When I first heard

When I first heard these stories about pranks and defacements at the White House from departing Clintonites, I confess, I felt a touch embarrassed. But if the Bushies are so keen on looking forward and not dwelling on the past, then why are they leaking about this to the media so profusely?

Karl Rove apparently leaked to various reporters that he had discovered a “hidden vanity mirror” in a bookcase in his new office – the office previously occupied by Hillary Clinton.

Isn’t this a bit transparent? Lemme guess tomorrow’s leak: sources close to Rove report he found secret bitch supplies apparently used by the former First Lady.

Come on! Isn’t news about Karl Rove being an $%#hole news about Karl Rove, and not the former First Lady?

And it’s very high-minded of the Bushies not to “prosecute” anyone for leaving cartoon pictures of George W. in printer trays. Please!

How does the political press get led around by the nose like this?
