You can lead the MSM to a story but you can't make them report

While Democrats and their attack arm, the MSM, obsess with Karl Rove Islamo-terrorists-fascists are planning to blow something up in America. While Democrats and the MSM fantasize about Karl Rove in an orange jump suite, Islamo-terror-fascists fantasize about dead Americans – lots of them. Matt Cooper has released an email synopsis of a two minute conversation with Rove where the name Plame was never mentioned. Now, who outted Plame? Cooper? Judith Miller, who is where all times reporters belong – jail? No. Bob Novak wrote the story using Plame’s name and identifying her as a CIA operative.

Why isn’t the MSM hounding Novak, Miller and the NY Times to find out who gave up Plame by name? It’s comical. The MSM is like my son the day I took him to the circus when he was five. Barnum and Bailey’s greatest show on earth, a man is shot from a cannon, men and women perform death defying feats on the high wire, trapeze artists relying on perfect timing while doing triple summer salts and landing in the iron grip of their partner 30 feet above the floor, all of this and what is the boy watching? He’s got his eyes glued to some guy hawking snow cones in the aisle.

Like young Lex, the Dems and the MSM have their eyes on the wrong stuff. Even if the Plame story were in the top 50 things going on in the world today, it would make more sense to be hounding Bob Novak, Judith Miller and the NY Times. But if they did that they couldn’t get Rove. What to do? Well, you can lead a five year old to the circus, but you can’t make him watch. Someone used Plame’s name. Novak knows for sure who it was. The NY Times and Judith Miller may know or just may be covering up shoddy journalism akin to Newsweak and it’s Koran piece.

The bottom line is the press could care less who leaked Plame’s name if it’s not Karl Rove.
