No one wants to get to the bottom of this more than the President of the United States

...except maybe publius.

I'm speaking, of course, about the Karl Rove criminal investigation. I think there's a good chance they'll skip on free...but not so good a chance as there was a few weeks ago.

I'm pretty amazed by the White House Press Corp. Usually a herd of docile sheep, they've started circling like sharks with blood in the water. Evidently, WaPo also thought it remarkable: they've published a transcript.

Note how the White House Press Secretary says 3 times that no one wants to get to the bottom of it more than the President. I think that's the funniest line of the bunch. Shouldn't the President have known about this for roughly two years? Was he duped by Rove or abetting a criminal?

Was he stupid or crooked?

Follow that up with the fact that this whole case is based on a smear campaign over forged documents on Iraqi WMD. The president took us to war based on those forged documents. The echos of that stupid or crooked question just became more relevant.
