Watch for serious PR machinations from Karl Rove, or rather his lawyer, as media momentum grows for comment on his role in the Plame affair. (Sen. Schumer used his weekly presser to make the case.)

Just how much our nation is divided will be evident as all sides gather their forces to do battle over Justice O’Connor’s replacement. I wonder whether the court of public opinion will even have any influence over this matter.
Let’s not forget about the G8 Summit. Qadaffi quoted berating African countries for having their hands out. Pres. Bush said to stand alone when it comes to energy policy.
