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. Theyâre getting that information from here, from Karl Rove.
MCCLELLAN: And, again, youâre asking questions that are related to news reports about an ongoing, continuing investigation. And youâve had my response on thatâ¦
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.
