With the long holiday weekend upon us, those parts of the blogworld that have not taken off to enjoy some time away from their computers have settled in for a nice long spell of speculation about Karl Rove, the Plame leak, and the best question of all: Who told Rove? Digby in particular has been on a roll in the last day or so, but there’s plenty of other good stuff out there as well if you want to spend time in front of your PC instead of out barbecuing this weekend.
As much as I would love to see Rove’s career go down in flames and take the rest of the right wingers with him, I’m sceptical it will happen. The right wing machine has had a long time to study not only Watergate but l’affaire Clinton for “what not to do”, and if nothing else, those guys are good at covering their tracks. I seriously doubt a legal case will be able to be successfully prosecuted, even assuming there’s a DA willing to press charges.
Perhaps I’m too much of a pessamist here. I’d love to be proven wrong.
