A spokesman for the prosecutor said there would be no public announcements before Friday, the day the grand jury's term expires. <<

Sorry-- but I find the media's desperate efforts to fill the void too funny. Jon Stewart had a great medley of 24/7 TV News channels last night, all breathlessly announcing that there was nothing to announce. There will be plenty to talk about tomorrow, I am sure. In the meantime, I eagerly await a report on what color tie Fitzgerald wears today, and the significance of same.

Originally Posted By Dabob2 <The left is obsessed with Rove, for some reason, while the right couldnt realy care less about the guy.> I don't know that that's true. Given that both of Bush's pres. elections were squeakers, and Rove is widely credited by supporters and detractors alike at being just about the best in the business at what he does, it's quite possible that without Rove, Bush never becomes president in the first place.
Originally Posted By Spree The left really hates Bush and they percieve Rove as the brains behind the President because to think otherwise would be to give up the silly notion that Bush is an idiot. That is why they are obsessed with Rove....they think without Rove Bush will stop doing circles around them.

My prediction: Karl Rove takes over AirAmerica and makes it into a great conservative institution, and is then eaten by baby sharks.

When Bush smiles and jokes, it's because he's "putting on a brave face." These mind reading reporters are just amazing...
