a cheerleader. When Clinton lied before the Grand Jury many Democrats accepted the fact that what he did was wrong, however they did not think that it was an impeachable offense, but they never said he did not lie. Here we have a case where Rove definitely acted improperly. That does not mean that he is guilty of a crime, but he was involved. Buchanan's statements only reinforce a public's perception that politicians can't be trusted because they refuse to call a spade a spade even when it is face up on the table.
