Bush not angry at Karl Rove for being a traitor, just for being caught being a traitor.

Other sources confirmed, however, that Bush was initially furious with Rove in 2003 when his deputy chief of staff conceded he had talked to the press about the Plame leak.
Bush has always known that Rove often talks with reporters anonymously and he generally approved of such contacts, one source said.

But the President felt Rove and other members of the White House damage-control team did a clumsy job in their campaign to discredit Plame's husband, Joseph Wilson, the ex-diplomat who criticized Bush's claim that Saddam Hussen tried to buy weapons-grade uranium in Niger.

A second well-placed source said some recently published reports implying Rove had deceived Bush about his involvement in the Wilson counterattack were incorrect and were leaked by White House aides trying to protect the President.

"Bush did not feel misled so much by Karl and others as believing that they handled it in a ham-handed and bush-league way," the source said.

This does not surprise me in the slightest that this is what happened. I have no doubt that the White House is run entirely on the premise that "the ends justifies the means". I guess the only thing that I am surprised about is that somebody is willing to talk about this unbelievably unethical behavior. These people are criminals from the top to bottom.

So I ask again, How is that Impeachment coming?
