National Journal reports that in 2003, Karl Rove personally assured the President that he did not leak the identity of CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson. Of course, Rove was the source for that leak. Why did he lie? Well, the White House staff keeps a lot of information from the President that might upset him. No one wants to have another Easter Bunny incident like in 2001.
We kid. The President is a smart man and he's known about the Easter Bunny for years. We think the Rove revelation might, however, take him by surprise.
And poor Scotty McClellan. To just find out about both Karl Rove and Easter Bunny now. . .
