When Not Is News
So when is something not happening news? When it's Karl Rove Not being indicted. Why is his not getting indicted news? Because a lot of people on the left were convinced he would be, and since most people in the news media were also convinced (since there is of course no overlap between lefties and the news media according to both lefties and the news media) that he would be, his not being indicted is almost bigger news than if he had been. Tom Maguire, who's been all over this story from conception, has the story. I'm still wondering who's worse, Nifong or Fitzgerald.
What a depressing day. Karl Rove will not face prosecution. Karl Rove is a scumbag and a crook. He has a long history of breaking the law. He just is good at getting away with it. He probably implicated someone else or bolstered the case against Libby to not get charged.

Since the Libby indictment seems to be built on jello, I'm thinking the Rove indictment would have to have been built on shaving cream.
As far as your remark about Mr. Rove, I don't think there is any history of him breaking the law, just a lot of wishful thinking on the part of certain people.

They just might be one and the same person...
