"In addition to focusing new attention on Mr. Rove and whether he can survive the political fallout, the revelation is sure to create new partisan pressure on Mr. Bush."

I see the language about the Supreme Court pick. But I'm stunned the NYT can spin this like it puts more pressure on Rove rather than vice versa. Pravda.

I expect we'll see all sorts of people were talking about Mrs. Wilson.

Also, I think these are leaks from the Rove camp that the desperate NYT tried to spin as harmful to Rove. I don't recall a NYT article that so strived to tell the readers how to think about the information reported.

Ultimate desperation. There is a plaintive "Pleeeeeaaaaase? Just this once?" between the lines.

That's the new Dim strategy here - use Novak and Rove to play up the "unholy alliance" betwewen the White House and the "noise machine of the extreme right." Lock up your sons - the VRWC is officially in control of the Executive Branch!!!

They'll probably start dredging up Armstrong Williams and Jeff Gannon again, to demonstrate the "pattern."
