Wait for the Frog March

Get this: President Bush is requesting patience and thoughtfulness when it comes to Karl Rove's malfeasance. The standard that wasn't good enough for war is good enough for the Turd Blossom. Where he earlier said he would fire the leaker of this information, he is now saying that he will only fire Rove if Rove is found guilty of a crime. Best. Ethics. Standard. Ever.

Of course, the question is, will that conviction come over the scandal or over the cover-up? Only one in four Americans think the White House is cooperating with this investigation. It's really not surprising, given the fact that Bush has now publicly flip-flopped. Apparently, our President never even thought it would go this far.

The Democratic Party has issued a press release with clipped editorials from around the country. The list of editorials enraged about the President and Turd Blossom is nearly as long as the list of National Security assets endangered by their actions.
