Rove won't be charged in CIA leak case because he's too guilty

ASSOCIATED PRESS - Top White House aide Karl Rove has been told by prosecutors he won't be charged with any crimes in the investigation into the leak of a CIA officer's identity, his lawyer said Tuesday, lifting a heavy burden from one of President Bush's most trusted advisers.

For a a while it looked likely that Mr Rove would be spending time in a maximum security prison, however, his lawyer was informed that it wouldn't be Guatanamo Bay because unlike the detainees there, Karl Rove had obviously committed a crime and had evidence that would send him to prison.

Additionally, his trial happened straight away.

"I always knew we were going to have to get him off on a technicality of law, and now that we've succeeded we have proven to the American public that he is innocent," said Rove's Lawyer.

Anyone who is on the truck driving through the hole in that logic can wave anytime.

"In deference to the pending case, we will not make any further public statements about the subject matter of the investigation," Luskin said. "We believe the special counsel's decision should put an end to the baseless speculation about Mr. Rove's conduct."

And it did, because there was only one person who was baselessly speculating - to everyone else it was as obvious as a Bush lie.

Ooh, I nearly feel like voting Democrat now... but not quite.
