Crack, flop, hit, nuts, pot-committed. Limp, leak, house, draw, gun-shot straight. It’s not spoken word and far from Dr. Seuss; say hello to the parlance of poker. No longer resigned to the backrooms of Western saloons (very smoky, very Maverick, always black and white) or Friday nights with the boys (beer, bets, and babe talk), it seems everyone is speaking the colloquialism of cards...
Karl Rove has a plan, as always. Even before testifying last week for the fourth time before a grand jury probing the leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity, Bush senior adviser Rove and others at the White House had concluded that if indicted he would immediately resign or possibly go on unpaid leave, several legal and Administration sources familiar with the thinking told TIME.

Bill Frist, the top Republican in the Senate, remains under investigation for a stock sale that that has raised suspicions of insider trading, while a prosecutor...
...presidential adviser who has been briefed on the chronology of the decision, senior adviser Karl Rove was less involved than he is in most major decisions. Some conservatives speculate that Rove was distracted or out of the loop because of his possible legal jeopardy in the CIA leak case, but White House officials reject that notion. The driving force was chief of staff Andrew H. Card Jr., who took over the vetting role. "This is something that Andy and the President cooked up," the adviser told TIME. "Andy knew it would appeal to the President because he loves appointing...
