Rove Cleared

This morning Demorcrats woke up to the "sad news" Karl Rove has been cleared in the Valerie Plame case that has excited the left for so long.

Not that the facts have any impact on a party which has built its Fall campaign on the "Culture of Curruption" bumper sticker:

"If Karl Rove had been indicted it would have been for perjury. That does not excuse his real sin which is leaking the name of an intelligence operative during the time of war. He doesn't belong in the White House. If the President valued America more than he valued his connection to Karl Rove, then Karl Rove would have been fired a long time ago. So I think this is probably good news for the White House, but its not very good news for America"

-Howard Dean 6/13/2006

Of course the Dean strategery was best expressed by another Democrat icon:

"When you have the facts on your side, argue the facts. When you have the law on your side, argue the law. When you have neither, holler."
-Al Gore
