Goodbye Yellow Brick Rove

By now the internets are abuzz with the surprise revelation last night on The McLaughlin Group by Lawrence O'Donnell that Karl Rove, as assumed, will be revealed to be the source of the leak about Valerie Plame's identity.

Here is the transcript of O'Donnell's remarks:

"What we're going to go to now in the next stage, when Matt Cooper's e-mails, within Time Magazine, are handed over to the grand jury, the ultimate revelation, probably within the week of who his source is.

"And I know I'm going to get pulled into the grand jury for saying this but the source of...for Matt Cooper was Karl Rove, and that will be revealed in this document dump that Time magazine's going to do with the grand jury."

Other panelists then joined in discussing whether, if true, this would suggest a perjury rap for Rove, if he told the grand jury he did not leak to Cooper.


Perjury rap for starters, but revealing the identity of undercover federal agents is a federal crime. Looks like Turd Blossom's gonna be pushing ass out of Club Fed for the next decade or so.

Just so his on-screen comments aren't misread, O'Donnell elaborates on Huffington Blog, which would put me on their ginormous blogroll if they had a goddamned clue [hint hint]:

I revealed in yesterday's taping of the McLaughlin Group that Time magazine's emails will reveal that Karl Rove was Matt Cooper's source. I have known this for months but didn't want to say it at a time that would risk me getting dragged into the grand jury.

McLaughlin is seen in some markets on Friday night, so some websites have picked it up, including Drudge, but I don't expect it to have much impact because McLaughlin is not considered a news show and it will be pre-empted in the big markets on Sunday because of tennis.

Since I revealed the big scoop, I have had it reconfirmed by yet another highly authoritative source. Too many people know this. It should break wide open this week. I know Newsweek is working on an 'It's Rove!' story and will probably break it tomorrow.


Get ready to spend the summer watching the crumbling of the enormous cookie of corruption, sprinkled with chocolate chips of despair. Plus walnuts, which are always good in cookies.
