Veeeeeddy eeeenteresting story making the rounds tonight. Didn't see it myself (Watch McLaughlin? I'd sooner go to a meeting of the county sewer & waste management commission, both for interest in the subject and coherence of the usual presentation) but I'd consider a story from Editor & Publisher pretty well confirmed...

NEW YORK Now that Time Inc. has turned over documents to federal court, presumably revealing who its reporter, Matt Cooper, identified as his source in the Valerie Plame/CIA case, speculation runs rampant on the name of that source, and what might happen to him or her. Tonight, on the syndicated McLaughlin Group political talk show, Lawrence O'Donnell, senior MSNBC political analyst, claimed to know that name--and it is, according to him, top White House mastermind Karl Rove.

Not a data dump--Lawrence O'Donnel is an old Clinton hand iirc, at any rate no friend of the Perpetrators of the Current Unpleasantness--but interesting timing on Getaway Friday before Independence Day weekend, and the day the O'Connor retirement is sucking up all the political oxygen to boot.

Atrios and Digby are both poking sticks into the burrow to see what crawls out. For your musical entertainment we suggest a medley of "Wouldn't It Be Nice", "Wouldn't It Be Loverly" and "Good Day Sunshine", "Good Morning Starshine", and the like. Or if your taste runs more in that direction, "Helter Skelter." Heh heh heh.
