Is it me or is Karl Rove a Dead Man?

Not that it matters, because even if the White House is forced to fire him, I'm sure he'll still be calling the shots somehow. Regardless, I am incensed by what I heard on the News Hour with Jim Leher this evening :

Rove's attorney has confirmed Newsweek's account that Rove discussed Plame with Time without naming her. He said Rove's focue was not to identify Plame, but to influence coverage of her husbands statement.

In other words, in his attempt to shift focus off of Joe Wilson's statements that Iraq didn't attempt to get uranium from Niger by personally attacking him and making Wilson the story, not the uranium (a classic Karl Rove tactic), while subsequently sending out the message to anyone else who may dispute the administrations claims that they could be attacked as well, Rove discussed Joe Wilson's wife with Time, but not with the intent of exposing her as an undercover CIA agent (thus blowing her cover and creating a national security risk), as that last part is ILLEGAL. The rest is just underhanded.

On a separate note.. I always thought Brian McKnight was a singer of some sort. Is there another Brian McKnight, because I just felt the need to block my ears during the national anthem.-----

    Everything has changed. Nothing has changed. I don't want to go through this again. I can't live without it. I'm sure I can handle it. I couldn't imagine it any other way.
    And if none of this makes sense... well, you obviously aren't a Red Sox fan.
