Uggh, this picture of Ralston's hand on Bush's chest in this
Phillipine News article is just galling.
Kudos to Raw Story and

Here's a snippet of this article:
WASHINGTON D.C. - Filipino American Susan Ralston, chief of-staff to presidential adviser Karl Rove, is one of nearly two dozen White House officials - including President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney - believed to have knowledge about the outing of Central Intelligence Agency operative agent Valerie Plame.
Ralston, Rove's right-hand man, is scheduled to appear again before Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald who is investigating the circumstances surrounding the leak of Plame's identity in the media.
Plame's work in the CIA was revealed after her husband Ambassador Joseph Wilson challenged President Bush's reasons for going to war in Iraq. Exposing an agent is a crime as it endangers the agent's life as well as the security of his or her family.
Ralston appears to be a person of critical interest in the investigation, just like her boss Rove.
