7. One more chance to ask these questions - that did not happen
From the ABCnote:

"Has President Bush made clear to the White House staff that only total cooperation with the investigation will be tolerated? If not, why not?

Has he insisted that every senior staff member sign a statement with legal authority that they are not the leaker and that they will identify to the White House legal counsel who is?

Has Bush required that all sign a letter relinquishing journalists from protecting those two sources? Has Bush said that those involved in this crime will be immediately fired? If not, why not?

Has Albert Gonzalez distributed a letter to White House employees telling them to preserve documents, logs, records? If not, why not?

Has Andy Card named someone on his staff to organize compliance? If not, why not?

White House officials who might have legal or political exposure on this are going to have to decide whether to hire lawyers or not, and the White House counsel's office is going to have to decide what legal help they can and should provide to officials if and when the DOJ wants to talk to them.

That means that the '90s practice of every Washington bureau of calling members of the bar to see who has hired whom is about to heat back up. The first one to report someone hiring a criminal lawyer wins a prize, as does the first person who develops that lawyer as a source on all this.

A reminder that students of recusal politics will have to consider the Rove-Ashcroft history"

15. Great post. Great questions.
I was stunned when Rove said that the innuendo was false. How could he possibly know? Shouldn't he have been saying "we will investigate, we will cooperate"? Or he at least might have said "we have already investigated and found nothing", but not even that.

3. C-SPAN Doesn't Seem to be Covering It
My daily e-mail from Hardball says this is on their agenda for tonight. I wonder how the media will treat it. I'm sure the white house has been burning up the phone lines trying to shut down coverage.

Well, if it was a horse, I bet I know which part of its anatomy was most in need of rescue.

9. Coverage of a Democrat's news conference?
I doubt it will be shown. If it was Whistle Ass making some inane ramblings, we'd see it over and over and over.......

13. One of their OWN--Novakula--is in the middle of this....
And they are, frankly, AFRAID of the story.

Cowardly, lazy, obedient, servile, uninformed, pig-like traitorous scum...ALL FCC licenses should be revoked, and the owners and operators of these so-called "news" operations placed under investigation for treason.

I humbly suggest....
