What Karl Rove Knew When

Time magazine is now reporting that Bush’s chief political and policy advisor Karl Rove most likely learned of C.I.A. agent Valerie Plame Wilson’s name from within the administration, not reporters as he testified, and prior her husband Joe Wilson’s Op/Ed piece in the New York Times saying there was no evidence of Nigerian yellow-cake being sold to Saddam Hussein in Iraq, which contradicts his previous testimony.

The worm turns, as they say, on Mr. Rove, perhaps the most vicious political retributionist in American History. His problem is a thing called Karma, and as it often does, returns ten-fold the evil a person perpetrates, or the good. As a number of our readers have pointed out in the past, it is hard to find the good these people have done for their world with all their power. If you work only evil, and you get a second term in the White House, history shows that the pendulum swings and the powerful take the heat and feel the consequences.

The problem for the people, however, is that the Bush crowd has amassed more power than any leaders certainly in American History, if not World History. Would someone in the press or the blogosphere seize a historian to comment on this?

Or, dear readers, what say ye?
