The Washington Post is being somewhat sensible about the Rove nonsense this morning. From an editorial: “But much is still unknown, and Democratic demands that Mr. Rove be fired immediately seem premature given the murky state of the evidence. While we await more facts, it’s worth remembering some from the previous episodes of this strange story — including a few that have been mangled or forgotten.” They also note that this is “the third consecutive Washington summer” to star Joe Wilson. (Leaks may have their advantages, Mr. Wilson?) The Post may get that the Left is overplaying its hand on this. (I want to know why folks need to be as hysterical as they are–witness last night in the Senate for example–if they are so convinced Rove is a criminal. The answer, of course, is that this is about a lot more than a leak. It’s about hating Rove/having it in for the president’s guy.)
