As soon as the pubbies realize that this is political warfare and start acting like it, maybe the rats will be exposed. They just need a good coach to teach them offense for a change.
Devastating and damaging news like this can easily be glossed over by the MSM if the GOP lets it happen. The drive by media will want to give this story cursory coverage like they ALWAYS do when protecting democrats and enemies of the Bush administration.
A decision needs to be made to keep this story in the news, no matter what. The only bait the media understands is "scandal". Maybe it will be too irresistible to ignore.
Perhaps with Rove freed up a bit- he'll SEE the big picture here and make certain to do what you suggest.
Sure will be interesting to see who the next press secretary is now, eh?
