1. saw it on msnbc too...lets see how the media handles rove and SCOTUS. n/t

[napi21]

3. Bob Frankin (CNN) said right now Rove is considered yesterday's

news.

I think he's right, and the nominee will take all the air time for the next few days, but the Rove story will be back!!!!

11. Interesting that the media

would just be so blatant as to say that Plamegate is old news. YOu don't have enough people working there to cover both stories. Seems ludicrous.

2. and Scotty cancels his press briefing for today....

:eyes: Guess * and his gang can't take the heat of Rove questions

4. Definite nominee.. not a list of potentials?

[napi21]

7. Headline said "Announcement of the Nominee."

I don't think this is a list, it's the one named!

[GreenPartyVoter]

8. All right.. thanks :^)

5. Diversion, diversion, diversion

Gotta bump the Rove affair off the front page ASAP.

Typical Bushco stunt.:eyes:

9. That's true, but the MSM picked up on that too!

All of them have reported that diversion from Rove was the reason Shrub moved up his nominee announcement. The Rove story will be BACK, and it just might be bigger then!

Fitz isn't going to stop just because something else is going on in DC!

6. Of course, that Rovegate news cycle was getting old

10. Why aren't there any missing white women? What happened to the

missing white teenager in Aruba? The Rove matter is a non-story; just partisan politics.

Seriously, el arbusto will probably name a raving conservative just to keep the discussion lively. And the media will play their part and drop Rover story with a sigh of relief.

[TheWebHead]

12. Yep, SCOTUS nor Rove can rival the ratings power of missing white women...

Canada just landed their own version of Scott Peterson this week... we're exporting our white women in peril phenomenon.

13. Washingtonpost.com: Bush to Name New High Court Justice Tonight

I guess confirmation is a given? It's a nominee, not a justice.
