"Cooper is doing a WHOLE lot of talking, IMO."

yes, but is he telling the truth, or parroting what his wife (Mandy Grunwald-Hillary's henchwoman) tells him to?

This is starting to get a "wheels within wheels" look about it.

At the core of this I will bet that this was a plot to smear Rove, and Pres. Bush and it has backfired because the Republicans did not panic and start throwing people overboard like they used to do.

A lot of people are trying to get the toothpaste back in the tube, and it isn't the Republicans.

Funny you should mention her; just as I hit "Post," she crossed my mind. Maybe he's not doing all the talking; maybe big mouth Mandy is. I imagine she has quite a Rolodex.

Yes, it seems there's a sudden media effort to change the subject from "Rove/Libby/Cheny/Bush outed a covert CIA agent" to "Rove/Libby committed perjury." But the perjury charge seems pretty thin, going back to a who-told-who-first scenario about something that wasn't a crime in the first place. I don't think that inconsistent testimony ever leads to perjury charges unless the inconsistency is material to a serious crime and can be proven without question.
