The Bottom Line on Rovegate: Via the bombastic and crass yet loveable Bartcop: Bart, what law or laws did Rove break by referring to Valerie Plame? Did you know that she wasn't a covert agent? Carson, I'm not a lawyer. I don't know if Rove committed a crime, but I know he lied, I know Bush lied and I know Scotty McClellan lies every day. For two years, they said, "We're not involved." Then, after getting caught, they changed that to, "It's not really a crime." If it's not a crime, why lie and hide the facts that aren't crimes? It's like Karl Rove robbed the bank, then after getting caught, they claim the money he stole was counterfeit - proving he's an honest man. No, honest men don't rob the bank and then lie about it.. This is the bottom line in this whole sordid affair. This administration told a baldfaced lie to the American people, and they got caught. Aside from the 30% of Americans who would believe anything the president if he said he could lay golden eggs, the vast majority aren't buying it. The only strategy left for this Administration is a distraction ploy...I predict a major "crisis" this week if the Roberts nomination doesn't push Rove from the front pages.
