"If there's a leak out of my administration, I want to know who it is. If the person has violated law, that person will be taken care of." - President Bush.

"If anyone in this administration was involved in it, they would no longer be in this administration." - Scott McClellan.

"If a Democrat had done that, Republicans would call it treason." - Paul Krugman.

"Quit playin' with yourself, Hoopah!" - Quint, to Matt Hooper, Jaws.


Turdgate

Accountability
Traitorous media leaked CIA operative's name to poor innocent Karl Rove.

LOLOL: Turd Blossom is now saying he learned Valerie Plame's name from - - conservative columnist and crabby misadministration towelboy Bob Novak.


Why does Boob Novak hate America?

The outing of a coward
It wasn't me! I didn't name her! Well, maybe I did - but it was Novak's fault! He made me! Joey Wilson's a liar! Wahhhhhh!

On TV recently, I called Matt Cooper's then-unknown source a thug, someone watching from a privileged perch in the White House as Cooper went through hell in the Valerie Plame case.

Now that I know the source was Karl Rove, I would like to revise and extend my remarks. Rove is not a thug, he is a coward. He could have come clean long ago, saved millions in taxpayers' dollars and spared everyone a lot of agony. Instead, we've had a two-year investigation to find out what President Bush could have learned by walking across the hall.
***
Without Rove to construct them, the talking points are atrocious. All day Tuesday, for example, Republicans defended his leak: After all, he didn't reveal the name of that woman, Plame. Isn't that the kind of parsing Republicans jumped on Bill Clinton for?
