It is also worth noting, before I take my nap...

...that no one from Rove's camp, the White House or the GOP in general, has offered any kind of public and/or written denial of the Leopold report. Nada. Zip. If it's out there, I have not seen it or heard it. Nor has Jason, nor has anyone else on the TO staff, and you can bet your shoes we've been looking.

When Leopold reported on the target letter, Luskin responded immediately with a denial (parsed in clever attorney verbage, of course,). It was bang-bang, immediate denial.

This story has been out for almost 24 hours now. Most, if not all, of the electronic media has at minimum taken notice of it. These guys have to know it is out there by now.

And not a peep.

Also, 15 hours at the law offices may well mean hammering out a plea deal.

Nap time.

no smoke without fire eh?

I don't buy the "10pm on a Saturday Night" gripe, personally.

Methinks Luskin's guard was down and couldn't craft a reply fast enough in his head...

doesn't that guy make enough money to have caller ID?

who in their right mind answers the phone anymore, let alone that time of night, without checking to see who might be on the other end?

did the caller have some sort of inside line, or what?

They are actually dicussing the fact that rove's indictment will help them in the November elections. LOL

What is their reasoning that they will be helped by this?

...with the "Rove's indictment will help us" comment included.

The person doesn't explain WHY they believe this...they just make the statement.

:patriot:

They just seem to think rove's indictment will help them win the November elections.

Your guess as to why is as good as mine. LOL

Rove allows blivet** to fire him on Monday morning? Do you think Rove would take that hit to give him a bounce in the polls? Can you imagine that these types of conversations are going on at Camp David this weekend?

Poppy fired him once. It could happen, couldn't it?

story. Enjoy your nap and evening out!

That's what the article says, and that's what I'm waiting to see. If the indictment is dated after May 12....we'll see what happens then.

You know they lurk here or have lurkers here...I think this is 'delay and regroup' time with the MSM covering as long as possible. Remember, NYT certainly did NOT have any problems with covering for Bush and Cheney for over a YEAR.
