Interesting, but I don't think the MSM was that far sighted. The Democrats in Congress jumped on board after the MSM took the lead last week. If you watched the ridiculous White House Press corps performances last week, you saw the news media in full bore hatred. They have been frustrated for years. The Democrats have been so inept, they decided to take matters into their own hands.
As soon as one of their own, "Drama Queen" Miller, was locked up, they couldn't help themselves. Here was a chance to help a fellow "martyr" and with the same stone get Karl Rove--a man they blame for Bush's success.
Clift was so angry last week she was scary--and that is saying something.
Now, their short sightedness is going to bite them all.

Joe Wilson Vowed Vengeance Against Karl Rove
With the Washington Post doing his dirty work on Sunday, former ambassador to Iraq, Joseph Wilson seems to be gathering a few allies in his mission, with Democrats like Sen. Charles Schumer proclaiming yesterday, "Whoever [leaked Wilson's wife's name] should go to jail."Despite complaints from Democrats like Schumer that the leak compromised both national security and Mrs. Wilson's safety, the agency told the Post for its Sunday report, "No further harm would come from repeating Plames name."
