"Matt Cooper called to give me a heads-up that he's got a welfare reform story coming," Rove wrote in the e-mail to Hadley.
Note: Cooper called Rove. Just as Novak called Rove.
Already, this makes it harder to argue that Rove was calling around to reporters and telling them that there was a spy they needed to report on.
But wait. There's more.
"When he finished his brief heads-up he immediately launched into Niger. Isn't this damaging? Hasn't the president been hurt? I didn't take the bait, but I said if I were him I wouldn't get Time far out in front on this."
Meaning, its exactly what Rove has said; that he was correcting the lie that Wilson was propagating about Niger. Wilson said that Iraq wasn't trying to get uranium from Niger in an editorial. Rove told the reporter that he was wrong.
This whole story is completely collapsing in on the left, and its pretty funny to watch. As more and more evidence escapes that Rove is innocent, the left has changed their strategy to adapt.
Now the argument is that it wasn't Rove, but the "Bigger Picture" of our involvement in Iraq, etc. Etc. Etc.
Another words, how were they to know that they were going off the deep end? Again?
