Play ball! It’s Rove!

Hot off the Newsweek presses:

Rove has never publicly acknowledged talking to any reporter about former ambassador Joseph Wilson and his wife. But last week, his lawyer, Robert Luskin, confirmed to NEWSWEEK that Rove did — and that Rove was the secret source who, at the request of both Cooper’s lawyer and the prosecutor, gave Cooper permission to testify.

Guess Lawrence O’Donnell did know what he was talking about (his scoop, but Isikoff’s story). So. The plot definitely thickens. Do you think the New York Times will do a story on it now?
