Indictment Bingo!
From www.wonkette.com:



Today the Washington Post backs up what we'd been hearing: Indictments in the CIA leak investigation may come down as early as tomorrow. With that in mind, we'd like to ask the Wonkette audience to play Indictment Bingo. Send us your picks for who will get indicted and what they will be indicted for (UPDATE: People seem to be forgetting this part of the contest. It's important!); the three entries coming closest to the actual grand jury report will receive lovely parting gifts:

• Third Prize: Air Force One M&Ms
• Second Prize: A DVD of "Animal House"
• First Prize: Breakfast for two at the St. Regis

Send your entries to tips@wonkette.com , with "Indictment Bingo" in the subject line. We'll accept submissions right up until the report is released, so make sure your computer's time stamp is correct!

Too complicated for you? Feel free to play along at home with the accompanying clip-and-save Indictment Bingo card. Simply cross out names as they are indicted. When an entire row is blacked out ("ham sandwich" is a free space), shout "Restore honor and dignity to the White House!" We all lose. -- WONKETTE

1. Rove for two
.I think that Rove may receive at least 2 indictments and others will receive at least one apiece. The numbers of leakers (original sources) and officials needed for confirmation of the story MILITATES planning. When we consider that there were 6 reported contacts or original sources (John Dean says 6; we know of two: Rove and Libby) and multiple (3-4) confirming sources, it becomes apparent what occurred. One administrative official discovered the Plame-Wilson-Niger relationship, took it to the White House Iraq Group, turned it over to Rove, who on the spot assigned tasks to different primary leakers/sources assuring no source called another source's contact (so as not to appear too eager), that no source's "pitch" was exactly the same but that their information was all given in an "off hand" manner (e.g., "Don't go too far out on this Wilson thing, I don't want you burnt").

To have 6 calls from 3 leakers is an indication of a coordinated endeavor. If there were the 6 leakers as Dean claims would make the case even more damning. But also consider the planning necessary to have enough confirming sources. Unsure of who the reporters may call to confirm, someone would have to make sure at least 2 other officials were ready and willing to confirm if called.

Therefore a master-mind would have been necessary to coordinate all these calls and confirmations (as many as 11 as was storied last week).

They would have gone to Rove immediately and he, probably in an emergency of the White House Iraq Group, assigned the roles, the stories and the stances, etc.

So he not only leaked by was the mastermind of a conspiracy to leak.

We can only hope he lead a cover-up and committed perjury as well.

8. Looks like she corrected it
On her website, it's now spelled Tenet. The JPG file name has the word "corrected" in it too.

9. I like your bingo idea, but...
I thought my company's game had gotten out to the world, and you adapted it. We've been playing "Bill Bingo" (Bill is our board chairman) for at least four years now, with his pet phrases on the bingo card.

6. My e-mail to wonkette:
Wonkette & co:

Here's a hint: put "Print Preview" up before you
print screen. It'll
get rid of the squiggly red lines.

And George is Tenet, not Tenent.

I'm slightly miffed that your stole my idea (Scotty McClellan

... but I'll forgive you if you let me imagine George W. Bush
is that
pie-in-the-sky ham sandwich!

Much love from
