Here's my theory:

Rove spilled the beans to Novak before the original conspirators (Libby, Cheney and Judith Miller) had decided how to out Wilson. They wanted to do it without fingerprints. Rove beat them the punch, but he wound up knocking out his own team. Fitzgerald's indictment of Libby will ultimately result in the resignations of both Cheney and Bush.
Update [2005-11-1 8:53:41 by barrettzinn]: E.J. Dionne's article today nails down the real reason for the cover-up conspiracy - the election. They had to hold the story down in order to save the campaign, and Time Warner, NBC and the NY Times were their bitches. That really sucks... Read More

Because Libby's lip slips weren't loose cannon shots; he was taking orders from the commander of the sinking ship. All the pre-leak action takes place in and around the office of the Creepy Veepy. Page 4, paragraph 5: Who is "another person" whose name is on the faxes? Cheney? Who is/are the "other person or persons" who handwrite Joe Wilson's name on them? Cheney?... Paragraph 8: Who leads the "discussions...concerning how to respond to Pincus." Cheney?...

Page 7, Paragraph 18 the Creeps' counsel gets involved. Has Cheney finally recognized the legal jeopardy of the conspiracy? Paragraph 22, The thick thief is finally named on the plane, and, it is implied, tells Libby what to say to Cooper. The strategy of blaming the reporters is probably hatched right then and there. Oh, to have been a fly on the wall of that fuselage...

Maybe Judith Miller was paid to report fake news just like Armstrong Williams.

Maybe she was sleeping with Scooter Libby. Or Dick Cheney. Or Ahmed Chalabi. Her stories were repackaged White House Iraq Group propaganda (p.s. anyone else catch the irony between the NYT Times magazine article about the connection between the NEoCons and the Whigs and the sudden prominence of the WHIG in the PlameGate story...guess not...), maybe she was just another paid shill. If true, all the major scandals will be connected, and the White House of Card(s) will collapse.

BTW The Colbert Report was hysterical, but I don't know how he'll keep it going five nights a week, 40+ weeks a year. How many times a month can he out-gravitas Stone Phillips?

April 17, 2007 - George W. Bush resigns in disgrace. Tell me why it can't happen?

It could happen! The parallels to Watergate here are intriguing. Remember, it took years for Nixon's criminal insanity to play all the way out.

We've got the unpopular foreign war, the Veep about to be dragged down by a major scandal that will likely lead to his resignation, the incresingly paranoid POTUS, and the liklihood of all of it leading to a Democratic House and Senate in 2007.

Best case for Dems is they stonewall the SCOTUS process, letting the right fight amongst themselves and keep O'Conner on the bench this year as Shumer suggested. Then they filibuster any wingnut that comes along until Cheney resigns, then filibuster the VEEP nomination until after the elections. They get the congress back, start the impeachment proceedings, and then Bush resigns, giving us President Nancy Pelosi.

I love this scenario!

What's Wrong with Harry? It's about saving skins. Rove's skin, Libby's skin.

What's wrong with Harriet Miers' nomination for Justice of the Supreme Court ? A lot of people are asking this question, and with good reason. She's never been a judge before - and she doesn't even play one on TV...

Even if she has never written any of the gut-wrenching, heart-sickening memos approving rendition and torture so beloved by her boss...It's simply unacceptable, in a democracy, to have a crony of crooks about to come before a court get a lifetime contract...

Shall we also allow Tarik Aziz to sit on Saddam Hussein's jury?
