Rove actually had the gall to say it’s STILL not been proven that Plame was covert on Fox. Yeah, he can’t talk about it due to the appeal process BUT he was able to make several digs about Wilson. He quoted the info that was added to the official report after the fact by Republicans as if it was part of the official report. Distort and defame–that’s what he is all about. He may yet find himself in court for defamation. Rove did not repeat the covert status comment on MTP. I was just furious and swearing at the tv.</p> <p>Now that my blood is fully circulating, on with my day.</p> Being a glutton for punishment, I watch one and tape the other.

The escape of the enablers
When Wall Street fails, it inevitably asks for a handout. Fortune’s Allan Sloan says there must be a better way.
