"Will this story ever end?"

Rove has to get his brownie points.

It makes the press look really stupid....

You accidentally shoot your friend....and the press thinks you should call them first...I don't think so..

but what really makes me laugh...are the conspiracy theorists....

sources tell CBS News

Sources, who, from where?

CBS News correspondent Gloria Borger reports another source within the White House said

Who is this other source, staffer, butler? who?

and a source told her the two are still close.

Does this source have a name, is it anyone that has credibility?

Hmmmm, why do all stories involving Karl Rove doing something, never have name, just "sources"?

Cheney was using No. 7½ shot from a 28-gauge shotgun. Shotgun pellets typically are made of steel or lead; the pellets in No. 7½ shot are just under one-tenth of an inch in diameter.

This is the first story I've seen where they actually got the information about the gun and the shot correct.

Wait a minute. I thought Rove engineered the whole incident. This story would be inconsistent with.....never mind.

what kind of leakers are there in the WH ? For a WH perceived as closeted, it leaks like a sieve

Soon we will be hearing stories, based on "sources", how this has caused a rift in the relationship between President Bush and Vice President Cheney.

'sources tell CBS News'

Yep, that's good enough for me.

It is already dying. The crass late night jokes on TV and giggles around the NY Times water cooler aren't funny when the man was clearly hurt, in pain, and suffered a heart attack.

The press went from "joke" mode to trying to spin this into the "Biggest Political Scandal" since ...............wait for it..........................................

Watergate! (collective gasp).

The MSM looks small again, as they behave like bullies and children.

The media will keep it alive for another week if they can, it will last about 3 more days though unless his heart condition gets worse.

If it doesn't, then the press has to step back into their dog collar and leash because then they have become "the story" by whining about disclosure, blah, blah, blah.

The press is having their fun, but they can't perpetuate it without continuing to throw tantrums.

Lemme guess, Rove was the shadowy figure behind the tall bush to the right.

Cheney is in a "state of meltdown" over shooting his friend and the political fallout it has caused, a source close to the Cheney has told CBS News.

The same source reported that he would soon have proof that the Bush National Guard documents are genuine.

LOL, Karl Rove is just so close with the Washington Press Corps. I'm sure he ran right to David Gregory and gave him the scoop that he urged Cheney to talk.

Don't you just know that Rove has to be watching all this and grinning as the liberal media discredits itself once again?

Liberals think they are so perfect to the point where they fail to pick up on their mistakes until it is way too late. Of course that will not stop them from blaming just about everyone else.
