NPR: FIRINGS WERE ROVE’S COVER PLAN

To conceal which prosecutors he really wanted to fire. This is an explosive story and spreading fast across the internet. And that’s not all:

In a letter Thursday, White House Counsel Fred Fielding told Congress he won’t budge from his original offer — to let Congress interview White House staffers privately, with no oath or transcript.

Sources tell NPR that Fielding actually wants to negotiate with Congress about how the interviews will take place. But Fielding has not been able to persuade President Bush to go along.

So the White House offer really is, as The Daily Show Joked, “go fuck yourself.”
