Here's my LTTE on Rove in today's paper.

[norml]

‘They' say a lot of things

The GOP talking points say Valerie Plame, the wife of Joseph Wilson, was not covert, when in fact she was.

They say Karl Rove didn't leak her name, when in fact her name was not the secret, her identity was, and that's what Karl Rove leaked.

They claim Karl Rove didn't know Valerie Plame was covert, so why doesn't he state this for the record?

They say the Butler Report vindicated President Bush's State of the Union claim of Saddam seeking uranium in Africa, when in fact the Butler Report was a whitewash intended to exonerate Tony Blair and George Bush by excluding information which showed such Saddam-seeking-uranium claims to be false.

They claim Karl Rove isn't a target of Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald's investigation, when in fact he is a subject of the investigation.

They say the White House and the GOP can't comment because of the ongoing investigation, when in fact they felt free to call the questions regarding Rove and his role "totally ridiculous" until the latest story broke.

They say a lot of things, all of them lies, and when they run out of lies, all they have to say is "no comment."
