Turd Blossom and the Goblet of Shit
[via Raw Story] On the second day of Fitzmas, Rove will either plead or be indicted on charges of lying and obstruction of justice. Raw Story reports that:
"Those close to the investigation say Fitzgerald will present evidence to the grand jury later this week obtained from other witnesses who were interviewed by the Special Prosecutor or testified, showing that Rove made misleading statements to Justice Department and FBI investigators in an attempt to cover-up his role in the leak when he was first interviewed about it in October 2003.
The most serious charges Rove appears to face are making false statements to investigators and obstruction of justice, the sources said. Rove does not appear to be in jeopardy of being charged with violating a law making it a crime to leak the name of a covert CIA agent because it’s unlikely that he was aware that Plame was undercover, they added."
Most interesting is the following: "Rove’s former personal assistant, Susan B. Ralston - who was also a special assistant to President Bush - testified in August about why [journalist Matt] Cooper’s call to Rove was not logged. Ralston said it occurred because Cooper had phoned in through the White House switchboard and was then transferred to Rove’s office as opposed to calling Rove’s office directly. As Rove’s assistant, Ralston screened Rove’s calls. But those close to the probe [said] Fitzgerald obtained documentary evidence showing that other unrelated calls transferred to Rove’s office by the switchboard were logged. He then called Ralston back to testify."

The rest will plead and go away.
One can only hope.

Don't hold back, honey; tell us how you really feel! So - do you think Ralston will help sink Rove's ship? Me - I hope the damn thing goes down with all hands.

Turd blossom and the Goblet of Shit? How do you come up with this stuff? So funny. I hope Rove goes. I think he is a very evil person, who is very bad for the country.
