Could we add a spectator to your scenario?
Rove sitting in a comfy lounge chair, umbrella up, sipping an adult beverage and smiling at Wilson as he passes by?
Oh, I know, we shouldn't be so glib.
I would personally like for it to be Joe Wilson and I would LOVE for his punishment to be being horsewhipped at high noon on the Mall in D.C.
I know I'd drive up there for that.
