Rove's new nickname

Since we now know that the "Official A" mentioned in the indictment is actually Karl Rove, perhaps we should refer to him as the Official A-hole.

Rove's basic defense -- "I didn't spill beans to reporters; the reporters spilt unto me!" -- is the same lie Libby told. Obviously, these guys got together and decided on a basic strategy. I doubt that they would have done so without running a few ideas past legal counsel. And who, one wonders, might have provided that counsel? If we're talking about a White House lawyer on the public payroll, no confidentiality privilege exists.

I surely do like the idea that Karl Rove is the Bush administration Official Asshole.

He is all of that and a load of pig slop.

Official A-hole. I like it. And if you could keep it in bold whenever you reference it, repeating it over and over and over when discussing Karl's treasonous assholish assholishness--that would be even better.
