On October 7, 2003 reporters asked Scott McClellan if the leak of Valerie Plame’s CIA status came from the White House. They specifically asked about three staff members.
Q Scott, you have said that you, personally, went to Scooter Libby, Karl Rove and Elliot Abrams to ask them if they were the leakers. Is that [...]

This just in: It wasn’t Rove who leaked Plame’s identity to the media, it was the media that leaked Plame’s identity to Rove.
Someone has leaked information about Rove’s testimony before the grand jury. Story here.
The person, who works in the legal profession and spoke only on the condition of anonymity because of the [...]
Paul Krugman entered the Rove-a-thon with his latest column, “Karl Rove’s America.” We can always count on Krugman to get to the heart of the matter.
Excerpt:
John Gibson of Fox News says that Karl Rove should be given a medal. I agree: Mr. Rove should receive a medal from the American Political Science Association for [...]
On Monday, Newsweek reported:
In an email to his bureau chief, Cooper wrote that Rove offered him a “big warning” not to “get too far out on Wilson.” Rove told Cooper that Wilson’s trip had not been authorized by “DCIA”-CIA Director George Tenet-or Vice President Dick Cheney. Rather, “it was, KR said, wilson’s wife, who apparently [...]
I found out a couple things today while checking out the right-wing sites like townhall.com and Bill O’Reilly.com to see if they were continuing to ignore the Rove-a-thon.
They have started to pay attention to the story. It would be hard for them not to after yesterday’s press briefing and today’s front-page stories in all [...]
