Heh, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer‘s editorial on Rove-Plame is appropriately scathing:
Schoolchildren, take note. There will still be high standards for you, your teachers and your schools. But at the White House, the rule is a little different: No pal left behind. Unless, of course, he is an out-and-out criminal. That’s quite a standard.
Yep: No felons in the White House. That’s the new Bush standard. Actually, that’s not quite true. The standard is: No current felons. Former felons like John Poindexter and Elliott Abrams are, of course, welcome to work in the administration.
