I was wondering if I was the only one thinking this.
It looks like Wilson's admission tonight on CNN has upstaged the NY Time's supposed scoop.
too bad "Good Ole Mr. Wilson" blew the whole "convert wife" crap on Wolf Blitzer tonight!
Dooah!
I sort of like this information - it does nothing to worsen the situation for Rove - but you can bet that Ted Kennedy, et. al. will be apoplectic over the weekend with this. Go ahead and make my day Ted. Collapse on the floor of the Senate while exuding gaseous vapors.
.
Pres. Bush & his White House Officials looked very worried earlier today. BWAHAHAHA! No wonder this is a friday story. It vidicates Rove!
Joe Wilson is a wrong way charlie. He just can't help making himself look like an ass no matter what he tries to do. Maybe he should try fading away.
It's sounds like all roads lead to Miller to me.
All this does is bolster the story that Rove's lawyer put out before - that Rove wasn't actively shopping Valorie Plame's name about and that in fact, he didn't even know anything other than the fact that he was Wilson's wife. This whole thing is absurd. The prosecuter's report which should completly absolve Rove can't come soon enough.
Prosecutor ought to subpeona this writer and tell these anonomous sources.
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.
i think he should keep running his fat mouth, cause when the shoes drops it is going to drop on him.
Do they really think they're going to be able to use this story as a stepping stone to derailing President Bush's second term? This story's taken so many Byzantine twists and turns and double-backs upon itself that even people who follow it closely are getting a headache! Average people who aren't political junkies are just going to throw up their hands in frustration.
lovely misleading headline for an article. It sounds like he was talking about Valerie in a conference call.
Instead, this seems to suggest that Novak told Rove about Plame working in the CIA, and about how Plame got Wilson the gig.
This would explain why Rove would think there was nothing wrong with mentioning it in passing to another reporter later. If you learned something from a reporter, you wouldn't think it was a secret.

Can anyone explain to me why Novak hasn't been supeoned?
"The conversation between Mr. Novak and Mr. Rove seemed almost certain to intensify the question about whether one of Mr. Bush's closest political advisers play"
This is hilarious! How the NYT tells its readers to think opposite of the information given!
What the article intensifies is who is the "not a partisan gunslinger" and who the reporters who told Rove are! Judith Miller?
"Here's the money quote:
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."
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).
