Even RW blogs are admitting things aren't looking good for Rove!

Rove, Libby Accounts In Plame Case Differ From Reporters

Richard Keil of Bloomberg's Washington Bureau (infamous for his "The president of the United States is AWOL, and we're with him... the ultimate road trip." line in the story of the President's Thanksgiving trip to Baghdad) has breaking news on Valerie Plame investigation.

....

Keil's report relies on an anonymous source, so it should be viewed with a health dose of skepticism, but assuming the source is accurate we now have a possible reason why Fitzgerald fought so hard for testimony from Time report Matt Cooper and New York Times reporter Judith Miller. The differing account of Russert, Novak, Libby, and Rove would be hard to make a case for perjury with, as they amount to he said/he said accounts of phone conversations. If Fitzgerald could show a pattern of differing accounts from either Rove or Libby, then perhaps he'd have a case.

The story goes on to recap yesterday's news of a State Department memo that included Plame's name in section marked as "secret."

....


If either Libby or Rove can be tied to the memo it's game over for them. I'm still wholly underwhelmed by the story, but given the details that have emerged (and are likely to emerge), it's just about time that both Rove and Libby take one for the team and step down.

1. The Media has had enough of the blame for the

actions of these senior administration officials. It's personal to the media now and I don't think they want to drop this story cause Libby and Rove are blaming it on the press......

2. "Take one for the team"

Or in other words, fire Rove and Libby before the people figure out Bush and Cheney were both in on it too.

3. That's how I read it too.
