I hate to burst your bubble of fantasy, but if/when it comes out that Wilson himself was the leaker (or some other democrat mole in the executive branch) it will not make the slightest difference to the Democrats and the MSM. They will go right on spouting this story as if it had been proved to be the gospel truth, and their sheep-like followers will all nod at each other and go "Baaaaaa."
It will pass into the "recieved wisdom" of the left that Rove and Bush destroyed Plame's "undercover career" and committed "treason," or whatever, and the story will be repeated for the next 50 years, or until our side stops talking about Bill Clinton's misdeeds.
That's all this is about, by the way. They know da*n well that Clinton was a reprehensible disgrace of a president, (even theough they never publicly acknowledge that he so much as tore the "do not remove" tag off a White House matress) and it drives them nuts. Well, it is one of the many things that drives them nuts.
Well, many of them already are nuts, so its kind of academic.
(steely)
This last ditch attempt to blame Rove is truly hilarious. When it all comes out that Wilson himself was the leaker, a lot of people on the other side are going to look really stupid(er).
