Coming up next on "Hardball"..."What, if anything, will happen to Rove"

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

After the commercial break (4:30 PM Pacific).

I'll be back with details.

1. More after the break...so far, David Gregory & Michal Isikoff.

- No evidence that Rove referred to Plame by name or knew she was a covert agent

- As a result, Rove could not be charged with violating federal law

- Misleading reporters is not a crime

- Who was Judith Miller's source?

- What did Rove tell Bush & McClellan?

2. Deborah Orrin, NY Post, & EJ Dionne

Orrin: "This is happenign because Joe Wilson is a LIAR."

EJ Dionne: "It's not about Joe Wilson's credibility. It's about leaking the name of a CIA agent."

More after the break.

3. I've added Ms. Orrin to my "Media Whore/RNC Cheerleader" column.

Honest to God, the CW on this issue and the continued assaults on the Clintons is mind-boggling.

4. Orrin has made a living out of doing smear pieces on Kerry.

Not critical pieces. Smear jobs.

Iow, she belongs on your list.
