I loved the negative press on Rove so much that I headed right down to the corner store to get an actual hardcopy of the SF Comicle, the one with Rove’s face taking up a goodly portion of the front page above the fold, his head held high (by the way, it’s held high so as to attempt to hide the double chin – don’t ask how I know). But as I was walking I had this sinking feeling…

The public loves narrative. A narrative allows people to be able to understand information, its context, and its likely outcome. Emphasis on “likely outcome.”
We started the narrative.
“Rove, evil genius, steals 2000 election”
“Rove, evil genius, steals 2002 election”
“Rove, evil genius, steals 2004 election”
Now Rove is at the center of the press coverage of the Plame outing. As well he should be. But, how will the narrative conclude?
There is only one relatively good outcome that the Bush-masters can look forward to:
It was Rove
It was only Rove
It was nothing but Rove
So help us God.
Rove goes, BushCorp stays, and nothing changes. Let’s not let this happen.
Please, repeat after me:
It’s not the crime, it’s the cover-up
It’s not the crime, it’s the cover-up
It’s not the crime, it’s the cover-up
Now I feel better. I think.
