The NYT made a big deal of WH "anonymous sources" (they never learn, do they?) claiming that Bush was "misled" by Rove concerning Rove's role in outing covert CIA agent Valerie Plame. (Great coverage at Media Matters:
http://mediamatters.org/...) So IF that's true (a big if - literally) then why is Rove still behind his desk in the WH? What boss retains an employee that LIES to him and makes him look bad? Is Bush really that dependent on Rove pulling his strings? Or does Rove know where the bodies are hidden?
On the other hand, if it's NOT true, then Rove told Bush the truth about his involvement, so Bush would be keeping on an employee who undermined national security for petty partisan advantage. AND both Bush and Rove lied to the American people about it.
Either way: not a pretty picture.
