| MSNBC is reporting that Novak was told twice not to out Ms Plame. If I were him, I'd be doubly cautious about lighting up any gift cigars. |

Some Pull 'Doonesbury' Over Rove Moniker
Wednesday, July 27, 2005; Posted: 10:25 a.m. EDT (14:25 GMT)
"Doonesbury" made reference to a slightly off-color nickname for presidential adviser Karl Rove.
QUICKVOTE
Should newspaper editors have pulled the "Doonesbury" comic strips that use a colorful nickname for Karl Rove?
Yes
No
KANSAS CITY, Missouri (AP) -- It may be President Bush's nickname for key political adviser Karl Rove, but some editors don't think it belongs in their newspapers.
About a dozen papers objected to Tuesday's and Wednesday's "Doonesbury" comic strips, and some either pulled or edited them.
The strips refer to Rove, the White House deputy chief of staff, as "Turd Blossom."

Let us remember Clinton. A special investigation of real estate deals in Arkansas ended in a discussion of fellatio. Was that a non-story?
I don't think so. |
A bit of opinion of interest from Working For Change :
Defenders of the Bush White House have every right to whine about the Fitzgerald probe and the habitual excess of special counsels, no matter how lustily they once cheered the Starr inquisition. But while they'll ignore the obvious differences, with characteristic hypocrisy, that doesn't mean we have to.
The most telling contrast can be found in the matters under investigation. Mr. Starr spent tens of millions of dollars trying to prove wrongdoing by the Clintons in a defunct, money-losing land development that ended several years before they entered the White House. Somehow the Republicans -- and certain news organizations -- became convinced that those meaningless events raised questions of great national urgency.
Mr. Fitzgerald isn't looking into musty real-estate deals. He is investigating the alleged misuse of classified information by White House officials to silence a critic, and their apparent cover-up of that potentially very serious crime. Those obscure real-estate dealings in rural Arkansas probably didn't compromise national security, while the exposure of a C.I.A. official and her corporate cover may well have done so.
There is no partisan issue here. Mr. Fitzgerald is a Republican appointee, named by a Republican Justice Department to investigate alleged misconduct in a Republican administration, at the urging of a Republican President and his C.I.A. director. Mr. Starr was a Republican, appointed by a Republican-dominated judicial panel to investigate alleged misconduct by a Democratic President and his aides. |

| I just downloaded and watched "Bush's Brain" which was a documentary based on the book about Karl Rove. It was very revealing and in-depth and one thing that was a reorccuring theme was that Karl Rove will do anything to win if he sees that the ends justify the means. I think this speaks volumes regarding this whole Joe Wilson and wife ordeal. |
