If Rove skates, what will get more attention:

[Junkdrawer]

1.) The fact that he's guilty as hell and he's skating

--- OR ---

2.) Truthout published a false report

:shrug:

[ShortnFiery]

1. IMO Always the Former - we're on the same team &

forgiveness is what separates us from the rabid right wingers. :-) :hi:

[Junkdrawer]

3. That's what I'LL be focusing on...

but, then again, I focused on the Shrub's military record, not Dan Rather.

[ShortnFiery]

5. Then don't feed the beast - the American people are too crushed

to focus on fluff. When life was good, all that scandal PLAYED well to us Chattering Classes. Now that people are struggling from day to day, they (most) don't give a damn about who's to blame - they want ACTION TO MAKE IT BETTER.

Don't worry or obsess - BTW if Drudge doesn't smear them, then "no worries" --> methinks sooner rather than later, ROVE's TOAST! ;)

[Marr]

2. Definitely #2. I expect the big media clowns will

go on for weeks about how this is 'an example of how blogs are not real news sources', and how they 'publish rumor rather than fact'. Their own shameless stenography for the government will never come up.

7. Screw the cable media - no one cares much about them anyway. n/t

13. That's my biggest fear in this whole mess, and a possible motive for

lying by Leopold's sources, if his story turns out to be completely baseless (which I don't think it will be, but certainly, by now, it is apparent that it is not 100% correct.) I think he has been "Rathered" and the M$M will focus on the falseness of the report rather than the true evil in our midst...psychopath, sociopath KKK. I truly hope that this doesn't harm T.O. I care more about them than I do Leopold.

14. A fire-break...fighting fire with fire...

sometimes to save a structure, firemen will burn the surrounding trees/structure to deprive the fire of fuel.

Rumors of Rove's imminent demise were everywhere. The expectation was that Rove was going to get it. Now, if Dubya used his "national security" powers to pull Rove's ass out of the fire, how to deflect the outrage? :think:

[Junkdrawer]

17. It would be a Rovian "three-fer"....

1.) It would deflect the outrage if he isn't indicted.

2.) It could end up hurting several good people that could be tarred as bad sources (Joe Wilson???).

3.) It would tarnish the reputation of blogs - possibly at a time when they are needed most.

4. If Rove skates, I'd be a little pissed at Fitzgerald.

Just a little. :)

[Junkdrawer]

6. I'll bet a behind-the-scenes battle of epic proportions....

is either going on right now or has already happened.

[Justice Is Comin]

10. You can bet your silk drawers

on that. And none of them involve less than jail time for that pasty faced ferret fucker.

[0007]

15. You can bet you're bottom drawer on that one.

I also think that Jason was right. The fat lady is waiting for her cue. I hope.

I think Rove bought time throught National Security and the likes of James A. Baker III and Henry A. Kissinger. :tinfoilhat:

[Junkdrawer]

16. See my Post #14...n/t

[0007]

18. Hooray for you baby! Someone that thinks this is a possibility.

warms the cockles of me heart.

[BuyingThyme]

8. Not enough attention has been paid to Truthout for the MSM

to use I-told-you-so effectively.

[Junkdrawer]

9. "We at CNN have been quietly watching a little story playing...

out in the blogosphere...."

Exposition.

[jaysunb]

11. Rove ain't skating

His best hope right now is a pardon.

[Junkdrawer]

12. There seems to be some things this Admin. will do REGARDLESS OF THE LAW...

Some things are untouchable. "Does Rove rise to that category?" is the only question.

20. Option 3) Neither 1 nor 2
