thing is, Rove is NOT a dumb fellow. He knows when not to say stuff, and he understands how to keep BUSH from blabbing the wrong things by feeding him short, concise answers for most occasions....but Rove, after 5 years of pulling strings and watching puppets dance, has gotten smug in his power and overconfident in his notion of what is permissible when you fee' 'righteous', and he can't resist pushing his luck and doing one more bit of smearing of his 'enemies'.

Now I don't know whether I hope he is fired, or whether I hope he stays where he is so we can keep an eye on him......
