The new conspiracy theory...

Dozens of people have pointed out how interested the White House is in deflecting attention from the Rove controversy with the appointment of Roberts. Enough that the Democrats and the media seem to have not taken the bait. But think about it...isn't it strange that an investigation that has been ongoing for years would climax right around the first Supreme Court nomination in years? This virtually silent case, once lauded for it's control of leaks now has a new memo or tidbit to feed the media every few days. Of course, it's is the big story. Who will it take down (if anyone)?

But that doesn't detract from the bigger game. If sacrificing an advisor, a press secretary, or a vice presidential advisor is all it costs to get a young conservative justice on the supreme court bench...hey that's a no-brainer.
