HAH! As if we didn't already know this. I'm just glad the proof is finally coming out.

I believe he discussed this tonight on O'Reilly.
His explanation sounded very reasonable to me - didn't have the darting eyes common to most Democrats who've been caught acting badly.
Of course, you'll have to get the filtered version of that from the DailyKos or Pravda or somewhere.
:tongueside:
I watched Karl Rove on BOR too. He invited all who are interested to view the documents. They can be viewed at his site:

All of the documents plus both Rove's testimony and Meirs testimony can be read here.

All of the materials have been turned over to a US attorney to determine if federal charges should be brought for the misconduct.

Also, TPM has all the testimony and documents too. Since it is over 5,000 pages I'm just going to wait for the good stuff to get out. LOL

I have read a couple choice ones but the whole thing is too long to read each and every one. Perhaps some website will have volunteers read certain sections and post the most relevant.

That's what they do at TPM. They have a bunch of wonks that just love reading this kind of thing and then they point us to the good stuff.
In case you don't have the link...

Well, of course we knew, but now the facts and testimony are coming out, after careers were ruined. So glad that they is out of office. I wonder if Bush knew, or was this another one of 'deniability' with only Rove or Cheney running the show.

Always in the wings watching to make sure he did not say something wrong. Like Cheney hiding behind a pillar while Bush spoke in the Rose Garden. And when it came to things like this, Bush probably was told after the fact.
