The Earth's rotation is slowing. Does that mean I can sleep later tomorrow?

Pasty, traitorous asshat using and abusing the 1st Amendment

Journalists as a community have been played for patsies by the president’s chief strategist, Karl Rove.

[W]hen former US Ambassador Joseph Wilson challenged President Bush’s embrace of the British notion that Saddam Hussein imported uranium from Niger to produce nuclear weapons, retaliation by Rove was never in doubt.

Rewarding a traitor

"If there's a leak in my administration," said Preznit GameBoy, "I want to know who it is. And that person would be taken care of."

With this administration, that means awarding yet another Medal of Freedom.

For all intent and purposes, the man in President's pilot seat is a traitor -- a traitor to his county and to those who put their lives on the line for his country. For this time, no matter how much lipstick they try to put on this pig, he is still a swine. It's time to put a fork in Karl Rove.

Karl and karma

The simple, unavoidable truth is that Karl Rove orchestrated the leak of Valerie Plame's identity.

No one who knows this man and has watched him work has any doubt that Rove came up with the idea of the leak and then set the plan in motion. Having watched him as he leaked, lied, obfuscated, and denied for political goals over the past 25 years, my own conviction of Rove's involvement is unwavering. He has a history of seeking revenge and the Texas landscape is cluttered with political cadavers he left behind before departing for the big show.

In every campaign Rove has managed, there have been questionable tactics and unethical attacks. None of them has happened by accident because nothing that happens in Rove's world is accidental. And neither was the exposure of Ms. Plame.

Hey, at least it wasn't a blowjob...

CNN's AARON BROWN: Now, here's what's not clear to me. There are a couple of things. Is it clear that this is now about who leaked to whomever? To Novak or Cooper or Miller or anybody? Or is this now a perjury investigation?

LAWRENCE O'DONNELL: We are probably beyond the leak investigation and on to the perjury investigation.

AARON BROWN: Ten seconds. Do you think Karl Rove's going down on this?

LAWRENCE O'DONNELL: I think Karl Rove is in a position where he may lose his job, but it is hard for me to see where the crime would be for Karl Rove. I think he's too smart for perjury and I don't think he's actually qualified to have committed the original crime.
