Plame Gossip

This report from David Schuster is probably the best, most complete TV reporting on the leaks. He's been good on Plame throughout, but yesterday's report on Bush's "declassification" is excellent. C'mon MSNBC, let's give the guy his own show.

Also, Christy at Firedoglake adds a nasty little insinuation that the "throw Cheney under the bus" movement may have Karl Rove planting stories. Particularly interesting when coupled with the current indictment threat by Fitzgerald, and Rove's ability to take a plea and suddenly turn state's evidence against Cheney.

If this is true, the "throw Cheney under the bus" movement is simply prelude to Rove opening up to Fitzgerald. Think Fitzgerald would accept the only testimony that Rove thinks expedient? Am I too far out on a limb to revive the "Fitzgerald's hunting Cheney" line?

I don't know. Reading tea leaves is mostly charlatanism, but even a fake fortune teller is right once in awhile.

ThinkProgress links to a Gallup poll on the Plame case: "Overall, 63% of Americans believe Bush did something either illegal (21%) or unethical (42%), while 28% say he did nothing wrong." (no idea of the internals.)
