MSNBC reported today that prosecutors will not be charging Karl Rove with a crime.
Top White House aide Karl Rove has been told by prosecutors he won’t be charged with any crimes in the investigation into leak of a CIA officer's identity, his lawyer said Tuesday.
Attorney Robert Luskin said that special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald informed him of the decision on Monday, ending months of speculation about the fate of one of President Bush’s closest advisers. Rove testified five times before a grand jury.
Fitzgerald has been investigating whether senior administration officials intentionally leaked the identity of CIA undercover operative Valerie Plame in retribution because her husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, sharply criticized the administration’s pursuit of war in Iraq.
Naturally, the Democrats are despondent.
“Good news for the White House, not so good news for America,” [Howard]Dean, the Democratic Party chairman, said Tuesday on NBC’s “Today” show.
So, according to Howard Dean, the political enemies of the White House constitute "America." The Democrats are America, and Republicans aren't.
I'm surprised this news didn't plunge our economy--nay, our entire society--into a tailspin. After all, Karl Rove is the personification of evil in our world today, and the world will not be right again until Rove is behind bars for the rest of his life paying for his numerous, nefarious crimes. At least, that's how "America" sees it.
My advice to anyone with hard-core left-winger friends is to be available to console them. Let them cry. Let them talk it through. They'll need somebody to listen, to understand.
Have pity. The Left is in mourning today.

Logic. It must be such a nuisance for these people. Why must they be forced the think first and then speak? This is America doggonit.
For the rest of us who appreciate it - great points.
AICS,
Thanks.
If it weren't for the risk of these characters getting back in power, this sort of thing would be really funny. As it is, this is just scary with a little humor mixed in.
