WHEN THE FAT MAN SINGS

IT MAY NOT BE OVER TIL THE FAT MAN SINGS  And If Karl Rove Ever Does Sing, One of the High Notes probably won’t be whether he identified Valerie Plame by “name” or merely as “Joe Wilson’s wife.”

A White House spokesman long ago asserted that Rove was "not involved" in disclosing Plame's identity. Rove, who has testified before a grand jury investigating the case, likewise has maintained that he did not break the law, saying in a television interview, "I didn't know her name, and I didn't leak her name."

REVEALING “IDENTITY” AND REVEALING “NAME” nudge, nudge, wink, wink makes Clinton’s defining what “Is” is look like  something a trivial thing to bring a government to a standstill.  Something new and different blows here.
No administration in history has ever had greater success in manipulating the media to make black over into white and to have it read as truth. Using the media’s own oaths to protect sources to reveal agent’s identities, if not in name, but in reality “is” something that blows a yet more cynical wind among the many monuments of infamy now found in Washington.

Parse for the course with this administration. Luntz and Company are due the Nobel for this nefarious art form. Da Prez's performance in W. Virginia was particularly galling, and Ari Fleischer's linguistic softshoe on Gannon was a model of misdirection. But I would be remiss to overlook Bush's insistence long before the current desert war that plans for Iraq were "not on my desk."
