The Weak Suffer What They Must

What the fuck just happened?

K. Rove just got busted for treason and everybody is acting like ain’t shit happen.

Do we remember the Plame Affair where a CIA operative was outed.

The Newsweek weekly quoted Rove lawyer Robert Luskin as confirming that Rove was the source who gave information to Time reporter Matt Cooper under a pledge of confidentiality, and last week released him to testify about that conversation to a grand jury. Cooper had been ordered by a US federal judge to testify before the grand jury investigating whether the agent's identity was illegally leaked. Rove, President George W. Bush's deputy chief of staff, has never publicly acknowledged talking to any reporter about former ambassador Joseph Wilson or his wife, Valerie Plame. And Luskin told Newsweek last week that his client "never knowingly disclosed classified information" and that "he did not tell any reporter that Valerie Plame worked for the CIA."

Mr. Rove is on the record as denying he named the CIA agent. "I didn't know her name. I didn't leak her name," he once told CNN.

In a case about journalistic sources, the Newsweek article adds another layer of intrigue. How did it get its rival's internal emails? The story says the email was authenticated by an unnamed source "intimately familiar with Time's editorial handling of the Wilson story, but who has asked not to be identified because of the magazine's corporate decision not to disclose its contents". Against the wishes of its journalist, Time management turned over his notes and emails to the special prosecutor. "A source close to Karl Rove" tried to spin the Newsweek story, claiming to the magazine that there was "absolutely no inconsistency" between Cooper's email and what Mr. Rove has testified during his three grand-jury appearances in the case.

This is why the Democrats can’t win shit, they are too weak.
