What Did Bush Know And When Did He Know It?

A controversial New York Daily News article that's got the "blogosphere" all abuzz today asserts that President Bush knew about Karl Rove's role in the Plame leak back in 2003. (This would mean he lied, by the way, something he certainly would never do) It also says that Bush was angry and "made his displeasure known to Karl". I'm not gonna ask how. I'm not sure I buy that, though... well, the angry part, not the knowing part. Still, the article has people talking.

Scott McClellan even refused to discuss the article's accuracy (after sort of discussing it for a second) in today's White House press briefing. Let's play a drinking game with that transcript. Every time Scott refuses to answer even the most basic question, citing the "ongoing investigation" excuse, take two shots. If he uses the phrase twice in the same response, three shots.

This is all, to say the least, getting very interesting.

Also- With the right-wing spin machine on full speed, Think Progress has put together a fact sheet debunking the right-wing myths/talking points about the Plame investigation. Really great stuff:
