The revelation of Mr. Rove's conversation with Mr. Novak raises a question the White House has never addressed: whether Mr. Rove ever described that conversation, or his conversation with Mr. Cooper, with the president.
This is what the left is aiming for. This whole thing has been orchestrated with this goal in mind, to tie President Bush himself into it.

Yes, but doesn't the article undermine that aim? Rather than a selective leak it indicates reporters told Rove first (as they did with Libby).
All this insidious speculation, in the larger hopes of the libs and the media, to include Bush in this sickens me.
