Plamegate turns into Rovegate

Scooter Libby Won't Take Fall for Rove

Apparently Lewis Libby has drawn the line. (Why would a gray haired fart call himself Scooter?) His lawyer said Libby was the fall guy for the Bush Administration (which seems like something Libby could have told the special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald months ago.)

When the whole story broke in 2003 I heard an interview with (Valerie) Plame's husband Joe Wilson, a former ambassador, who quite positively stated that Karl Rove was the guilty party that revealed his wife's CIA secret identity to that columnist of right wing bullshit, Robert Novak. Wilson later apologized for the accusation.

Special Prosecutor Fitzgerald did his duty by absolving Rove in time for him to "mastermind" the GOP candidates in this (off) year election. Oooops.

So now Fitzgerald has to prosecute the innocent guy to protect Rove. Nice.

My only regret is that they couldn't pin the whole thing on Cheney, Libby's boss at the time all hell broke loose.

To show how seriously the Bush administration wants to punish dissidents, the law they knowingly broke protecting the identity of CIA operatives was signed by Baby Bush's Papa.
