The "affair" itself turns out not to have been such a big deal. The impact it had and continues to have on the administration was and is massive. It ripped the mask off Rove and declared it open season on all of them.
Coming along after the fact and saying, "Oh, see, we told you, it wasn't any big deal," just doesn't do justice to the smoking crater that the thing left.
