The Storm Breaks
As I suspected, the denials of the White House that Karl Rove was not "involved" with the naming of Valerie Plame, begin to draw the boorish questioning of the White House Press Corps (can the President banish reporters for unprofessional conduct?-oh that's right, they're reporters--no such thing). Scott McClellan is the first line of flak magnets. It will spread. Here is the only old story I could find about what McClellan said during the first hysteria about the story. Drudge has a story on the empire (NYT) striking back. I've described this as a tempest in a teapot. It should be one. We'll see.
