What? Don't make me discuss what the definition of "is" is.
So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

The evil is this way?
I scrolled, so, here's my brief thoughts --
From what I understand of the particular law, there must be proof of 2 things to convict Rove: (1) that Karl knew Valerie Plame was a covert agent; and (2) that he revealed her super seekrit identity.
I don’t know whether he knew that she was a covert operative.
As to the second point, from what I can see, there’s no difference between saying the name of someone and identifying someone as so-and-so's wife. So, if that’s the only thing keeping Karl out of jail for divulging the identity of a covert agent, then I hope he likes prison stripes.
BUT it may keep him from going to jail on obstruction of justice or – maybe – lying to a federal agent/perjury if he was asked if he told a reporter that “Valerie Plame” got her husband the trip to Niger. Courts tend to accept a bit of parsing when it comes to things like this (although even Clinton wasn’t going anywhere with the “it depends upon what your definition of ‘is’ is”).

if that’s the only thing keeping Karl out of jail
Elections 2000, 2004, and especially 2008 are keeping Karl out of jail. The likelihood of W & the GOP leadership throwing him under the bus is roughly the same as ABC deciding not to shoot Dancing With the Stars... Again!

Rove needs to go. GWB needs to be pressed on the whole "I will fire anyone who was involved in the Plame story."

Yeah, but.. good luck with that. This "administration" has proven they can get out of pretty much anything with lying, lying and handwaving.

Totally agree, but when the White House Press Corps grows a pair, you know they smell blood in the water.

Ah yes. Alias has set the bar low.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ya know, if they'd just called it the Ford pickup or the F150, but no. They had to get all awkward and sticky outie.

All is well that ends in pizza.
They could have made it banter. "Get the pickup!' "What pickup?" "The Ford! The black one!" "The F150?" "Yes! Go!"
