Fair game
Fitzgerald may not have indicted you, but you're still a slimeball.
[Doughy pantload] Jonah Goldberg has this one line post up at The Corner: "So where does Karl Rove report to get his reputation back?"
Now, I'm happy to take Patrick Fitzgerald's word for it, his evaluation of the evidence, that there's not enough evidence to indict Rove on any criminal charge.
But none of this changes the fact, for which there is abundant evidence, even admissions from Rove himself, that he did the malicious act. And he lied about doing it. Indeed, on top of that, President Bush welched on his promise to can anyone who was involved.
So, what reputation is it exactly that Rove wants back? I think this development leaves Rove's reputation quite intact.
