This is Not the Hanky-Panky You Are Looking For

Every day I watch the news on TV, hear it on the radio, and read it online. The new news changes - hurricanes, Tom Cruise, the London bombings. The old news stays the same - Karl Rove. The only thing that makes it mildly interesting is if someone refers to it as the Rove/Plame affair. Or better yet, the Rove/Plame/Wilson/Cooper/Novak/Miller affair. Now that sounds like some real hanky-panky. Unfortunately it's not nearly as interesting as it sounds.

I can't really tell what's going on with the whole thing. As best as I can tell some people think that Rove has Jedi mind control powers that surpass even Yoda. Good thing he's working for America, huh?

The Washington, D.C., Beltway is in one of its periodic orgies over next to nothing. Nobody gets by with pooh-poohing such proceedings, which will proceed until 1) the Beltway has made nothing sound like something, or 2) the rest of the country tunes out totally or falls dead asleep.

He's betting on the latter. Judging by my feelings on the matter, I am too.

Now I'm just waiting for someone to say that the public's general indifference to the story is another example of Rove's awesome super-mind-control powers.
