How did we get to this point? When did a trip to Niger and the Vice President even become part of the issue? The RNC seemed to use various attacks on Joe Wilson's credibility regarding this trip to rebut the Democrats' argument that Rove should be fired for violating the cherished White House code of ethics. But where's the argument that Rove played no part in the leak or that, even if he did, that it was excusable?
I'm just not understanding any of the hullaballoo anymore. Joe Wilson, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney... Seems like everyone and their grandmothers are involved in this somehow. Could someone do me the favor of just explaining how we got here and how to sort through the mess of non-verbal argument? I'm not lazy; I just don't know where to start my research.
See post #225 this thread. Links to an article posted on FR today and has a lot of good info in it.
