On David Brock's most excellent Media Matters reported this today.

-snip-

The distinction between what Bush actually pledged and what the Post and the Times reported that he pledged is significant. By pledging unequivocally to dismiss anyone who leaked classified information, Bush is now in a bind; recent reports reveal that Rove told Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper that former ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV's wife worked at the CIA. If the perception takes hold that Bush had pledged only to fire anyone found to have "illegally" or "knowingly" leaked, then he could retain Rove, barring a criminal conviction, and claim that he kept his promise.

This is how it starts with these bastards.

1. I was just telling my hubby about that after work; saw that on the MM site
when checking the news today.
Yikes. And Rethugs call WaPo and NYT "liberal."
Holy shit.
