The Rove-A-Dope

John Tierney of the NY Times on the Karl Rove/Valerie Plame "scandal":

For now, though, it looks as if this scandal is about a spy who was not endangered, a whistle-blower who did not blow the whistle and was not smeared, and a White House official who has not been fired for a felony that he did not commit. And so far the only victim is a reporter who did not write a story about it.

Has the hapless Left been Rove-a-Doped yet again by the President? It appears to be the case.
