It clearly appears to me that Rove was yapping his big fat mouth to Cooper. Otherwise Cooper would have never had anything to yap about in the first place.
Just so you're clear, as the tone of your characterization seems to be way off the mark, Cooper called Rove, not the other way around.
Cooper started the conversation about other policy matters and at the very end he solicited reaction on the Wilson matter to which he received a sensible and fact-based reply.
Thank God for Karl Rove and others like him who value facts and truth.
