Rove "Scoop" Remains Exclusive
Washington Post ^ | May 22, 2006 | Howard Kurtz

Posted on 05/22/2006 6:07:13 AM PDT by franksolich

Robert Luskin, Karl Rove's lawyer, says he spent most of the day on May 12 taking his cat to the veterinarian and having a technician fix his computer at home.

He was stunned, therefore, when journalists started calling to ask about an online report that he had spent half the day at his law office, negotiating with Patrick Fitzgerald -- and that the special prosecutor had secretly obtained an indictment of Rove.

The cat's medical tests, Luskin says, found that "the stools were free of harmful parasites, which is more than I can say for this case."

At this point, if it ultimately turns out to be true, then there will be a fantastic conspiracy theory for us to spin.

Leopold acknowledges in a new book, "News Junkie," that he is a past liar, convicted felon and former alcoholic and cocaine addict.

That would explain why he's a darling of the left. He's one of them!

They say they have three sources feeding details of the indictment. Well, could this be another 'NSA story'-type sting to feed disinformation to leakers and their conduits in the press, thus uncovering the moles in the administration and embarassing enemies in the process?

The article states that 35 reporters "from all the major newspapers, networks and news magazines" called Rove's lawyer about the completely bogus report.

So the entire "mainstream" press is now looking for its news on left wing nut-case web sites. Quite a statement about the credibility of the MSM.

I totally look like I'm wrong," he still believes the indictment story is true.

False but accurate? I guess they will never learn.

None are any more. The soy based inks leave a black stain on your butt when you use them to wipe.

I dunno, have someone at $25 an hour take the animal to the vet while you go to work and make another $4000. Of course, at some point it's enough, and you don't go in every day, but on those days, you should be in the Caribbean or something.

The day begins. The cat is sick. The wife is upset. Bills are paid. Life is finite.

What do you do?
