(FindLaw) -- As the scandal over the leak of CIA agent Valerie Plame's identity has continued to unfold, there is a renewed focus on Karl Rove -- the White House deputy chief of staff whom President Bush calls his political "architect."
Newsweek has reported that Matt Cooper, in an e-mail to his bureau chief at Time magazine, wrote that he had spoken "to Rove on double super-secret background for about two min[ute]s before he went on vacation ..." In that conversation, Rove gave Cooper "big warning" that Time should not "get too far out on Wilson."
Rove was referring, of course, to former Ambassador Joe Wilson's acknowledgment of his trip to Africa, where he discovered that Niger had not, in fact, provided uranium to Iraq that might be part of a weapons of mass destruction (WMD) program.
Cooper's email indicates that Rove told Cooper that Wilson's trip had not been authorized by CIA Director George Tenet or Vice President Dick Cheney; rather, Rove claimed, "it was ... [W]ilson's wife, who apparently works at the agency on [WMD] issues who authorized the trip." (Rove was wrong about the authorization.)
Only the special counsel, Patrick Fitzgerald, and his staff have all the facts on their investigation at this point, but there is increasing evidence that Rove (and others) may have violated one or more federal laws. At this time, it would be speculation to predict whether indictments will be forthcoming.

Only in the movie.
Those are Rush parodies, not Soros ads. Effective, apparently.
What I'd love to see is the Dean brothers, John and Howard, in their own sitcom.
"It sounded like a Rush parody. But someone called in to Rush saying that they had heard it on their station. Rush never mentioned that it was a parody....and it was a grandmother who was calling him."
And she is a huge Rush fan. I kept waiting for Rush to gently tell her it was a parody, but he didn't. If it was a parody, I would be a little upset that Rush strung this sweet lady along.
CNN and John Dean: Two charter members of the "Forgotten but not Gone" Hall of Fame!
I agree and it would be a waste of money for Soros to pay for air time during Rush's show.
Of course old Soros spent millions to keep GWB from beng reelected and look how successful that was. :):)
~~ and funny in a loser sorta way. :)
"It sounded like a Rush parody."
Definitely was a parody. Listen to the last line telling people to do all they can to get Rove out of Washington "...because we can't." That is definitely one of the best parodies he's ever done.
It is a parody, and funny as heck! I have heard it a couple of times and LMAO!
Rush's announcer does the voice-over. Sorry I can't recall the rest, but there's not much more than the KKK stuff.
This day-late/dollar-short Dean clown any relation to Rather? Rather would "like to break that story", you know.
Rush is still playing along. Failed to acknowledge the source of the ad again.
CNN's got this one nailed - - Karl Rove will be hung for treason because he may have exposed what was a closely guarded secret among the Washington DC cocktail circuit for years - - that "Wilson's wife" was "apparently employed by the CIA".
No. Things don't look good for Rove.
The original crapweasel opines.
One criminal looking to protect another.... Joe Wilson.
I can't leave this earth without knowing who Judith Miller is covering for....or knowing the entire story behind the Rather story and exactly who forged the documents?
That was a Rush parody. How could you not have caught that!?!?!
John Dean clearly still lives in and thinks its 1974.
I laughted, too as I do at many things the lunatic left says and does. :)
Does anyone else find it ironic that Dean gets the Dem talking points, a day late?
It's been played several times a day for several days. :)
