Bush should tell what he knows
Whether or not presidential aide Karl Rove committed a crime is a matter for the judicial system to decide. But it is up to President Bush to address the impression that he and others in the White House have long misled the public on Rove’s misconduct.

Bush won the White House in part by presenting himself as a man of strong character. Yet many Americans now harbor fundamental doubts about Bush’s honesty. The president only aggravates those doubts with his silence on the Rove affair.

Bush should lay the facts before the American public, quickly and completely. If he and his aides did not intentionally deceive the public, he should say so. If they did deceive, Bush obviously owes the country an explanation.

<snip>

President Bush says he’s a man of his word. He needs to quickly explain why his own words and those of his aides apparently misled the American public for so long.

Alright, Kansas City Star! ... The media out here in the red states are calling for a good ol' fashioned Rove spankin'!

2. Telling What He Knows: That Should Take 30 Seconds
Please, if you want to know who did the greedy parts, look at Cheney. If you want to know who did the evil parts, look to Rove. And if you want to know who does the stupid stuff....
