Now comes the spin. Rove says (more or less): I didn't know her name, I didn't give her name. (at the same time admitting he did say that Wilson's wife was in the CIA).

Well then, he didn't know her name, so that excuses using her to attack Wilson, right?

Hmmmm..... How difficult is it, do you suppose, to find out the name of someone's wife? He didn't know her name, didn't say her name!?!?! Give me a break here folks, this is a fiction, as if leaving out the name still means he didn't out her. She's as much identified by being called Wilson's wife as she is by calling her by her name.

As to the Wall Street Journal saying Rove is a whistle blower - man, these people are getting so far out there with their fictionalization of reality, we are truly, truly, truly living full time in a theater of the absurd.
