Good Rove catch by the folks at ThinkProgress.

From today’s briefing

MORAN: … Fox News and other surrogates are essentially saying that the conversation lasted for two minutes and that the subject was ostensibly welfare reform. They’re getting that information from here, from Karl Rove.

MCCLELLAN: And, again, you’re asking questions that are related to news reports about an ongoing, continuing investigation. And you’ve had my response on that…

Ahh, to hear Karl begging and pleading for an easy ride from Brit Hume. Nice too <$NoAd$> that Moran was frank enough to identify Fox News as a Rove surrogate operation …

Late Update: Along the lines of this exchange, I would be remiss if I didn’t note Rove’s apparent attempt to invoke the well-known ‘short conversation’ exception to the relevant law.
