Dump-In-A-Rove
As Mrs. DIB would say, Boo and Ya.
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The White House is suddenly facing damaging evidence that it misled the public by insisting for two years that presidential adviser Karl Rove wasn't involved in leaking the identity of a female CIA officer.
President Bush, at an Oval Office photo opportunity Tuesday, was asked directly whether he would fire Rove -- in keeping with a pledge in June, 2004, to dismiss any leakers in the case. The president did not respond.
For the second day, White House press secretary Scott McClellan refused to answer questions about Rove.
I hope they fire that asshole. And I really hope that they keep getting drilled on lies like this.
The excellent blog Talking Points Memo has done an excellent job covering this story for a really, really long time.

Of course he won't be fired. The administration still stands by most of their other lies; why would they bother to act on this one?

Republican officials have now issued a "talking points" paper to republican leaders about how to get around this and blame it on the deomcrats for wanting him fired. What's the best, is that they admit that they hope the pres nominates a supreme court justice soon so that will take the limelight off Rove!! Here's the quote from the San Jose Mercury News today:
"Mehlman, who said he had talked with Rove several times in recent days, instructed GOP legislators, lobbyists and state officials to accuse Democrats of dirty politics and argue Rove was guilty of nothing more than discouraging a reporter from writing an inaccurate story, according to RNC talking points circulated Tuesday.
``Republicans should stop holding back and go on the offense: Fire enough bullets the other way until the Supreme Court overtakes'' events, said Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y.."
