Rove Controversy makes NY Times



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Okay, it's just a couple paragraphs, but it's in the Bush Fourth of July Story. Maybe, just maybe, this scandal is starting to permeate the MSM:

Karl Rove, his senior adviser, rode the flight from Washington to West Virginia but did not respond to requests for an interview over his reported role in a controversy that threatens to put two reporters in jail. Newsweek had reported over the weekend that Mr. Rove had talked to Matthew Cooper of Time magazine for an article about Valerie Plame, a C.I.A. operative whose name was illegally disclosed by an unidentified White House official in a case now under investigation.

The Newsweek article did not identify Mr. Rove as that source, but Bush critics have been eager to tie him to the leak. Outside the presidential rally in Morgantown, one protester made reference to the case, holding a sign that read: "Jail Karl Rove."
Um, if the press is to be believed, it's the special prosecutor who has been working on tying Rove to the leak, not just Bush critics.

UPDATE: E&P reports Karl is refusing all interview requests, surprisingly enough.
