Furthermore, as I posted elsewhere (sorry to be repetitive), this may be an even better outcome, as far as rove is concerned, than if he just plain-n-simple had been indicted. At least if that had happened, there'd be no gnawing doubts, no dangling participles. That would have been it. The amputation would have been performed and that would have been that. THIS, on the other hand, with the investigation continuing, and the cloud still hanging over his head, is like the festering wound at the end of the toe being left to grow and metastasize, and spread via the bloodstream throughout the body. This does nothing to heal the infection. This does nothing to stanch the blood flow. This hasn't made the storm clouds clear away. Not at all. This is gonna STAY hanging over karl's head. He will continue to be distracted. The worst part is the not knowing, the suspense, the cliff-hanger that has you tied up all summer after the season-finale left you with only half the story and the lead characters hanging by their fingernails from the edge of the cliff.
This is exactly where we like karl to be: in limbo. Not knowing. Still having to defend. Still having to fight. Still having to try to out-think and out-maneuver. Still having his hands full with this when he'd MUCH rather get a clean bill of health to go back to savaging Democrats and promoting the son-of-Satan. Now, he can't. He's still stuck. And he WON'T be able to get much done, especially now that the press is on it, too. He'll WISH for the days when it was just a small gaggle of reporters waiting for him to climb into his jaguar and shine his brights into their camera lenses in the morning. He'll GRIEVE for the days when he could operate in the shadows and be the grand manipulator and schemer and ruiner of other people's lives. Now it's HIS life that stands to be ruined.
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy (cue the dripping sarcasm and the violins, please).
FUCK YOU, karl. Enjoy the bed you made. You know the one - covered with shit and fleas and maggots and bacteria? You get to lie down in it now.
