(WashPost) Rove Will Not Be Charged In CIA Leak Case, Lawyer Says

(WashPost/AP) AP Blog: Bush Visit Shocks Iraq Reporters

(WashPost/Reuters) Clashes, car bomb as Iraq launches Baghdad sweep

Well, there you have it…another Karl Rove engineered leak. This article: (Truthout) Karl Rove Indicted on Charges of Perjury, Lying to Investigators was the talk of the blogosphere a month ago. Everyone kept waiting and waiting for Rove to finally get a comuppance, but as more and more time went by, the less likely it looked that it would happen. Now it’s official. Whenever there’s a leak regarding Karl Rove, the safest assumption is that the source of the leak is Karl himself and the question always is, what strategem is he playing? This time, I think he was trying to force the issue of indictment or non-indictment. If indictment, then he could operate without the THREAT of indictment over his head. If non-indictment, he could spin it so he would appear truthful. In fact, that’s exactly how Pete Yost (AP Analysis: Telling FBI the Truth Saved Rove) is reporting it. We here at HAIL DUBYUS! were dubious about the indictment story to start with. In the meantime, El Presidente zipped into Baghdad, told the puppet al-Maliki we were standing behind him, took a few photos and zipped out again. If you blinked, you missed it.

This Is For Shooting, This Is For Fun (Well, BOTH Are For Shooting LOL)

I say, give him back the gun, with the admonition, “Do the right thing, Tom…” LOL

THIS JUST IN: DELAY RUNS AWAY!

(WashPost) DeLay to Resign From Congress: Associates Say Reelection Fears, Not Criminal Probe, Led to Republican’s Decision

Well, it’s not as good as doing the right thing >:-) but it shows what a person of Delay’s character does when confronted… “This had become a referendum on me,” he told Time in an article posted on the magazine’s Web site last night. “So it’s better for me to step aside and let it be a referendum on ideas, Republican values and what’s important for this district.” I wish this ilk would think LESS of Republican values and more about American values. And directly from his interview in TIME: “I have had hundreds of people work for me. Unfortunately, there’s three[~]one that we let go, Scanlon[~]that I don’t yet, I’ll wait until they’re found guilty. But it looks like they have violated the trust of my office…” What about OUR trust, Tommy? And later, about himself, “Everybody does some things[~]we’re all sinners.” Let me clue you in Tommy, GREED isn’t just about money–it’s about lack of charity and lust for power…and those you have in abundance…
