Lawrence O’Donnell has outed Bush’s Brain, Karl “I had nothing to do with the gay male prostitute in the White House” Rove as the source of the Valerie Plame leak. The grand jury is investigating the case of just how in the world Robert “Master of Douchebaggery” Novak found out that Ambassador Joseph Wilson’s wife was a covert CIA operative, and then plastered that fact around the planet in his column, in apparent retaliation for Wilson’s whistleblowing on Bush’s fake “Saddam sought uranium yellowcake from Niger” justfication for war.

Plame’s career is ruined and her life and the lives of countless other deep-cover agents and informants were risked as well, just to punish the man who tried to speak the truth and expose the administration’s fixing of the facts to match the policy. The grand jury is in the process getting their hands on notes from Time magazine reporters, and O’Donnell confirms that the notes will prove Karl Rove as the treasonous bastard in question. (Why Novak gets a free pass is beyond my understanding at this point.)

Of course, we’re all aware that President Chimpy takes this all very, very seriously. It’s probably only second to Iraq in the list of topics he thinks about all the time. What was that he said about the Plame leak, way back in October 2003?

This is a very serious matter, and our administration takes it seriously. As members of the press corps here know, I have, at times, complained about leaks of security information, whether the leaks be in the legislative branch or in the executive branch. And I take those leaks very seriously.

… And, you know, there’s a lot of leaking in Washington, D.C. It’s a town famous for it. And if this helps stop leaks of — this investigation in finding the truth, it will not only hold someone to account who should not have leaked — and this is a serious charge, by the way. We’re talking about a criminal action, but also hopefully will help set a clear signal we expect other leaks to stop, as well. And so I look forward to finding the truth.

So, naturally, we can expect you to ask Mr. Rove to cooperate fully with the grand jury. Maybe you could even ask him to resign so he doesn’t tarnish the image of your presid… presiden… Excuse me, I need to go get some paper towels to clean up the Diet Coke that just sprayed out of my nose.

There. All better. I should know better than to try to type that kind of sarcasm while drinking.
