"Oh boy, a feeding frenzy! The speculation, and later revelation, that Karl Rove was a source who blew the whistle on Joe Wilson's Niger chicanery has revived the Valerie Plame kerfuffle. Just when you thought things couldn't get sillier, they do, as the Angry Left's excitement has bubbled up into the mainstream media.

The lead story in today's New York Times is headlined "At White House, a Day of Silence on Rove's Role in C.I.A. Leak." As the Mediacrity blog notes, this is "too cute," given that the Times has dispatched one of its own reporters to jail so that it can keep silent about what it knows about Rove or some other source.

Of course, there is a difference: The Times is keeping silent because the public has a right to know."

I don't think NYT is fooling anyone, but people like Don.

For anyone working at NYT with half a brain it must be embarrassment to work with so many airheads who think they are proud to be "taking a stand for press integrity" or some such nonsense.
