77. No, actually, it doesn't
It places me in a faction that looks at a story that had "DONE" stamped all over it, then said "MAYBE NOT", then said "SOON", now says "WE"RE PRETTY SURE." To think that someone is anti-anything because of that is not correct.

Please, stop with the straw man "you don't want to see this played out" argument. According to the story it HAS been played out. It's already done. Over. Karl should be packed and gone. THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN.. Now you want me to just have faith. When does the faith end? If Rove gets indited next week, was TO correct? Next month? Next year?

The facts are these: TO said he was already indited. He has not been. They were wrong. If he gets indited, I will do the mother of all happy dances from now until my legs fall off. But the fact will still remain that the story was wrong.

That is ALL the argument has ever been about. Not about who we like, or who we don't. Not about whether we think Karl should get 20 years, or 10. Not about whether certain folks are too strident, or too docile. It's all about having journalistic responsibity for what comes off your keyboard. If you don't think so, then replace "Rove" with "Hillary", have Drudge post an article that says she has been already served with new(!) Whitewater papers, and she has 24 hours to get her affairs in order. The next day, read where Drudge has clarified the 24 hours into 24 business hours, then watch day after day go by without anything coming to fruition. I don't know about you, but I'd be screaming BS for all I'm worth.

If you let emotion enter into it then you may as well pack it in, because your conclusions will meet your expectations every time.
