did i hear a gulp?

The NY Daily News article.

Is ABC's Note website too busy thinking up poli-insider puns and acronym humor to catch a huge contribution to their favorite new acronym, WDHKAWDHKI (what did he know and when did he know it)?

This morning, they framed the gaggle fronting story from today's NY Daily News like this:

And take a look at what might be a window into some new White House thinking on how best to position the President in advance of any possible indictments. LINK

Super-plugged-in Tom DeFrank of the New York Daily News reports exclusively that an "angry President Bush rebuked chief political guru Karl Rove two years ago for his role in the Valerie Plame affair. . .'He made his displeasure known to Karl,' a presidential counselor told The News. 'He made his life miserable about this.'"

DeFrank has another source claiming that reports that Rove may have misled Bush about the "Wilson counterattack were incorrect and were leaked by White House aides trying to protect the president."

Right there under your nose, Note! Thinking this article is "a window into some new White House thinking on how best to position the President in advance of any possible indictments" is about like thinking a kiss on the cheek from Al Capone is an indicator of long life.

Josh Marshall got all over the Daily News article, so take a look at the plethora of posts today at TPM. If the story is correct, and the president was going around saying

Listen, I know of nobody -- I don't know of anybody in my administration who leaked classified information. If somebody did leak classified information, I'd like to know it, and we'll take the appropriate action.

he is in, as dad used to say, trouble city.
