Turdgate Timeline

At least that's what it should be called. This isn't about Valerie Plame (the victim), it's about Karl Rove (the traitor), or about him as a surrogate for all the traitors in the White House. Larry Johnson has a great list of facts regarding this case that the wingnuttery simply wish would go away, and go to great lengths to ignore.
