Howard Fineman, who used to be one of the Washington pundits that revered Rove, now has a different take. Apparently, Bush's brain is weighing him down these days wherever he goes:
Briefly facing American reporters, Bush fielded only five questions. But four were on a single issue: the fate of Karl Rove, his top White House aide, who has been named—but not indicted—in the federal leak probe. Bush gave lawyerlike answers. "The investigation on Karl, as you know, is not complete," he said, "and, therefore, I will not comment about him and/or the investigation."All those people who Karl walked over on the way to the top are waiting to step on him now...some of them are already doing it through the press. This is fun.
