Rove and Soccer

That TalkingPointsMemo is great -- based on what's been published in the papers, Rove talked up Plame's covert status to political consultants and other journalists prior to acknowledgement by the US government, and that looks like 10 years in prison --- even if there's no proof he leaked it to Novak. The statute looks written exactly for that case -- specifically to keep high officials from confirming journalistic leaks (or speculation), which is what Rove did.

Re Shaolin Soccer, Derek: I remember a $100M bet on Beckham, I do remember at least thinking Shaolin Soccer should do that well, but I don't think we made that bet. And if you think you can beat me twice with the same stick (Beckham didn't come near $100M), you'd be wrong about that -- at least in this case.
