Hee Hee, Ho Ho, Karl Rove has got to go!

It's clear that Karl Rove was involved in the leak. It
is also clear that the White House said anyone
involved in the leak would have to go. And it is clear
that the White House lied through its spokesperson,
Scott McClelland, about Rove right up until the point
where it became clear that Rove was one of the two
sources for the leak. (Just the facts, ma'am.)

All that being said, this is still something of a
smokescreen to divert our (the American public's)
attention away from the fact that the President lied
to us about the intelligence gathered prior to going
to war in Iraq (and therefore its justification). And
if THAT isn't an impeachable crime, I don't know what
one should be.

As Frank Rich wrote today (Sunday, July 17, 2005) in
his column, titled "Follow the Uranium", on the Op/Ed
page of the NY Times:

"Seasoned audiences of presidential scandal know that
there's only one certainty ahead: the timing of a Karl
Rove resignation. As always in this genre, the knight
takes the fall at exactly that moment when it's
essential to protect the king."
