The Stupidity Defense

I was wondering how long it was going to take before Rove got around to this one.

Oh, so a reporter told him about Valerie Plame. Whatever (putting aside the fact that that is a preposterous argument which, if somehow true, assumes the same leaky security standards that permitted the Jeff Gannon fiasco, assuming that that wasn’t premeditated either – another highly shaky assumption).

None of this is credible. All of it warrants a special prosecutor and convening of a bipartisan congressional committee IMMEDIATELY (along with the revoking of Rove’s security clearance at the very least).

(Also, the great Paul Krugman weighed in on this recently as well.)
