If Rove has perjured himself, then this story is providing him legitimizing cover. All it does is report on a leak of grand jury testimony (a federal offense, IIRC) which repeats Rove's testimony which may be false.

The mainstream media completely disgusts me at this point. This is a much bigger story than Watergate was at this time in its investigation, and already the story is getting dropped from the top news because it's so complex that the average American just doesn't want to care about it.

[O]nly 41 percent give Bush good marks for being “honest and straightforward” — his lowest ranking on this question since he became president. That’s a drop of nine percentage points since January, when a majority (50 percent to 36 percent) indicated that he was honest and straightforward. This finding comes at a time when the Bush administration is battling the perception that its rhetoric doesn’t match the realities in Iraq, and also allegations that chief political adviser Karl Rove leaked sensitive information about a CIA agent to a reporter. (The survey, however, was taken just before these allegations about Rove exploded into the current controversy.)

lameautarch called this afternoon and found out that I hadn't had any lunch, so he stopped at Panera and got me broccoli soup and a side salad. He brought it right to my desk and stayed for about ten minutes, helping me destress. That was so nice of him.

Now I can take my supplements, too, which is a Good Thing (tm).
