...West Wing were suddenly snakebit, his franchise player, senior adviser and deputy chief of staff, Karl Rove, was on the disabled list for part of last week, working from home after being briefly hospitalized with painful kidney stones...
...absurd that New York Times reporter Judith Miller was put in jail for refusing to reveal her confidential sources, while Rove remains in a job paid for by U.S. taxpayers. It's time for Bush to demonstrate true character and do as he promised, without parsing the relative legality of Rove's actions, which were at the very least arrogant and unethical.

Klein should be applauded for reminding Americans that Bush's top priority is to protect and enhance his and his party's image. Nearly every issue is molded along political-party lines and spun. When will Americans finally stand up and demand that this Administration...
