The NY Daily News reports that BooTribbers are not the only ones with nibbled cuticles:
Jittery Bush aides gnawed their nails yesterday as a special prosecutor zeroed in on White House political guru Karl Rove’s role in blowing a CIA agent’s cover.
In the closing hours of the grand jury probe, special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald paid a visit yesterday to Rove’s lawyer, Robert Luskin, prompting speculation that a plea bargain could be in the works for the deputy White House chief of staff.
It was the latest of several one-on-one meetings between Fitzgerald and Luskin, the Daily News has learned….
Two weeks ago, at a political event in Texas, Rove brushed aside concerns from anxious pals. “He said he was fine and he said it with gusto,” one of the well-wishers recalled.
A week later, however, Rove seemed down and distracted to some of his White House colleagues…
While White House staffers were tense, Fitzgerald’s team relaxed from their stoic, all-business demeanor. The cheery prosecutors shared an elevator ride with a News reporter and cracked up over a private joke.
Plead Rove. Plead.
Meanwhile: Supply your own best guess on what the joke was.
