Because I find the outrageousness of the Plame scandal so obvious, I'm fascinated by conservative defenses that have been launched in Karl Rove's defense. Most of the arguments include some combination of misstatement of facts, trivia, and ad hominem attacks on Joseph Wilson.
But for the real entertainment, one has to consider today's editorial in the Wall Street Journal. The newspaper's editors defend Rove as — get this — a "whistleblower."

Is there any truth in any one of these sentences? There was no CIA "nepotism," Rove lied about Wilson, the Senate Intelligence Committee never exposed Wilson as a fraud, Wilson never claimed that Cheney recommended him for the Niger mission, the list goes on.
It's easy to expect such silliness from the WSJ editorial page, but if this is indicative of what the right has come up with in Rove's defense, I think it's safe to say Rove is still in a world of trouble. |
