Well, I can't say that I'm surprised, but in the past few days the Bush administration has repeatedly ignored questions regarding Karl Rove's dismissal, and White House spokesman Scott McClellan has been quoted as saying "any individual who works here at the White House has the confidence of the president." McClellan said that includes Rove.
Rove's lawyer, Robert Luskin, said Rove did not disclose Valerie Plame's actual name. Critics, including Joe Biden, say that this is hardly the point, as Rove identified her as the Ambassador's wife.
A wonderful quote from Al Franken regarding President Bush's eerie silence: "If you were Charlie McCarthy, would you fire Edgar Bergen?"
'Nuff said.
