Oh, I don't think you'd have to go that far. But the period between Wilson's Op/Ed and Novak's column? Definitely!

What's your take on these leaks? They've got to be coming from the lawyers, don't they?

Attorneys taking leaks? Don't they just use the bathroom like everyone else?

Get it? Plame Game? Plame Game. Plame instead of Blame. Isn't that clever? Ha-ha. Heh... heh....

Never mind.

I still don't get any of this shenanigans. I guess I'll just have to wait until the Fitzgerald announcement...


Whatever the outcome, I love this picture:

I think the leaks come from people with political agendas, whatever they may be. They could be coming from those with a right-leaning stance, making things sound worse than they are so that when indictments come they are no big deal. They could be coming from those with a left-leaning stance, making things seems worse than they are to try to inflict political damage prior to something coming out that isn't really that bad. I can't really think of a reason to understate what the real charges may be, but I'm sure there are politcially savvy reasons for someone to do so.

I have no idea about the leaks, really. All I know is that to pay attention to any of them serves no purpose. Whatever is being leaked, I don't believe it can really be trusted. I'll just wait until the charges, if any, are announced.

Wow. If Rove gets it, it'll be like Xmas!

CNN Article

Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald is focusing his investigation into the leak of a CIA operative's identity on whether White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove committed perjury, two lawyers involved in the case told CNN.

Fitzgerald is expected to announce Friday the results of his investigation and whether he has come up with indictments, a source said.
