Rove gone but not forgotten

I've seen a few rumblings around about remembering Rove, who does seem to have fallen off the radar in the last couple of weeks. But out of sight is not out of mind and with the results of the Plame investigation due in early fall, you can be sure we haven't heard the end of it. In fact, The Boston Globe has an editorial today reminding us why Rove is the still the likely suspect in Traitorgate.

SOME WHITE House sympathizers have attempted to portray Karl Rove's role in the Valerie Plame scandal as that of a statesman, seeking to provide President Bush with the best information possible on Saddam Hussein's nuclear ambitions so that Bush could set policy based on facts. This has been met with deserved skepticism. Rove's career, even before he became Bush's deputy chief of staff, is rich with reasons to think his motives in helping to identify Plame as a CIA agent were far darker.

He's the Master of Malevolence and of course, he's always got away scot free so far. But there's a first time for everything. Let's hope this time he pays the price.
