Reply #33: Why was "Rove defense spokesman Mark Corallo" so willing to be quoted

[TahitiNut]

... on the record? In a story lasting for so long where the 'sources' on both sides have been extraordinarily shy about having their names or positions identified, why is Corallo being so candid and 'plain-spoken' on a story that's only been published in the Land of Blog? I find this a bit bemusing. Why not wait and let the fuse fizzle and the expectant mobs rage against the blogger who cried Wolf? Why not let those who hunger tuck their napkins in deeper and whet their appetites until they're ravenous and willing to eat the messenger? There's something very Rovian going on.
