Edited on Mon May-15-06 02:42 PM by Marr
If the Bush Administration has been tracking phone records in order to sniff out journalists' sources, then Rove knew exactly who to get the memo to. That person would, in good faith, get it to Dan Rather (or whomever), and voila.

Once again, Rove's much-touted "genius" has nothing to do with intellect, and everything to do with connections and a total lack of shame.

2. I'm going to bump my own thread just once because
it seems to me that it might have some connection to Jason Leopold's situation.

3. I've been thinking the same thing.
Maybe his sources were fed false info.

4. It would be very "Rove-istic" if true.
