Yeah, yeah: It was Rove behind the Plame leak. Knock me over with a feather. Many on the left want to claim the unveiling of Rove as a victory, but of what, exactly? Rove is probably not going to jail --the law he may have broken is unclearit looks like did not "knowingly" reveal the name** -- and for this to be a net loss for the administration it would have to look bad. It doesn't look bad. Essentially, Rove got caught spreading petty gossip ("Joe Wilson doesn't wear the pants in his family!") that turned out to be of marginal national security interest.* If you can figure out a way to change a vote with that information, we've got a party for you to run.
