Rove's Defense

Karl didn't do anything wrong.

And even if he did, Valerie Plame wasn't a spy.

And even if she was, she wasn't undercover.

And even if she was, Wilson told everyone.

And even if he didn't, everyone knew who she was anyway.

And even if they didn't, she had not done anything secret in the last 5 years.

And even if she did, outing her wasn't a crime.

And even if it was, outing her did not ruin a 20 year CIA operation and their front company, Brewster & Jennings.

And even if it did, outing her did not endanger either her or her family.

And even if it did, outing her did not endanger other CIA agents who worked for her.

And even if it did, they deserved it because her CIA group was out to get Bush.

And even if they weren't, Wilson lied.

And even if he didn't, it was trap concocted by Wilson's buddy Clinton and his wife Hillary to get at Bush.

And even if it wasn't, Wilson was a partisan Democrat.

And even if he wasn't, his report wasn't important to anyone outside the Wilson household.

And even if it was, it was full of mistakes and grammatical errors.

And even if it wasn't, everyone leaks intel like that in Congress.

And even if they don't, David Corn outed her first.

And even if he didn't, Novak never said her name.

And even if he did, he was never warned by the CIA not to do it.

And even if he was, Rove never said her name.

And even if he did, there is no proof.

And even if there's proof, Rove was only trying to prevent a mistake.

And even if there was no mistake to prevent, Rove heard it from another reporter.

And even if he didn't, he didn't know it was his job to prevent the leak.

And even if he did, it's not like he signed a document saying he would never do it.

And even if he did, it's not like Rove's boss promised to fire anyone involved.

And even if he did, it's not like Bush signed a document saying he had to take corrective action.

And even if he did, there is no proof someone from the WH blabbed.

And even if there is proof, Judy Miller is not going to talk.

And even if Judy talks, she was never working on a story about Wilson.

And even if she was, there are no notes and the NYT denies it.

And even if there are notes, Rove never mentioned any of this to anyone in the WH.

And even if he did, no one will ever find the e-mail.

And even if they did find it, Rove had just forgotten about it.

And even if he didn't forget, he lied to Bush and GW is innocent.

And even if he isn't, Democrats and Clinton are out to get Rove and Bush with lies and innuendo.

And even if they are telling the truth... Hey look over there!
