Is Jason Leopold on the money? Will Fitz indict Rove? Or was Karl Rove's spokesman Mark Corallo correct when he called the report false? Talk Left has the latest. The part that interests me most: Leopold says that before he published, he left messages with both Corallo and Rove attorney Luskin, neither of whom got back to him.
For his part, Leopold has said that he will disclose his sources if the story turns out to be -- as Corallo claims -- false. At that point, of course, the sources need merely deny that they ever told Leopold anything. A case of "He said, she said." Since Leopold has already had one "iffy" incident at Salon, his word will hold less weight.
I smell a sting. After all, this is Karl Rove we're talking about.

well, might be reasonable to suspect a sting if there were nothing but these weekend stories to go on. but even chris matthews announced a week or more ago that karl would be indicted this month.
if you check out the update dr. e provides below, evidently joe wilson himself got the same story, but not from jason.
and then there's the detroit free press story, too.
jason may not have all the details precisely as they go down, but we all know for a fact that fitz is making like a tourniquette around his fat little neck.
ya think the timing of this speech tonight might be related?
ya think maybe karl doesn't believe fitz will indict him without his cooperation to get dick?
whatever our questions about timing and details and strategy, it's pretty clear fitz has his case against him.
it won't be long now.
I smell a rat.
why hasn't the MSM press jumped on the rumor mill about Rove's Fitzmas from this weekend?
this makes no sense.
something big may (and bad) pre-empt the news about Rove's indictment, something that may "hold the presses". Some event is about to happen that will render Rove's indictmen a moot issue and null and void. This is the real reason why MainstreamMedia has finally gotten religion and actually written about all the domestic spying on US citizen's phone calls. USA Today, one of the worst vapid MSM newspapers that ever existed, actually published an article that King Bush himself took issue with over the NSA spying. This speaks volumes about the sudden panic the "corporate interests" find themselves right now. and yet why are they silent over the Rove indictment?
Why? because if Rove goes, so goeth Cheney and BushCheney won't ever let this happen since it is Cheney after all that really runs this country, not Bush who is just a puppet with a black box wired to him for his speeches/debates.
I have no sources for this, other than I've been worried sick about the "flap jack" that bushco could apply to this country over the past 5 months and my stomach has been getting tighter and tighter each week.
one day we're a "free country", the next day we're living in a dictatorship with martial law imposed and all of electronic correspondence, verbal, email is monitored and the plug on alternate news sources, the internet blogs and other websites gets pulled.
What could cause this to happen? some horrible disaster as big as a Katrina type event but not caused by "natural forces". I suspect that "Katrina" was in fact purposeful by BushCo's secret ops group: they wanted to do a trial run on how the country would react and what they could get away with in the case of a devastating national disaster.
Perhaps I give them too much credit but if 9/11 was an inside job engineered by Cheney-Rumsfeld, and 2000/2004 elections were stolen, then we're just sitting ducks.
I would almost prefer that Fitzma not go forward with his prosecution because the unknown seems much worse!
lll, this is one of those "reporter becomes the story" situations that makes us ALL nervous. And Leopold is open to the same kind of trick that was played on Hatfield. That's all I'm saying.
joe, sure, jason has become the story here. but it's not clear that was his intent. it might have been rove's, but it seems awfully elaborate and risky, given that he is under such close scrutiny.
it is odd that rove has kept such a high profile in the past few days. but i watched him this morning, and he was kool as a kukumber. but, he has lost a great deal of weight. hard to believe that was intentional.
still, i wouldn't put it past the creep to want to take someone down with him.
and he is definitely going down.
