"What the hell is going on here?"

It's good to see that they're keeping the pressure on:

White House Press Briefing

... and they are actually catching the administration when it tries to spin something or re-frame it. While Bush tried to give the impression that he was reiterating a pledge of 2 years ago to fire whoever who was responsible, he was actually changing the wording from "leaker" to those who "committed a crime". And the press actually noticed the difference.

Yep, I love the spin. It's gone from "anyone involved" to "anyone who committed a crime"... So it will be months or even years before that is proven, and by then Bush's ass will be back in Texas.

I'm beting these new found news terriers turn back into the old tired newshounds, sleeping under the porch, long before Karl's story is fully unravelled.

Unfortunately, I think you're probably right GWB. They'll figure out something to divert the attention away.

It's funny that I said that (diverting). Here they go announcing the Supreme Court nominee on prime time television tonight. That's OK ... it will only divert for a few days. Stay vigilant:

Cheney leaked classified information

State Dept. memo made clear info 'shouldn't be shared'

President Reagan on Leakers
