Wait a minute. Before we all pronounce Karl Rove guilty, and write his political epitaph, let's take a moment to remember Josh(?) Steiner. You know, the Clinton guy who said he "lied" to his diary. If he could lie to his diary, isn't it possible that this Cooper lied to his notebook? Just asking.
Probably not if Novak and Miller both indpendently created the same fabrication.
