Rove - Not London. Surprised?

We could have taken the easy way out today and given you a couple of links on the air to blogs about the London terror bombings. You WILL find one or two at the bottom of our list. But we put a bit more energy into our search and came up with a couple of very interesting posts on Rove and Novak.
First, let's let's take a look at what the Washington Post was reporting today. And the blogger writes:
Dan Balz even appears to have picked up on the semantics game the White House has been playing on this scandal for years now:

The admission that Rove had spoken to Cooper appeared at odds with previous White House statements. In retrospect, however, these statements -- which some interpreted as emphatic denials -- were in fact carefully worded.

Our second blog reference on the air points out another columnist who is REALLY not happy with Novak. Here, my friends, is a lesson for young journalists. A lesson in how to do things right. And how to do things wrong.
If Novak says he can't talk until the case is over, then he shouldn't be allowed to publish or opine on the air until the case is over. He should know the rage some of his colleagues feel. Claiming to be "baffled" by Novak's behavior may have been plausible for a while. With Miller now sitting in jail, and possibly facing criminal charges later, "baffled" is sounding lame.


Still looking for blogs on London? We promised you something, and we, of course, deliver. Click here for enough links to keep you reading for a long time.

Had MSNBC on in the office just now, and they mentioned this as an interesting London blog. It's authored by someone who lives just a few blocks from on of the blasts.
