Now the question is whether the rest of the media will pick it up from here and carry it forward.  I really believe this calls for a special prosecutor.  The Bush administration has shown that it has no intention of respecting the authority of Congress to investigate and the court battle over subpoenas will likely take longer than Siegelman's prison sentence.

is how little that has truly stuck to Rove after all this time.

May that time finally be now!!

We expect too much from the media.  

Rove's railroad of the Gov must be investigated by the next administration.

Remember a little story about Watergate?

Back when the media tried to do something other than sit on their hands and pray for a book deal.

I watched Watergate and the hearings.

Once the papers uncovered significant, suspicious behavior - well beyond where we are with the DOJ and USA - the effing Congress did something.

We're past the point where investigative journalism has to uncover a smoking gun.

for the next administration to investigate either.  I will be watching tomorrow's White House press briefing to see if anyone asks any questions of Dana Perino.  That might be as good an indication of any to see if there is any interest from the press as a whole.
