The American people are angry about Karl Rove and angry that George Bush refuses to honor his word about firing any leaker. Every letter in Monday's USA Today denounces Bush and Rove. The money quote:
Rove, whom we all thought was a genius, is using grade-school excuses regarding his role, saying he referred to Plame not by name, but as Wilson's wife. Of course, Wilson has only one wife and there is only one CIA, but we are supposed to excuse him.Wait till they see Bush trying to weasel out of firing anyone guilty of leaking. How is the letters page on Rove running in your newspapers? And keep those letters to the editor flowing into your local papers -- it keeps the letters page focused on Bush's deceit and spurs the newspapers into maintaining their focus.
The American people are smarter than all of this. We see this act as unethical and Rove as not the kind of person who can be trusted with power.
The president is known for being loyal. Will his loyalty rest with his old friend Karl or with the people who re-elected him?
