Medal of Freedom in the cards for Rove? Any bets on what Bush will do to Rove? Early comments from Bush on the Plame outing:

QUESTION (9/30/03):

Do you think that the Justice Department can conduct an impartial investigation, considering the political ramifications of the CIA leak, and why wouldn't a special counsel be better?

BUSH:

Yes. Let me just say something about leaks in Washington. There are too many leaks of classified information in Washington. There's leaks at the executive branch; there's leaks in the legislative branch. There's just too many leaks. And if there is a leak out of my administration, I want to know who it is. And if the person has violated law, the person will be taken care of.

And so I welcome the investigation. I'm absolutely confident that the Justice Department will do a very good job. There's a special division of career Justice Department officials who are tasked with doing this kind of work; they have done this kind of work before in Washington this year. I have told our administration, people in my administration to be fully cooperative.

I want to know the truth. If anybody has got any information inside our administration or outside our administration, it would be helpful if they came forward with the information so we can find out whether or not these allegations are true and get on about the business.

My guess is that Bush will promote Rove or better yet give him the Medal of Freedom just like he did other past failures, most notably Paul Bremmer(remember him the US-led provisional authority leader in Iraq. The same Paul Bremmer who lost and could not account for 8.8 billion dollars of Iraqi money, yet Bush pins the Medal of Freedom on him. I’m still waiting for the Congressional investigation into that missing 8.8 billion. The Republicans can investigate a bad land deal where the principals lost money and a consensual blow-job spending something like $60 million but a missing 8.8 billion, ugh, who cares, no big deal, just look the other way Sheepole, and now Rove?!
