My Head is Going to Explode

And so will yours after you read this editorial from the Wall Street Journal. Here's the money quote:
"Democrats and most of the Beltway press corps
are baying for Karl Rove's head over his role in
exposing a case of CIA nepotism involving Joe
Wilson and his wife, Valerie Plame. On the contrary,
we'd say the White House political guru deserves
a prize--perhaps the next iteration of the
'Truth-Telling' award that The Nation magazine
bestowed upon Mr. Wilson before the Senate
Intelligence Committee exposed him as a fraud.
For Mr. Rove is turning out to be the real
'whistleblower' in this whole sorry pseudo-scandal.
He's the one who warned Time's Matthew Cooper
and other reporters to be wary of Mr. Wilson's
credibility. He's the one who told the press the
truth that Mr. Wilson had been recommended for
the CIA consulting gig by his wife, not by Vice
President Dick Cheney as Mr. Wilson was
asserting on the airwaves. In short, Mr. Rove
provided important background so Americans
could understand that Mr. Wilson wasn't a
whistleblower but was a partisan trying to
discredit the Iraq War in an election campaign.
Thank you, Mr. Rove."
Digg!
