Rove and the RNC's spin is that he's the good guy who did something good, and Joe Wilson is the bad guy who did something bad (which they've somehow been spinning with straight faces).

But why would anyone who did something good, and got into trouble for it (if that makes sense), wait two years to speak up and defend themselves? You'd think Rove would have used this argument from the beginning (if it was legitimate).

So let me see if I have this straight....Rove spins his way out of doing something good (huh?) that would have made a "liberal" look bad (huh?) by denying it (huh?).

Yup, that sounds like Republican logic to me!

And then when the investigation gets him into legal and political trouble, that's when he decides to "come clean" with the "truth" - that he's the good guy who did the "honest" thing - while slandering Wilson in the process.

Yup, that sounds like something a Republican would do!

If Rove had nothing to hide and was really the good guy, he would have been bragging about it - and milking it politically - two years ago and he wouldn't have gotten into all this trouble. And if anyone's been straight from the very beginning, it's Wilson because his story hasn't changed.

So this is all spin, designed solely for mindless and gullible Republicans to ensure that they remain on Rove's side.

Of course brainwashed conservatives will respond to this with even more spin (along with their usual ridicule and "liberal" insults). Great, bring it on; it'll prove me right because the more spin there is, the more guilty Rove looks.

I love using logic to prove Republicans and their spin wrong. It's SO EASY!
