Oh dont think for a second that Rove didnt have this charted out long ago - even had the day planned for the announcement - just had to wait till the perfect day to mask the leak results so that the gullible media would forget all about Libby - unfortunately CNN figured it out and they are all over the leak investigation - and even have Wilson coming on to describe more in detail.
Just noticed they have accepted advertising from MoveOn as well - some pretty harsh anti-war stuff. Also a good day to pull attention away from Silvio Berlusconi's visit to the white house.
Should be a good terrorist attack any day now - need to wag that dog a little more.
That and they want to hide this fact from being reported today:
"A Sept. 30 report by the Government Accountability Office found the White House violated federal law by buying favorable news coverage in advance of the 2004 elections. This is the fourth time the GAO has uncovered the White House's illegal use of taxpayer money to produce "covert propaganda."
These violations may just form the tip of the iceberg. The administration has more than doubled its public relations budget, tapping a quarter billion in taxpayer dollars since Bush came into office. And while the report is damning, the GAO doesn't have enforcement powers to reveal the full extent of the abuse."
