I hear they're bringing Jayson Blair back as their special Rove correspondent with sidebar commentary from Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame.

Rub their noses in that!
The MSM is disgusting. This is nothing less than a public lynching. But we've seen this before from the MSM: any woman who said she'd been threatened or groped or raped by Clinton, any republican, anyone with the goods on Hill. Anyone with brains who doesn't march in lockstep with the PC MSM.
If I were Rove I'd resign the very minute hell froze over!
HA HA I think somebody feathers are ruffled at NY TIMES
The problem with squandering your credibility is that nobody ever listens to you anymore.
Doesn't make much sense to connect Rove to a reporter in jail who isn't revealing apparently another source altogether. The reporter with whom he communicated had Rove's permission to reveal his name.

NY TIMES FIGHTS BACK: PLANS FRONT SPLASH ON ROVE; REPORTER SITS IN JAIL
Top editors of the NY TIMES made the decision Monday afternoon to turn up the heat on White House adviser Karl Rove.
The TIMES is planning to lead Tuesday editions with growing calls for Rove's resignation, newsroom sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT, a powerplay in DC all-star game of high stakes finger pointing and intrigue.
While TIMES reporter Judith Miller remains jailed for refusing to testy about sourcing before a grand jury investigating the outing of a CIA "operative," the paper's editors are splashing Rove's own lack of detailed explanation detailing his press contacts.
"Scott McClellan, Bush's spokesman, repeatedly declined to say whether he stood behind his previous assertions that Rove played no role in the matter or whether the president would follow through on his pledge to fire anyone in his administration found to be involved," report the NYT's David Johnston, Adam Liptak and Richard Stevenson in their front page lead.
"Democrats demanded the White House provide a full public explanation of any role played by Karl Rove in disclosing the identity two years ago of a CIA operative, turning up the political heat on a long-simmering case just as President Bush heads into a critical period in his second term. But the White House declined to answer any questions about Rove's involvement."

CBS radio network news tonight - led with this story, lied and made it sound as if Cooper had direct email from Rove naming Plame.
Why are they calling for Rove's resignation? Why wouldn't they at least wait until Fitzgerald's final report is issued? They look like idiots.
I have used toilet paper that has more truth on it than the NY slimes.
If the GOP had nads they would learn from the dems. Frame the argument.
Hey! This hotshot paper may be just the one to tackle Hullary's grand theft of 900+ FBI files! Or the RATS acceptance of CHICOM $$$. And BERGER, don't forget BERGER! But then, should Ms. Rice decide to run for something and there is a RUMOR (HORRORS) that she might have got some files, even if it's only NAIL FILES!!!, then LOOK for the NYT to SWING into ACTION JACKSON!!!! WOW! what a paper!
These guys are wasting paper and ink. All the NYT is doing is throwing red meat to their moon bat left wing base.
You have to work with what you have no matter how bad what you have happens to be. What a pathetic position to be in.
This is so silly, every one knows that Miller is not sitting in jail to protect Karl Rove.
If you watched Chris Matthews you can guess how this is going to go--it's gonna be a full-court press on Rove. The details of the situation are as always going to be glossed over, and the story is going to be broken down to a simplistic formula: Karl Rove revealed the identity of a covert CIA agent. It doesn't matter that that's not the truth, it's the "story".
He tells Cooper, "No. The trip wasn't authorized by DCIA [George Tenet] or Dick Cheney. Rather, Joe Wilson's wife works at CIA and may have authorized the trip".
No name provided. He didn't say anything other than answer a question about the genesis of the trip and didn't authorize the trip.
Talk about media bias gone wild.
Course, most Americans are too stoopid or too involved in American Idol to know the NY Times BS. Course, the major media kooks (ABCCBSNBSCNNDISNEYANDEVENFOX) will cover this as if it's fact that Rove engineered the whole thing.
This is the biggest joke of a story ever. FREEPER Wolfstar chronicled how this is not only a non-story in a very well-researched post: Set up? Anatomy of the contrived Wilson "scandal"
It is pretty clearly a set up to try to bring Bush or parts of his administration (specifically Rove) down.
