1. Or "unknowingly", it just depends
on what spin they're trying to weave.

2. Remember the whole IMPEACHMENT crapola... hinged on "is"....
Yeah, they laugh all the time --- depends on defining "is"....
Wellllll, now the shoe is on the other foot.
And are they dancin' or what?

5. LOL
I have this mental image of Rove rolling over and whispering things in Jeff Gannon's ear.

6. If anyone remembers Ben Johnson the Canadian sprinter...
....after he got caught with anabolic steroids in his system following his world record 9.79 100 meter dash in Seoul in 1988....he maintained he never "knowingly" took performance enhancing drugs.

An awfully convenient word to exculpate yourself from moral responsibility, n'est-ce pas??

(By the way...Ben was on 'roids, and he sure as hell wasn't alone!!)

10. And Ben lost his medal, didn't he?
So whether he took the roids knowingly or not, it didn't really matter in the end.

8. The standard ought to be "knew or should have known."
Whether or not Rove knowingly broke the law, as a White House official privy to sensitive information, he must be held to the highest standard. He either knew or should have known that he was breaking the law in a matter of national security.

12. From the Wayback machine
Mar 1991

Testifying under oath before the Texas Senate for an appointment to the Texas State University Board of Regents..


SENATOR GLASGOW: How long have you known an FBI agent by the name of Greg Rampton?

ROVE: Ah, senator, it depends -- would you define "know" for me?
