He said that very thing last Wednesday standing on the steps of the courthouse; even went "drama queen" on us, by saying he had already told his seven year old son good-bye because he knew he was going to prison before the phone call came as he was walking out the door.
Yes Howlin, he is just a prince, isn't he?
I was listening to Byron York in amazement today when he was on the Hannity program. He also said that Cooper's lawyers had the iron clad release document in hand when they called Rove's lawyers last week. They asked him if the terms in the document (which the Special Prosecutor wrote!) that said "Mr. Rove authorizes any person to release his name as the source" meant Cooper. His lawyer, incredulously, said, "Yes--if he is a person, then any person means him."
The "drama queens" were not finished. After a flurry of phone calls and more reassurances, lawyers for Cooper only then gathered all their buddies from the media and held a soap opera press conference they hoped the public would swallow. This contained the teary eyed Cooper acting like he just received a gallows pardon from the Governor.
The only problem with this charade is that Rove signed the release in 2003!!!!! These two reporters and their lawyers have been caught red handed, lying to the American people.
