Roving the White House

There is nothing new or even uncomplicated, about US White House intrigues. It is, of course, the biggest game in town. There is also a measure of secrecy which comes with economically sensitive decision making.
That is not to suggest the aura of secrecy is limited in any way, or even that it is inviolable.
Presidential appendage, Rove, is the kind of personality who will always generate speculation, most of it sordid. As always however, at least part of the secrets, along with a mass of other extraneous smoke screen, will out.
Rove gets to face his accusers soon on the weighty matter of naming sensitive names in an effort to silence a powerful detractor. You all know the story.
The interesting part now is will the appendage fall on his sword, rather than allow the rest of the White House cabal be sullied by further revelations. It is one thing to suspect the involvement of Bush and Chaney in this scandal, but perhaps Rove’s greatest service to his puppets will be to cover for them.
It is one thing to expose a CIA agent for political gain, but exposing the nation’s noble leadership can’t be tolerated…
