Cool!
Karl Rove takes a moment to wipe brow, change underpants as new "attempts at explosions" are reported in London.

Pundits predicted the White House gambit of moving forward a Supreme Court pick would knock Karl Rove's involvement in the CIA leak case off page one for days. That became "day," thanks to the Washington Post this morning.
