[Paul Atreides]

I remember an episode of The X-Files, in which The Cigarette-Smoking Man was the one pulling the strings behind everything, including which films won the Academy Award.

The left's obsession with Rove is so entertaining.

This reminds me of the BS cartoon show 'American Dad' which portrayed Karl Rove as 'Emperor Palpatine' from 'Star Wars'. What will the Left stoop to next?

"Consequently, when former U.S. Ambassador Joseph Wilson challenged President Bush’s lie that Saddam Hussein imported yellow-cake uranium from Niger to produce nuclear weapons, retaliation by Rove was never in doubt. While it is reporters Matthew Cooper of Time and Judith Miller of The New York Times who now face jail time, the retaliation came through Rove-uber-outlet Robert Novak, who blew the cover of Wilson’s wife, CIA operative Valerie Plame. "

Uh! So Wilson is beyond reproach, but Bush lied about the yellow-cake. Me thinks thou dost protest too much, Mr Israel.
Teaching journalism at UMass - Amherst, - hardly qualifies Bill Israel as an objective source.
