Rove-Bush I
As evidence mounts that Karl Rove leaked CIA agent Valerie
Plame’s name to the news media, there are doubts whether
President Bush will carry out his promise to fire anyone found to
have leaked classified information. But that’s only because
it was Karl Rove who told him to make that promise.
Rove-Bush II
As evidence mounts that Karl Rove leaked CIA agent Valerie
Plame’s name to the news media, there are doubts whether
President Bush will carry out his promise to fire anyone found to
have leaked the CIA operative's identity. That’s because
without Rove, Bush would be left without a political strategist,
a friend, and someone nice to tuck him in at night and tell him
he’s a really, really good president.
Rove Clearance
In light of the allegations against Rove, some Senators have
called on President Bush to shut him out of classified
meetings… but if Rove isn’t there, who will let
President Bush in?
Rove News Media
The news media is jumping on the Karl Rove/White House leak story
with gusto. CBS wants to know if Rove committed a crime, the New
York Times hopes to discover whether he was the only informant,
and MSNBC wants to find out if Rove knows where that girl in
Aruba is too.
