Lorie Byrd over at PoliPundit.com has the latest on the Rove smear.

Isn’t This A Bombshell Revelation Vindicating Rove? You Sure Wouldn’t Know It From The NYT Headline

From my reading of this story, if true, Karl Rove is completely cleared and vindicated. But as the NYT article shows, that won’t take the Democrats off their talking points. They will continue to claim that Rove acted unethically and outed Valerie Plame, even if the evidence conclusively shows otherwise.

Democrats have claimed for two years that the White House endangered national security and ruined the reputation and career of Valerie Plame to “get back” at Joe Wilson for showing Bush to be lying about the “16 words.” Even a full out Molly Ivins style apology and admission of being wrong would not be enough to override all that political programming that has occurred over the past years. Stories on this subject will probably not be represented fairly – I am guessing that in some papers this story will not even make the front page. I just wanted to warn you all.
Thanks for the warning and the update.
