White House is worried about Rove (TreasonGate)
http://americablog.blogspot.com/2005/09/wh-is-worried-about-rove-probe.html

<snip>
In a series of private conversations over the past few months, aides began second-guessing how they handled the Social Security debate, managed the public perception of the Iraq war and, most recently, the response to Katrina. The federal CIA leak investigation, which has forced Deputy White House Chief of Staff Karl Rove and others to testify before a grand jury, seemed to distract officials and left a general feeling of unease, two aides said. Aides were calling reporters to find out what was happening with Rove and the investigation. "Nobody knows what's going to happen with the probe," one senior aide said.

Calling journalists to find out what's going on? They couldn't call the Justice Department? Guess Fitz must be playing his cards really close to his vest.

1. Nice to know they're so busy playing Cover Your Ass...
... that they're incapable of governing.

These rat bastards need to be thrown OUT.

3. As they should be!
It's good news to hear that they are uncertain about what Fitz will do. This is taking so damn long I have been worried that it will just fizzle out, or that Rove and his gang are working Fitz behind the scenes.

I think *'s loyalty to Rove is going to be his undoing. Not impeachment, I have no real fantasies about that, but I think he is going to be responsible for a major rift in his party that will be a big help to us in 2006 and 2008.

4. I'll believe they're worried when he is fired ...
... over fears that his arrest and prosecution will bring down the entire house of cards.
