I'm almost touching myself

Check this out:
Within the last week, Karl Rove told President Bush and Chief of Staff Joshua Bolten, as well as a few other high level administration officials, that he will be indicted in the CIA leak case and will immediately resign his White House job when the special counsel publicly announces the charges against him, according to sources.

Details of Rove's discussions with the president and Bolten have spread through the corridors of the White House where low-level staffers and senior officials were trying to determine how the indictment would impact an administration that has been mired in a number of high-profile political scandals for nearly a year, said a half-dozen White House aides and two senior officials who work at the Republican National Committee.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, sources confirmed Rove's indictment is imminent. These individuals requested anonymity saying they were not authorized to speak publicly about Rove's situation. A spokesman in the White House press office said they would not comment on "wildly speculative rumors."

Of course, nobody is sure whether or not this is true, but oh, sweet Jah, please, let it be so.

(Props to Kevin Drum for the heads up.)

I don't know if its true...but I sure hope it is. It's about time someone high up in the Bush administration took some responsibility for this incident. Too many of them get away with everything and aren't held acountable. It's time one of them was.
