No Charge
October 28, 2005
You can tell the left is pissed that Karl Rove wasn’t indicted today for his supposed involvement in the Valerie Plame case. However, the question remains: why does the left think that this "controversy" will garner political traction for the Democrats? Here’s a cold fact–most people don’t care. This simply doesn’t affect people’s everyday lives in the same way that, say, the Terri Schiavo case did. To most non-political Americans, it’s just a case of elite multi-millionaires fighting other elite multi-millionaires. Anyone who supports the Democrats or Republicans won’t change their views one way or the other as a result of Scooter Libby’s indictment. So why is the left so enthused? Rush Limbaugh has asserted that liberals think that this "controversy" can be built up into the new Watergate, but surely progressives can’t be so deluded as to think this will actually be the case, can they?
UPDATE: National Review on the indictment.
