That was absolutely part of it. When you're playing chess, you don't pass up an opportunity to capture the Queen. Rove is the most dangerous player on the right at the moment. You better believe that his opponents are going to exploit any vulnerability.
I love the way the right goes wide-eyed innocent when they're the target of political activity--especially against their single biggest political "dirty-fighter". Rove has run dozens of nasty, nasty campaigns. He's likely the guy who got Diebold to hand over the elections in 2000 and 2004. He's alledged to be behind most of the massive voting irregularities in Ohio and Florida in 2004. Just because he wasn't the man behind the curtain on this one doesn't suddenly turn him clean. He's the architect of the modern smear campaign. Pull out the word "slander" if you want: pot, kettle, black.
But nobody's dealing with what's actually going on, so I'll keep saying it.
THE WHOLE GOD DAMN THING IS A SMOKESCREEN. We're dealing with this "who leaked what when and why" bullshit because the administration doesn't want us dealing with what actually happened. What actually happened was, the administration claimed that Iraq had purchased materials for nuclear weapons, when no such thing ever took place, and their intel was telling them that no such thing ever took place. They used that lie as part of their enormous tapestry of fabrication to justify a war that has cost billions of dollars and tens of thousands of lives. WHY AREN'T WE TALKING ABOUT THE REAL SCANDAL HERE???
I'd bet money that the Rove parts of this post get replied to and the WHAT THE HELL ARE WE DOING NOT TALKING ABOUT THE REAL SCANDAL parts of this post get roundly ignored by our local conservatives. C'mon, SOMEBODY prove me wrong.
