It appears that RoveCo made sure the newscycle would be immediately shifted, with the Alito nomination on Monday, after the disasters for the White House on Friday. They did not want days of discussion and analysis of the Plamegate revelations, obviously.
Rove is brilliant at this crap. That's why he hasn't been fired.
Today we have Bird Flu. Tomorrow we'll have something else (terror alert, anyone?).
I know we're all aware of what's going on. I know the senate and house dems know, too.
It is up to us (the Liberal Blogosphere) and up to folks like Harry Reid and Barbara Boxer, to keep the issues of the Plame investigation front and center.
And hopefully the White House press corps will continue to show their new backbones and keep asking probing questions when they can.
Alito's nomination will take its course. Give us indictments now!
