They could be holding the story to overshadow GWB’a address to the nation on Monday. |

I was wondering where Leopold had landed.
IIRC, he got bounced from the WSJ after causing them to print a retration of his reporting that was so long it ran over two issues ... then bounced from Salon for plagiarizing the Financial Times ... then gave Krugman the e-mail that Krugman cited as proving Thomas White was "evil", which it turned out wasn’t entirely real, leading to a retraction of that story and a rare Krugman apology ...
Good to see he’s still keeping up the good work! |

Would Rove’s spokesman answer "yes" to any of those questions? Please. Would it be too much to take off the ideological blinders and deal with the world as it really is?
If it was true, he’d’ve answered "No comment". You don’t tell a reporter a direct lie for attribution. Especially not when you know the truth will be out in the next 24-48 hours or so. You don’t pointlessly destroy your own credibility as a spokesman. Perhaps the spokesman doesn’t know the truth, or what he thinks he knows is wrong, but you don’t trash any possibility of future usefulness as a spokesman by lying to the press for no purpose.
Although, your powers of analysis go far in explaining your political affiliation.

The Indymedia sites on the left, and the Free Republic site on the right, are valuable "early warning" news sites.
They are not always right. Neither is the New York Times, Matt Drudge, or any other outlet.
However, Indymedia and Free Republic are often the first with important news. They fill in details the mainstream media doesn’t dare to. They cover stories no one else will touch.
By all means take Jason Leopold with a grain of salt, but don’t rely on the mainstream media for your news. You will be learning too little, too late.
The grand jury may not have returned a true bill on Rove yet, but I think they will. |

If Rove was served indictment papers, and deliberately failed to disclose that information, I doubt strongly that Carallo would more or less verify Jason Leopold’s story over the weekend. Is anything even at stake for Corallo as a spokesman? Don’t forget Rove already denied any involvement whatsoever via Scott McClellan. Let’s admit that for we who parse every clause spoken on the matter, a "no-comment" from Corallo would mean the same thing as admitting Rove’s indictment. |

Corallo said that Mr. Fitzgerald was in Chicago and there was no meeting. Leopold says he has more than 2 sources. This should be easy to ascertain who is correct. |

I would so love for Karl Rove to be indicted, and hope that he will be, but anyone who gives Leopold’s story any credence, especially after Corallo’s statement, is loony bonkers. If Corallo is lying, Fitzgerald would surely denounce him — and there’s absolutely no one who would believe Corallo over Fitzgerald. And anyone who thinks that there isn’t "anything even at stake for Corallo as a spokesman" is plain retarded, beyond reach of any reasoning. If there was a meeting, Corallo surely would have either stonewalled on everything or would have said there was a meeting but refused to give details as to what was discussed; there would be *no reason* for him to lie, especially when his lie would immediately be refuted. OTOH, Rove and the Bush White House had every reason to lie about whether Rove was involved — DUH.

Great work!
I linked your piece to one regarding the MSM and us pajama types over at From On High.
I sometimes wonder how some people can read such silliness and immediately take it to be gospel. The word "hatred" probably has something to do with it.
Then there’s the hypocrisy factor ...

I am not a subscriber, but the NY Sun got a vehement denial from the same spokesman:
A spokesman for a top White House aide under scrutiny in a criminal leak probe, Karl Rove, yesterday vigorously denied an Internet report that the political adviser to President Bush was told that he had been indicted on charges of perjury and lying to investigators.
"The story is a complete fabrication," the spokesman for Mr. Rove, Mark Corallo, told The New York Sun. "It is both malicious and disgraceful." |

Interesting reactions. I’m especially appreciative of the idea that Leopold’s sources wouldn’t lie, b/c the truth would be out soon enough.
Erm, don’t you think a President lying about WMD might be found-out, after the war is over? Or is there some expectation that Bush is going to plant, and then "find," WMD?
And, if it turns out Rove isn’t indicted or whathaveyou in the next 24 hours, will there be an accusation that Leopold lied? Or will it turn out that sources were inaccurate, phones suffered static, etc., etc.? Do non-Republicans lie?
It would be the ultimate in irony if one of Leopold’s sources used the term "slam-dunk."
Heh. |
