It's a hap-hap-happy day

The "traitorgate," or whatever we're calling it this week, story. The president's senior political advisor implicated in a betrayal of his country, and facing the real possibility of time in jail. Specifically for actions so obviously bad even a theater director in Knoxville, Tennessee could get the seriousness of them: Revealing the name of a spy for our side.

Now, he sure seems to be at the very least spinning like mad, and may even be preparing to fall on a sword. That's what I think, anyway. Because, as implied earlier this week, I don't believe the "Rove lied to Bush about his involvement" story.

I think Bush's hands are dirty up to his wrists. But let's say I'm wrong. Because even without that, this is certainly a gift bag stuffed so full of goodies that for we on the left, you have to ask yourself:

Is there anything that could make this scandal any better?

Oh well, I don't know, maybe if, somehow, Jeff Gannon was involved...

Well, guess what.

Jeff Gannon is involved.

Via The Mahablog, there's

evidence that our boy JimmyJeff knew about the classified State Department intelligence memo mentioning Valerie Plame before knowledge of the memo had been made public.

Gannon--who was a phony Marine and an even phonier reporter--but a real male "escort." And Karl Rove trusted him with a State Department top secret memo. Wow.
