Schadenfreude

Ha ha ha ha Scott McClellan is a big douche! (Link is transcript of today's press briefing.)

Finally the White House Press Corps throws down the shackles of oppression and realizes that a press corps united shall never be defeated.

More seriously, watching this whole Rove thing play out is very interesting. In case you missed it, it is now confirmed that Karl 'Turd Blossom" Rove was the one who leaked Valerie Plame. Now the White House is trying to spin it. They're saying, it seems, both that he didn't know that she was undercover and that he never named her by name - just as "Joe Wilson's wife." Which is sort of like being, "I didn't out Tom Cruise - I just said Katie Holmes's fiance is gay."

I think it is totally possible that Rove will neither be prosecuted nor fired. I think they will grease their way out of this one, either with some way of discrediting the reports or distracting us with something else (like, I dunno, a terror bombing) or lie (always an option) or just through slippery legalisms. Sort of 'depends on what the meaning of 'is' is' stuff. But no matter the outcome, I don't think this is going to reflect well on them.

Heh heh.

Hopefully it will put their credibilty in the crapper in time to allow the Dems to put up a half-decent SCOTUS fight.
